3 The Hard Way - Beastie Boys

3 The Hard Way Lyrics

Fresh dressed 'cause I shop at Models
Deep in Brooklyn I rode the L's
Used to ride the D to beat the morning bell
At Edward R. Morrow out on Avenue LNow 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 classicYou 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 RexWe'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 wayYour rhyme technique, it is antique
To all my heads Qu'est-ce-que tu fabriques?
Que cosa fai? Come sta e?
Ho fato molte telefonateI said oops, gotcha clutch like Piazza
Sneak between the sheets so hide like matzoh
Holler back challah bread next

We are the crew who put the crew in CruexI 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 threeWe'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 wayRound house kick the mic out your hand
Drunken mantis, my name brand
So if you're slick with the tricks and the slight of hand
And I'm hip top the shit that you're trying to scamGnip Gnop I got shit 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 fuck out my faceYou know we shake 'em, bake 'em then we take 'em
Treat MCs like leaves go out and rake 'em
If you sell our C.D.s on Canal before we make 'em
And serve you on a platter like steak 'emWe'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
