Live at P.J.'s Lyrics
Well, back to the beat y'all,
Down with the sound so sweet y'all
Just how fresh can you get y'all
Those that are blessed say yes y'all
'Cause I'm a come inside and do my thing
I'm gonna take off my drawers and let myself swing
Tantalize my tummy with a boo boo snack
Now I got to get back
Gonna break it down to the nitty grit
Gonna tell you motherfuckers why you ain't shit
'Cause suckers like you just make me strong
When you're popping that bullshit all day long
I'm gonna bust my shoes I'm gonna bust my socks
I'm gonna spread my word from standing on this box
This drive-thru world it just ain't right
Gonna run to Joe and Tony's and get my hair cut nice
Well come on y'all and let's work it out
I'm trying to get up so don't you get me down
Life I love you now give me a pound
Up from the frying pan into the fire
Look within and try to admire
What's going on

Possibly the greatest line ever? Maybe. thumbs up
This line is very significant. It is a loose quote from a line spat by Kool Moe Dee in an early battle tape. Battle tapes were live recordings of early MC's battling each other on the mic. Busy Bee was on the mic & Kool Moe Dee (unknown at the time) forced his way from the crowd onto the stage & took the mic from Busy Bee & began with something almost exactly like this. The stories may be exaggerated but it is said that Busy Bee left before Kool Moe Dee finished his freestyle. It is also said that...

Could be the best line ever. It has quite a rich history.
Lesser known song from Check Your Head. Very different even for the Beasties. The music is more like the instrumental, funky, jazz stuff but the lyrics are hip hop & I believe Ad Rock sings the whole thing. Solid track. I would've loved to see them do this one live.
Each "why'all" should just be "y'all"
