Do It Lyrics - Ill Communication - Beastie Boys

Like the blackbirds Ima do it fluid 

Building rhymes like buildings, like a Stonehenge druid 

Step up and get enlightened, educating my mind 

I play the tape forward, it's not time to rewind 

Step inside the motherfucker and I get my flow on 

Amalgamate my style so I got something to go on 

Seasons change when it comes their time 

Fall brings the winter and on back to springtime 

Well, it's the king Adrock and that's who I am 

Listen all of y'all I'm not the son of Sam 

'Cause I'm thin and I don't grin 

But check it out people 'cause I love to go and swim 

Caught up on the phone fiber optic distraction 

Information super highway got the brain contraction 

I'm the kung-fu master versus the sumo wrestler 

Got the beats in Manhattan you can hear in Westchester 

Well, my mother was born out in Coney Island 

Raised on the L.E.S Manhattan Island 

My dad camo out from Detroit and they had me 

And back on through Ellis Island goes through the family tree 

Well, I'm a six-point-seven on the Richter scale 

Got rhymes gallore and then I never fail 

Like gravy to potatoes, Luke to Darth Vader 

I'm a souped-up sucker and I'll see you all later 

You see me coming down the block with the funky cuts 

You say (hey, Mike D!) and I say mic these nuts 

I've got attractions like I'm Elvis Costello 

Adam Yauch grab the mic 'cause you know you're my mellow 

Well when I get it into the zone 

I'm gonna take my mind to a place where I'm all alone 

Ah well, I've got my shit and the rhyme style's kicking 

My brain is flowing, honest like Abe Lincoln 

'Cause I'm the fuckin' rhythm ace with the rhyme selection 

Listen all y'all I rap with perfection 

Because I got the mother fuckin' old school flavor 

That you savor so watch your behavior 

Talking other dimensions, levels higher 

Why did Billy Joel say "we didn't start the fire" 

Take you to another realm, another level 

I've got the funky rhymes but I'm not the funky devil 

I step from minute to minute, lifetime to lifetime 

Step from stage to stage to see it all unwind 

Slowly but surely I seek to find my mind 

And every wall that I face is ow my own design 

Yeah, Glendale Boulevard, a-Boulevard 

Glendale Boulevard is where I'm at 

It's where I'm at, where I live 

Check-it-check-it out 'cause my head is like a sieve and we turn it out
