This track is a portion of B-Boy Bouillabaisse, taken from the 1989 album "Paul's Boutique" on Capitol Records.
M.C. for what I am and do
the "A." is for Adam and the lyrics; true
so as pray and hope and the message is sent
and I'm living in the dreams that I have dreamt
because I'm down with the three the unstoppable three
me and Adam and D. were born to emcee
and my body and soul and mind are pure
not polluted or diluted or damaged beyond cure
just lyrics from I to you recited
arrested, bailed but cuffed and indicted
enter the arena as I take center stage
the lights set low and the night has come of age
take the microphone in hand as that I am a professional
speak my knowledge to the crowd and the Ed. is special
for I am the bard and I am the last one
I'm am the king and this is my castle
dwell in realms of now but vidi those of the past
seen a glimpse from ahead and I don't think it's gonna last
and you can bet your ass
I drop the L. when I'm skiing
I'm smoking and peaking
I put the skis on the roof almost every single weekend
can't stop my mindfuckin' when it's rolling along
can't stop the smooth runnin's when the shit's running strong
broke my bindings the lion with wings
preaching his word in the B. Boy sing
I am one with myself as I turn to Thee
I prefer the dreams to reality
I prefer my life don't need no other man's wife
don't need no crazy lifestyle with stress and strife
but it's good to have turn to be a king for a day
or for a week or for a year or for a year in a day
come what may
I'm fishing in my boat and I'm fishing for trout
mix the Bass Ale with the Guiness Stout
fishing for a line inside my brain
and looking out at the world through my window pane
every day has many colors cuz the glass is stained
everything has changed but remains the same
so once again the mirror raised and I see myself as clear as day
and I am going to the limits of my ultimate destiny
feeling as though somebody were testing me
He who sees the end from the beginning of time
looking forward through all the ages
is, was, and always shall be
check the prophetic sections of the pages
E.Z. Mike with the Disco Dave
Most people pick Car Thief as the best track on the album, but this was always my favorite. Those lyrics, mystical urban acid b-boy poetry. RIP MCA
I just heard the story from Ad-Rock that when they were recording the album, MCA bought an old pilot's helmet with a microphone which was busted. He fixed up the mic and attached a long cable to hook it up to his equipment and recorded this track in his apartment wearing the helmet! :))
same here I'm watching this right after watching that lol
I saw that story too, they were talking at Capital Records for the 25th anniversary of Paul’s Boutique. I love that story and it makes you think about all the cool things that MCA probably did during recording sessions.
One of the best and most engaging TRACKS OF THE ALBUM MCA WAS TOP NOTCH THIS STILL IS BETTER THAN MOST SONGS TODAY!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
I heard that when this album was released it received terrible reviews from critics but is now considered one of the greatest albums of all time.
I often wondered if MCA ever went solo, how CRAZYYY his projects would be ??..............*word*.
reeelup007BKNY reeelup007BKNY I always wondered the same, kinda goes out for the other 2...like if they all went solo! imagine?
Come what may.
track is unbelievable.
I bought this album the week it came out and literally wrecked my tape by constantly rewinding it just to play this one track back again and again...
#RIPMCA
2020 and I'm standing on Flatbush and Atlantic Aves. (BROOKLYN) and I'm STILL BANGING THIS ULTRA CLASSIC.....
Damn, I could practice these lyrics for months on end and would have a hell of time keeping up w this. Love the tempo of this. Classic old school jam.
Thank you guys, for just being here for decades. In 2040 people will still drop license to ill.😂❤
Thanks for this.
MCA is a true lyricist and brings the heat on this joint. RIP MCA...
#ripmca i absolutely love this song. mca has always been my favorite and this song is pretty good
Amazing.... Paul's Boutique is in my top 3 records ever hip hop or non-such, great video, love seeing the cover artwork amplified like that, and what can be said about the immortal Adam Yauch
Well done man, great job, on a timeless song, stellar tribute
Thanx
mroc7113 top 3 for me too
Who’s still rockin’ this in 2019? Most rope tribute to MCA and Paul’s Boutique.
BEST GODDAMMED BEASTIE ALBUM..PERIOD..
Excellent video. #RIPMCA
I never knew that was MCA on the cover. and I've had the album for 30 years, had to pull it out and take a look you can make out Ad-rock and Mike D but no way on MCA can't see his face at all
HELLO BROOKLYN!!!!!!!
Break my Bindings, the Lion with WINGS, bitches. So once again, the Mirror raised, and I see myself AS CLEAR AS FUCKING DAY...
This is great. RIP MCA.
One of my favorites... so fast paced that its hard to learn the words. I never knew they were pictured on the cover till now. Wow. Love this!
Just found this today. Always wondered what the lyrics were.
MCA, thank you for sharing your light with us my brother!
Thanx for posting...Great video.
Best video on RUclips, excellent work #RIPMCA you sure are missed Namaste 🙏🏻
Thanks for putting this together! Loved it.
awsome tune....
5 August 2017. MCA Day. RIP Adam.
this is djaying!
4 Years Ago today #RIPMCA
One hour version?
Paul’s Boutique was the strangest release out of nowhere! These guys were huge and then disappeared. Only to come out with this waaay late after the first album. It never got much recognition but it was always my favorite! Every track is killer
excellent quality! Thanks!
Holy shot I never knew they were hidden in he photos I Had the tape when it came out
good job on those lyrics, I always could only understand just a bit of them....
happy birthday yauch
MCA had no equal
eternamente em nossos corações
I completely agree with mroc7113 on everything. "Paul's Boutique is in my top 3 records ever in hip hop or non-such" and this is one of my favourite tracks. I too believe t's the best video on RUclips not only for creativity, originality and good taste, but because it makes me enjoy details I hadn't noticed and moves me deeply.
Nicely done
Thank you! Cheers!
Totally dig it. RIP MCA.
Always wanted to confirm these lyrics, I was way off on a lot of the lines lol 🙏🏾
"mix the bass ale with the guiness stout!" that's at 1.31! not sure why no one mentioned that here?
Oh whoa a Lester Bangs reference
MCA took the photo too..way before 360/panoramic photography was a thing
well he was in the photos so I guess an assistant operated the camera.
Is that guitar originally by BB or is it sample? If so what´s the original?
Isley Brothers " That Lady "
Kendrick....
montageofheck they came first
