Check It Out
Beastie Boys feat. by WhiteAxxxe-n-subspace Lyrics

All you Trekkies and TV addicts
Calling out to fans of Star Trek and television in general

Don't mean to diss don't mean to bring static
Not trying to insult or cause trouble

All you Klingons in your grandma's house
Addressing hardcore Star Trek fans, possibly living with their grandmothers

Grab your backstreet friend and get loud
Get your ally and make some noise

Blowin' doors off hinges
Causing a stir or making an impact

I'll grab you with the pinchers
Getting a hold of someone

And no, I didn't retire
Assuring everyone that they're not done yet

I'll snatch you up with the needle-nose pliers
Using any means necessary to achieve their goals

Like Mutual of Omaha
An analogy to a famous insurer, suggesting they have something new and exciting to show

With the ill boat you've never seen before
Introducing something new and amazing

Glidin' in the glades
Moving smoothly through the wilderness

And like Lorne Greene you know I get paid
Referencing a famous actor and getting paid for what they do

Like Caprese and with the basil
Comparing themselves to a popular Italian dish

Not goofy like Darren or Hazel
Not being silly or foolish like certain TV characters

I'm a motherfuckin' "Nick at night"
Comparing themselves to a popular TV channel that plays classic shows in the evening

With classics rerunning that you know all right
Offering familiar and loved content

Now remain calm, no alarm, 'cause my farm ain't fat
Staying level-headed because they're not rich or complacent

So what's up with that?
Asking what the problem is

I've got friends and family that I respect
Acknowledging their loved ones

When I think I'm too good they put me in check
Allowing criticism and correction from loved ones

So believe when I say I'm no better than you
Admitting that they are not superior to others

Except when I rap so I guess it ain't true
Jokingly saying that they are better in one aspect, when rapping

Like that y'all and you just don't stop
Encouraging everyone to keep going and not give up

Guaranteed to make your body rock
Promising to provide something that will make people dance

Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
Calling for attention and hype

What-wha-what-what-what's it all about?
Asking what exactly is going on

Work-wa-work-work-work-wa-work it out
Urging everyone to keep moving and dancing

Let's turn this, turn this party out
Making the party even better through their music

Said, Doc what's the condition?
Talking to someone about their predicament

I'm a man that's on a mission
Determined to achieve their goal

Said, son, you'd better listen
Receiving advice from someone wiser

Stuck in your (what?) is an electrician
Making a pun about being stuck in a bad situation, like a faulty electrical connection

Like a scientist
Approaching problems logically and methodically

When I'm applying this
When using a certain method or approach

Method of controlling my mind
Taking control over their own thoughts

Like Einstein and the rappin' Duke combined
Comparing themselves to two greats, implying their intelligence and skill

Now, hey, baby bubba now what the deal?
Asking what's going on

I didn't know you go for that mass appeal
Surprised to know that someone likes popular things

Some call it salugi, some hot potato
Referring to something that has different names or interpretations

I stole your mic and you won't see it later
Boasting that they are in control and have taken something from someone else

'Cause I work magic like a magician
Suggesting that they have a unique talent and can do things others can't

I add up like a mathematician
Being logical and precise

I'm a bank cashier, engineer
Using different skills and talents

I wear cotton but I don't wear sheer
Preferring more practical clothing

Shazam and abracadabra
Exclaiming with surprise or satisfaction

In the whip I'm gonna cruise past ya
Driving past someone in their car

Yo, money, don't chump yourself
Advising someone not to make a bad decision or action

Put that (what?) back on the shelf
Telling someone to stop doing something, or put something away

Light rays blazin'
Creating a vivid visual image, possibly referencing success or glory

You're out of phase, and my crew's amazin'
Implying that someone is behind or not doing something right, while they are performing exceptionally well

We're working on the record yo, so just stay patient
Assuring fans that they are working on new music, and to wait for it

Now, I go by the name of the King Adrock
Introducing themselves

I don't wear a cup nor a jock
Not needing protection, being confident

I bring the shit that's beyond bizarre
Offering something that is unique and unmatched

Like Miss Piggy, who moi?
Humorously comparing themselves to a famous TV character

I am the one with the clientele
Having a fanbase or group of loyal customers

Who say, Adrock, you rock so well
Getting positive feedback and compliments from fans

I've got class like pink champale
Being sophisticated and refined, comparing themselves to a popular drink

MCA grab the mic before the mic goes stale
Letting their fellow bandmate perform

Don't test me they can't arrest me
Challenging someone to try and stop them

I'll fake right, cross-over and shoot lefty
Being nimble and able to outsmart others

You look upset, yo, calm down
Noticing someone is angry and telling them to relax

You look like cable guy dunked off of your crown
Insulting someone's appearance or being overly critical of them

I flow like smoke out a chimney
Being fluid and graceful, while also being hard to catch

You never been me
Being unique and special

You want to rap but what you're making ain't Hip-Hop, B
Challenging someone's skills or style in rap music

Now, get your clothes right out the dryer
Prepping to go out on a night on the town

Put Armor-All up on your tire
Polishing and caring for one's belongings

Sport that fresh attire
Wearing new and stylish clothes

Tonight we goin' out set the town on fire
Going out and having fun, possibly causing a stir

Set the town ablaze, gonna stun and amaze
Making a big impression and being unforgettable

Ready to throw a craze
Eager to cause excitement or enthusiasm

Make your granny shake her head and say "those were the days"
Having an impact that crosses generations
