Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Because Mutiny on the Bounty's what we're all about
I'm gonna board your ship and turn it on out
No soft sucker with a parrot on his shoulder
'Cause I'm bad gettin' bolder, cold, cold gettin' colder
Terrorizin' suckers on the seven seas
And if you've got beef you'll get capped in the knees
We got sixteen men on a dead man's chest
And I shot those suckers and I'll shoot the rest
[Verse 2]
Most illin'est b-boy, I got that feelin'
'Cause I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'
[Verse 3]
Snatchin' gold chains, nickin' pieces of eight
I got your money and your honey and the fly name plate
We got wenches on the benches and bitties with titties
Housin' all girlies from city to city
One-for-all and all-for-one
Takin' out MC's with a big shotgun
All-for-one and one-for-all
Because the Beastie Boys have gone AWOL
Friggin' in the riggin' and cuttin' your throat
Big bitin' suckers gettin' thrown in the moat
We got maidens and wenches, man, they're on the ace
Captain Bligh is gonna die when we break his face
[Verse 4]
Most illin'est b-boy, well, I got that feelin'
I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'
[Verse 5]
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
[Verse 6]
Torchin' and crackin' and rhymin' and stealin'
Robbin' and rapin', bustin' two in the ceilin'
I'm wheelin', I'm dealin', I'm drinkin', not thinkin'
Never cower, never shower and I'm always stinkin'
Yo-ho-ho and a pint of Brass Monkey
And when my girlie shakes her hips she sure gets funky
Skirt chasin', free basin', killin' every village
We drink and rob and rhyme and pillage
[Verse 7]
Most illin'est b-boy, well, I got that feelin'
I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'
[Verse 8]
I was drinkin' my rum, a def son of a gun
"I fought the law" and I cold won
Blackbeard's weak, Moby Dick's on the chicks
'Cause I pull out the jammy and squeeze off six
My pistol is loaded, I shot Betty Crocker
Deliver Colonel Sanders down to Davey Jones' locker
Rhymin' and stealin' in a drunken state
And I'll be rockin' my rhymes all the way to Hell's gate
[Verse 9]
Most illin'est b-boy, I got that feelin'
And I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'
Most illin'est b-boy, I got that feelin'
I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'
[Verse 10]
Most illin'est b-boy, I got that feelin'
'Cause I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'
Most illin'est b-boy, I got that feelin'
I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'
[Verse 11]
Most chillinest b-boy
I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'
Most killin'est b-boy
I am most ill and I'm rhymin' and stealin'
Most dusted out b-boy
I tossin' my dust
Most fin'kiest b-boy
I'm doin' that finkin'
Most rhymin'est b-boy
I'm stretchin' my shade
Most shootin'est b-boy
I think you're shit
Most rhymin'est b-boy
I'll steal your shit, homeboy
Most taxin'est b-boy
I tax you, boy
Most illin'est, illin'est, illin'est, b-boy
Taxin' all y'all squares
Yeah
