Year And A Day - Beastie Boys

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 AM 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 M.C. 
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 a bard but not the last one 
I'm my own 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 the mindfuck 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 The 
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 with 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
