"Bet you're wondering what's been goin' on"
"Bet you think I almost lost my mind"

My DJ's got the cuts and the beats are on
We're comin' with the limericks and we're comin' strong
And the rhythm's on time to every word and rhyme
When it comes to keep it real I keep it really wrong
At the risk of sounding crass I would like to mention
That I'm well aware of your wack intentions
To usurp my prose you so and so
It's my primary bone of contention
I tell you everybody I've had it
Ah with all these people with static
I'll go insane if it don't rain
Sucker MC's are problematic

I love it when you hit those switches
A curve ball's what my pitch is
So here we here we come
Like dum ditty dum
I keep all five boroughs in stitches

"You're right man"

C'mon
Let's try to negotiate C'mon
Let's try to negotiate C'mon
Let's try to negotiate C'mon
Let's try to negotiate

"Bet you're wondering what's been goin' on"

Sound sound sound sound sound sound
Sound sounds sweeter through the echolex
And It'll spin you around and throw you in a hex
Until you feel no pain inside your brain
All your worries are soothed by the sound effects
by the sound effects..by the sound effects

You read it in the Post and the Daily News
Listen everybody let's show improve
Don't let me begin about heroin
Living six feet deep just ain't the move

We're giving you soul power
I like it sweet and sour
When it comes to rhymes and beat designs
I'm at the control tower

"Bet you're wondering what's been goin' on"
"Bet you're wondering what's been goin' on"

Tell me what makes you so afraid
Of all those people you say you hate
Just give it one time for your mind
And let's try to negotiate
C'mon Ah let's try to negotiate
C'mon uh Ah let's try to negotiate
C'mon Ah let's try to negotiate
C'mon uh Ah let's try to negotiate

"You're right man"

Tell me what makes you so afraid
Of all those people you say you hate
Just give it one time for your mind
And let's try to negotiate
C'mon Ah let's try to negotiate
C'mon uh Ah let's try to negotiate
C'mon Ah let's try to negotiate
C'mon uh Ah let's try to negotiate

"Bet you're wondering what's been goin' on"
"Bet you think I almost lost my mind"

"The Beastie.."

Beatsie Beatsie
Beatsie Beatsie Boys gettin' live on the spot
Puttin' all kinds of shame in the game you got
We keep the party movin' to the broad day light
g-e-t-l-i-v-e alright

Transhypnotic robotic can't stop it
No limits to this style and you know you can't lock it yea
First you mock it, rock it and then you stock it
But I've got the styles that are always in the
Well like a bird floating down on a New York breeze
Every thought in the mind is a planted seed
So watch the mind or the thoughts will stack
Before you know it they're boomeranging on back
Well I'm the king of boogle there is none higher
I gets 11 points off the word quagmire
Fools can't see me that's how it is
And that's how I like and that's my biz

Beatsie Beatsie Boys gettin' live on the spot
Puttin' all types of shame in the game you got
We keep the party movin' to the broad day light
g-e-t-l-i-v-e alright

Time's an illusion as the moments race by
Too fast to really grasp though we may try
Deny, till we die, ooh my my
These thoughts that mislead and then multiply
Well second by second and minute by minute
"It's like lotto you have to be" "in it to win it"
Shakin' mind breakin' on their own demise
Lies tax to the max and they'll be feelin' those vibes
So tell me what you need that you have got
Fiending on power will make your blood clot
It starts with the greed and then goes all wrong
That's why we can't all just get along
We're all connected like a Lego set
One equaling one together like a croquette
Whether we have or have not yet met
Well it ain't no thing and it ain't no sweat

Beatsie Beatsie Boys gettin' live on the spot
Puttin' all kinds of shame in the game you got
We keep the party movin' to the broad day light
g-e-t-l-i-v-e alright

Well you're caught in a panic and it's rattled your brain
The selfish ways just can't maintain
But these are the breaks when you try and come fake
Don't come with the rhymes that you just half baked
Well I'm the Benihana chef on the SP12
I chop the fuck out the beats left on the shelf
You be like hello nasty where you been
It's time you brought the grimy beats out the dungeon
I jumped outside the house with my Walkman on
I get so hyped when I hear this song
It's gonna keep me happy like all day long
So go and talk shit 'cause it just makes me strong
Don't grease my palm with your filthy cash
Multinationals spreading like a rash
I might stick around or I might be a fad
But I won't sell my songs for no TV ad

Beatsie Beatsie
Beatsie Beatsie Boys gettin' live on the spot
Puttin' all kinds of shame in the game you got
We keep the party movin' to the broad day light
g-e-t-l-i-v-e alright
