Well, I feel right I speak my words on the track 'cause the track sounds tight Well, if you're feeling good and you're feeling right Uh, somebody step up and grab the mic Hello everybody and how you been? It's Ad-Rock rappin' on the microphone again I got grace, class, style, finesse, and debonair Murdalize motherfuckers 'cause I just don't care The Emcee Whisperer, kinda like a trainer I take sucker rappers, I put 'em through a strainer Like macaroni 'cause the shit sound cheesy Watch how it's done, boy, it looks easy Nonstop, going off, kingpin, microphone boss Do my own thing you, can't afford the cost Of my style, take you through a turnstile 'Cause I'm live and direct, and I'm wicked and wild Because I'm back on a roll, got total control I flow like the water out your toiler bowl Your style is cheap, boy, just like a Dutch You know you're not smokin' on the microphone much There's a certain special talent that I never lack Huh-ha, huh-ha, and that's a fact 'Cause we shine like the chrome on a Cadillac You better break a wishbone 'cause we never wack Said we're never that and that is that And we're the nonstop disco powerpack Uh, that's right, we go all night Who gonna be next to bless the mic? Now this it the way we run it down We're gettin' you high on the funky sounds This is the way we get it on B-Boys in the house 'til the break of dawn See, I mix my style up like a cement mixer Smooth and fix ya, like a rhyme elixir "Yo-yo, sound man, make Mike's mic louder" Don't make me sound cheap like a box of douche powder I max and relax, champagne mojito Don't go commando, don't know bandito Je m'appelle Michel Perignon Me and Claude in the chateau, we got it going on Quincy's in the hot tub like it's '73 Looking over his shoulder and he's looking at me I'm all white in the face, towel around my waist What's up with that watch inside that glass case? I got to make my move, sneak out the place Undetected, not leaving a trace Party's done, microphone's wrecked Wines been drunk and heads been checked I see one last profiterole and make my play And pass the microphone to MCA Nonstop, on the top, and you clock, when we rock Never fakin', no mistakin', we be makin' hip hop So come on everybody, get down, yeah Now it's a spot check, hit the deck, count down 'Cause I'ma break it down for you how we run it down Pound for pound, keep the bass lines round I seen you watchin', clockin', jockin' my sound But, for real, I been glad I grew up in hip hop Still got mad love for a record called "Beat Bop" It meant a lot spinning on my Walkman Shout out to the African Bam And to the S to the P the double O-N-Y The one MC who you can't deny I'd listen to the records and they'd inspire Sit down to write and the pen breathes fire Construct a rhyme with specific intent Flowin' from and brain cells right to my pen And then I put the book down, grab ahold the mic Words flowin' so cold, turn water to ice Come through the wire, saturate the tape You put me in the mix, nice it up with the plate And then they press it on wax, sell it in the store The DJ spin the record out on the dance floor Comin' through the speaker to shake your eardrum Brain cells get lit, then you hear where we're comin' from Well, Ad-Rock (huh), get it on We gonna rock the house until the break of dawn Mike D (huh), get it on We gonna rock the house until the break of dawn MCA (a-yeah), get it on We gonna rock the house until the break of dawn Beastie Boys in the house, don't stop
