Putting Shame In Your Game
Beastie Boys Lyrics

Beastie Beastie Beastie Beastie Boys gettin' live on the spot
The Beastie Boys are performing live and present in the moment.

Puttin' all kinds of shame in the game you got
The Beastie Boys are bringing their own unique style and energy to the game, making others feel ashamed in comparison.

We keep the party movin' to the broad day light
The Beastie Boys continue to keep the party going from night into the day.

G-E-T-L-I-V-E alright
They urge everyone to get live and participate fully in the experience.

Trans-hypnotic robotic can't stop it
Their style and energy is mesmerizing and unstoppable.

No limits to this style you know you can't lock it
Their style is unlimited and impossible to confine or restrict.

First you mock it, rock it and then you stock it
At first their style may be ridiculed or dismissed but eventually it will be embraced and imitated.

But I've got the styles that are always in the pocket
Their style is always on point and consistent.

Like a bird floating down on a New York breeze
Their style seems effortless and natural, like a bird soaring in the air.

Every thought in the mind is a planted seed
Every thought can have a powerful impact on one's life and surroundings.

So watch the mind or the thoughts will stack
It's important to be mindful of one's thoughts, as they can accumulate and have a profound effect.

Before you know it they're boomeranging on back
Negative thoughts can come back to haunt you if you're not careful.

Well I'm the king of Boogle there is none higher
The Beastie Boys are at the top of their game and no one can surpass them.

I get eleven points off the word 'quagmire'
Even in a word game, the Beastie Boys are skilled and creative.

Fools can't see me and that's how it is
Their talent and skill is not always recognized or appreciated by everyone.

And that's how I like it and that's my biz
The Beastie Boys are content to stay true to themselves and their music, even if it's not widely popular.

Time's an illusion as the moments race by
The passage of time can feel both fleeting and arbitrary.

Too fast to really grasp though we may try
Despite efforts to slow down and savor moments, time tends to slip away unpredictably.

Deny, till we die, ooh my my
People may deny the reality of time until they die, realizing too late how precious it is.

These thoughts that mislead and then multiply
Negative or inaccurate thoughts can quickly become overwhelming and pervasive.

Second by second and minute by minute
Time passes slowly and persistently, even in small increments.

'It's like lotto you gotta be' 'in it to win it'
Some opportunities require participation in order to succeed, much like a lottery.

Shakin' mind breakin' on their own demise
People can be their own worst enemies, causing their own downfall through fear, anxiety, or other factors.

Lies tax to the max and they'll be feelin' those vibes
Deception can take a toll on an individual, causing spiritual or emotional harm.

So tell me what you need that you have got
People should be content with what they have, rather than constantly craving more.

Fiending on power will make your blood clot
An insatiable desire for power can be detrimental to one's well-being.

It starts with the greed and then goes all wrong
Greed can be the catalyst for many negative outcomes.

That's why we can't all just get along
Differences in values, beliefs, and desires often create conflict and division among people.

We're all connected like a Lego set
Despite differences, humans are all interdependent and interconnected in some way.

One equaling one together like a croquette
Working together as one can create something greater and more fulfilling than separate parts.

Whether we have or have not yet met
Even strangers are connected in some way.

Well, it ain't no thing and it ain't no sweat
Connecting with others and working together is easy and not a burden.

You're caught in a panic and it's rattled your brain
Fear and anxiety can be paralyzing and cause mental distress.

The selfish ways just can't maintain
Selfishness is not a sustainable or fulfilling way to live.

But these are the breaks when you try and come fake
Trying to be someone you're not will lead to disappointment and failure.

Don't come with the rhymes that you just half baked
Half-hearted efforts will not be received warmly or with respect.

Well I'm the Benihana chef on the SP12
The Beastie Boys are skilled and talented creators, like a chef in a kitchen.

I chop the fuck out the beats left on the shelf
They're able to take existing beats and transform them into something exciting and new.

You be like 'Hello Nasty, where you been?'
Their music is unique and not always easily understood or appreciated by everyone.

It's time you brought the grimy beats out the dungeon
They urge themselves and other creators to push the boundaries and challenge conventional expectations.

I jumped outside the house with my Walkman on
Their music is energizing and inspiring, enough to make someone dance outside their own home.

I get so hyped when I hear this song
Their music is inspiring and energizing, driving people to action.

It's gonna keep me happy like all day long
Their music brings joy and satisfaction, enough to last all day.

So go and talk shit cause it just makes me strong
Negative comments or criticism only makes them more motivated and energized to create.

Don't grease my palms with your filthy cash
They're not motivated by money or financial gain, and reject those who offer it.

Multinationals spreading like a rash
They're critical of the corporate, capitalist mindset that values profit over creativity or artistry.

I might stick around or I might be a fad
They're uncertain about their musical career or legacy, but are content to embrace the present moment.

But I won't sell my songs for no TV ad
Their music is not for sale, and they refuse to compromise their values or artistic integrity for commercial gain.
