Beastie Boys - 3 The Hard Way LYRICS

MCA-
Fresh Dressed
cause I shop at Modell's
Deep in Brooklyn
I ride elevated trains
Used to ride the D to beat the morning bell
At Edward R. Murrow at 1600 Avenue L.

AdRock-
Well, we be grillin' cheese and flippin' flapjacks
With the diamond stylus
Yo, we're cutting wax
We're the super elastic bubble plastic
Got ethereal material that's straight up classic

Mike D-
You try to vex reject but you should respect
Or we'll have JC send you out a FedEx
So don't start to flex up in the disctheque
Or we'll make you extinct like a tyranosaurus rex

Chorus-
Were gonna rock motherfucker
Like 3 the hard way
(repeat)

MCA-
Your rhyme technique
It is antique
To all my heads all over the world
Qu`est-ce-que tu fabriques?
Que cosa fai? Come sta e?
Ho fato molte telefonate

AdRock-
OOPS! Gotcha
Clutch like Piazza
Sneak between the sheets
So hide the matzoh
Holla back challah bread...next
We are the crew that put the crew in cruex

Mike D-
I can see that Def Jam doesn't recognize me
I'm Mike D,
The one who put the satin in your panties
Time to count MC's in this place to be
Not 5 not 4 not 2 just 3

(chorus)

1 1 1, 2 2 2, 3 3 3, what up?
1 1 1, 2 2 2, 3 3 3, what up?

MCA-
Roundhouse kick the mic out your hand
Drunken Mantis, my name brand
So if you're slick with the tricks and the slight of hand
I'm hip to the shit that you're trying to scam

AdRock-
Ginp Ginop
I got shit to pop
I'm an exceptional professional
That just don't stop
o pack up your bags and your mic
And don't wait
E.T. phone home
Now get the fuck out my face!

Mike D-
You know we shake 'em, bake 'em
Then we take 'em
Treat MC's like leaves
Go out and Rake 'em
If you see our CD's on canal before we make 'em
Then we'll have no other alternative
But to serve you on a platter like steak-ummm

(chorus)
