And Then I - Beastie Boys

Grabbed the beat, looped it up

Saw my check, scooped it up

Rock ignition, got to listen

Change position, start transmission

Point the camera, click the frame

Use a high asa, I like the grain

Flip the script, start to trip

Grabbed my hip, did the dip

Rent the car, go upstate

Hit the waterfall, jump in a lake

Step in the place, move the crowd

Cut the snake, walked right out

Another day slips by

Got to fix the mind

I’ve got the mind maligned

With I mean mine

Got to turn it around

Got to give back

Because this self-centered thing is keeping me off track

Take the one train, ride the double L

Go to Brooklyn, rock well

Jump the gun, call your bluff

Break the mold, a diamond in the rough

Ran the floor, grabbed a rock

Spot it up, shot the shot

Go pet Sam, said, «get off me»

Check the machine, «Adam this is coffee»

Brace myself, trace myself

Pace myself, lace myself

Check the mirror, start to melt

Jump back, kiss myself

Another day slips by

Got to fix the mind

I’ve got the mind maligned

With I mean mine

Got to turn it around

Got to give back

Because this self-centered thing is keeping me off track

Hug my Lois, brush her teeth

Read her books, put her to sleep

Pack her lunch, drop her at school

Head to the studio, turn on the pro-tools

Apple C, Apple V

Drop the beat, hit delete

Hit record, smorgasbord

Draw my sword, jump aboard

Grab the phone, call my dad

Shared some love, felt so glad

Went and called Freckles, and I told her I love her

Ran home, got under the covers

Another day slips by

Got to fix the mind

I’ve got the mind maligned

With I mean mine

Got to turn it around

Got to give back

Because this self-centered thing is keeping me off track
