Lyrics

Now I chill real ill when I start to chill
When I fill my pockets with a knot of dollar bills
Sipping pints of ale out the window sill
When I get my fill I'm chilly-chill
Now, I just got home because I'm out on bail
What's the time? It's time to buy ale
Peter-eater, parking meter, all of the time
If I run out of ale, it's Thunderbird wine
Miller-drinking, chicken-eating, dress so fly
I got friends in high places that are keeping me high
Get down with Mike D and it ain't no hassle
I got the ladies of the Eighties from here to White Castle
And now it's me, Adam Yauch, in the place to be
All the girls are on me 'cause I'm down with Mike D
I'm down with Mike D and it ain't no baloney
For real, not phony, O.E. and Rice-a-Roni
I come out at night 'cause I sleep all day
Well, I'm the King Ad-Rock and he's MCA
Well, I'm cruising, I'm bruising, I'm never ever losing
I'm in my car, I'm going far and dust is what I'm using
Around the way is where I'm from
And I'm from Manhattan and I'm not a bum
Because you're pud-slapping, ball-flapping, got that juice
My name's Mike D and I can do that Jerry Lewis
Hip-hopping, body-rocking, doing the do
Beer-drinking, breath stinking, sniffing glue
Belly-filling, always illing, busting caps
My name's Mike D and I write my own snaps
I'm a peep-show seeking on the Forty-Deuce
I'm a killer at large and I'm on the loose
Pistol-packing, Monkey-drinking, no money bum
I come from Brooklyn 'cause that's where I'm from
Cheapskate, perpetrating, money-hungry jerk
Every day I drink O.E. and I don't go to work
You drippy nose knucklehead, you're wet behind the ears
You like men and we like beers
King of the Ave with the def female
You're rhymin' and stealin' with the freshest ale
Kid cooling at the crib watching my TV
Ed Norton, Ted Knight and Mr. E-D
Pump it up homeboy, just don't stop
Chef Boyardee cooling on the pot
I take no slack 'cause I got the knack
I'm never dusting out 'cause I tossed that crack
The King Ad-Rock, that is my name
Y'all drinking Moët and we got the champagne
A quarter-dropping, going shopping, buying wigs
Surgeon general cut professor, DJ Thiggs
