This is a short compilation of Beastie Boys lyrics that mean a lot to me. They are all lyrics MCA said (I didn't pick them out that way, they just all happened to be by him). I wish I could list them under 'Inspirational', 'Wisdom', and 'Music' but I can only pick one.
"If you can feel what I'm feeling then it's a musical masterpiece Hear what I'm dealing with then that's cool at least What's running through my mind comes through in my walk True feelings are shown from the way that I talk"
"I've been coming to where I am from the get-go Found that I can groove with the beat when I let go So put your worries on hold Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul"
"I wanna say a little something that's long overdue The disrespecting women has got to be through To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends I wanna offer my love and respect to the end"
"Bob Marley was a prophet for the freedom fight 'If dancing prays to the Lord then I will feel alright' I'm feeling good to play a little music Tears running down my face cuz I love to do it"
And before you start jumping all over me because the Beasties also wrote "Fight For Your Right (To Party)", and are responsible for the entire Liscensed to Ill album, why don't you borrow their anthology CD from the library and read their commentaries on that song, and the whole album, or otherwise find the story... it's quite hilarious. In basic, it was a joke that went too far. At any rate, these lyrics are from when they were older, and wiser.
