The Scoop Lyrics

(Beastie Boys/Caldato) 

     I don't get blind most of the time I don't drink wine
     I took a sledge hammer and I broke my nine
     Because life is mine, word is born I rhyme
     And every day I write the book down line by line
     I'm feeling good when I do it like this
     So come on and turn it up because you can't resist
     Because I'm back with another track which you lack
     'Cause things is wack and that's a fact
     Because I'm on time, you're shouting rewind
     You know it's Ad Rock that's blowing your mind
     My shit is rough and you know it is so damn tough
     I'm getting intense, not talking nonsese
     I made up my mind, not sitting on the fence
     I don't always the right from the wrong
     I do my best to figure it out and work it out in the long
     I try to do a lot more than I can chew
     Balance out my ambition's what I've got to do

     Because you hide in broad day light, a parasite
     A hypocrite, you take a peek quick
     You turn your nose up, you think you're high up
     You play it real safe and now your shit's fake
     I seen you hawking and then you clock my style
     And then you try to play it off like you think you're wild
     D.I.Y. that means do it yourself
     Don't sit around waiting for someone's help
     Don't sit back and say good enough
     Keep on striving, reinventing but keeping it off
     The cuff

     So kick the level up cuhootnified
     Mackadocius vibes positively fortified
     I'm throwing rhymes kicking them downtown
     Travelling high speed through the underground
     I kick it free style, make it worth your while
     I've got shelves of rhymes that I keep on file
     I'm feeling good now back home again
     New York City is the city that I feel at home in

     A blast from the grasshoff awhile it's been
     Stepping into the future again
     I'm straight from the 88 to 93 to 94, i'm out the door
     Step into the party with the Fila Fresh Gear
     People looking at me like I was David Koresh here
     Kicking rhymes from the heart 'cause that's where I'm at
     Fuck the bullshit, be it far from me to top that

     In the search for truth, I go a lot of ways
     There's not a lot of peace, that I find these days
     I try to stay cool, I try to stay calm
     But my life is getting hectic like a smoke bomb
     So I'll say it like the group huggy bear
     There's a boy-grrrl revolution of wich you should be aware
     You can't dis me, it ain't worth it, B
     You put yourself down and you don't even see
     Cause I don't play that, I know who I am
     For a minute, I did but now I'm back again
     I'm Feeling strong see, trust myself G
     Well i stopped smoking cheeba
     And that was part of the key
     We've got fire, we need water, so I guess I ought to
     Leave you broke in a comatose state of mind
     And I'm blind and I'm working overtime, so check it
     I keep my rhymes in a little black book
     And I know you want to take another look
