3 The Hard Way Lyrics - To The 5 Boroughs - Beastie Boys

Fresh dressed 'cause I shop at Models 

Deep in Brooklyn I rode the Ls 

Used to ride the D to beat the morning bell 

At Edward R. Morrow out on Avenue L 

Now, we be grillin' cheese and flippin' flapjacks 

With the diamond stylus, yo, we cutting wax 

We're the super elastic bubble plastic 

Got ethereal material that's straight up classic 

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 discotheque 

Or we'll make you extinct Tyrannosaurus Rex 

We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way 

We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way 

We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way 

Three the hard way, three the hard way 

Your rhyme technique, it is antique 

To all my heads, "qu'est-ce-que tu fabriques?" 

Que cosa fai? Come sta e? 

Ho fato molte telefonate 

I said oops, gotcha, clutch like Piazza 

Sneak between the sheets so hide the matzoh 

Holler back challah bread 

Next, we are the crew that put the crew in Cruex 

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 five, not four, not two, just three 

We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way 

We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way 

We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way 

Three the hard way, three the hard way 

Round-house kick the mic out your hand 

Drunken mantis, my name brand 

If you're slick with the tricks and the sleight of hand 

I'm hip to the shit that you're trying to scam 

Gnip, Gnop I got zits to pop 

I'm an exceptional professional that just don't stop, so 

Pack up your bag and your mic and don't wait 

E.T. phone home now get the funk out my face 

You know we shake'em bake'em then we take'em 

Treat MCs like leaves, go out and rake'em 

Sell our CDs on Canal before we make'em 

Serve you on a platter like steak and bacon 

We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way 

We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way 

We're gonna rock this motherfucker like three the hard way 

Three the hard way, three the hard way
