Jahba vs. Beastie Boys Lyrics

All you Trekkies and TV addicts
Addressing the culture that consumes sci-fi and television shows.

Don't mean to diss don't mean to bring static
Not trying to offend anyone or cause a disruption.

All you Klingons in the fucking house
Calling out Star Trek's Klingon characters specifically.

Grab your backstreet friend and get loud
Taking a friend and making noise together.

Blowin' doors off hinges
Making a big impact.

I'll grab you with the pinchers
Physically taking control of the situation.

And no, I didn't retire
Not stepping down or giving up.

I'll snatch you up with the needle-nose pliers
Using a tool to grab and control someone, not physically hurting them.

Like Mutual of Omaha
Comparing themselves to a well-known insurance company.

With the ill boat you've never seen before
With something new and exciting.

Glidin' in the glades
Traveling somewhere specific, but not directly stated where.

And like Lorne Greene you know I get paid
Referencing a Canadian actor, insinuating they also have money.

Like Caprese and with the basil
Comparing themselves to a specific salad dish.

Not goofy like Darren or Hazel
Not silly or foolish like these TV characters.

I'm a motherfuckin' "Nick at night"
Referencing the TV channel dedicated to old shows and movies played overnight.

With classics rerunning that you know all right
Playing well-known and nostalgic TV shows and movies.

Now remain calm, no alarm, 'cause my farm ain't fat
Stating there's nothing to worry about and that they aren't wealthy.

So what's up with that?
Asking a rhetorical question about the current situation.

I've got friends and family that I respect
Valuing those close to them.

When I think I'm too good they put me in check
Being kept grounded and humble by those around them.

So believe when I say I'm no better than you
Stating they're just like everyone else.

Except when I rap so I guess it ain't true
Acknowledging that their talent sets them apart from others.

Like that y'all and you just don't stop
An energetic catchphrase to keep the energy going.

Guaranteed to make your body rock
Promising to make the listener dance and move to the beat.

Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out
Encouraging the listener to listen closely and pay attention.

What-wha-what-what-what's it all about?
Asking a rhetorical question about the song's meaning and message.

Work-wa-work-work-work-wa-work it out
Encouraging the listener to dance and move their body to the music.

Let's turn this muthafucking party out
Encouraging everyone to dance and have fun at the party.

Said, Doc what's the condition?
Asking a question to someone referred to as 'Doc'.

I'm a man that's on a mission
Asserting their confidence and determination.

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

Stuck in your ass is an electrician
Making a joke about being shocked by an electrician or feeling like they're being controlled.

Like a scientist
Comparing themselves to a scientist, indicating that they're smart and analytical.

When I'm applying this
Using their knowledge to their advantage.

Method of controlling my mind
Taking control of their thoughts and decisions.

Like Einstein and the Rappin' Duke combined
Comparing themselves to two famous people, indicating they're clever and entertaining.

Now, hey, baby bubba now what the deal?
Addressing someone specific with a playful nickname, asking what's going on.

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

Some call it salugi, some hot potato
Referring to pop culture with playful terms.

I stole your mic and you won't see it later
Taking control of the situation and playfully taunting someone for losing their chance to speak.

'Cause I work magic like a magician
Doing something amazing, like a magician's magic tricks.

I add up like a mathematician
Having intelligence and the ability to calculate math problems.

I'm a bank cashier, engineer
Listing off different professions they could have.

I wear cotton but I don't wear sheer
Wearing comfortable clothing but not revealing or flashy.

Shazam and abracadabra
Using fun words to describe surprising moments or magic tricks.

In the whip I'm gonna cruise past ya
Driving away in a vehicle.

Yo, money, don't chump yourself
An instructive phrase to not sell oneself short or underestimate oneself.

Put that shit back on the shelf
Not wanting someone to use drugs or alcohol.

Light rays blazin'
Light shining bright, as if coming from flames.

You're out of phase, and my crew's amazin'
Feeling better than someone else who doesn't quite fit with their group of friends.

We're working on the record yo, so just stay patient
Working on a new record and asking fans to be patient for it to be released.

Now, I go by the name of the King Adrock
Introducing themselves with a fun and confident nickname.

I don't wear a cup nor a jock
Not needing protection for sports or physical activity.

I bring the shit that's beyond bizarre
Bringing something unusual or unexpected.

Like Miss Piggy, who moi?
Referencing a famous Muppet character and asking 'who?' in a playful way.

I am the one with the clientele
Having a group of people who appreciate and support them.

Who say, Adrock, you rock so well
Getting positive feedback from those who appreciate their music.

I've got class like pink champale
Having good taste and sophistication, like a specific brand of champagne.

MCA grab the mic before the mic goes stale
Encouraging MCA to take control of the microphone and entertain, before the music and energy fades away or becomes stale.

Don't test me they can't arrest me
Confidently stating that no one can hold them back or stop them.

I'll fake right, cross-over and shoot lefty
Using basketball terms to describe being unpredictable and surprising 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 and humorously comparing them to a movie character.

I flow like smoke out a chimney
Describing their smooth and steady flow of words like smoke rising out of a chimney.

You never been me
Challenging someone to try to be like them, knowing it's not possible.

You want to rap but what you're making ain't hip-hop, B
Saying that what someone else makes isn't true hip-hop and doesn't compare to their own music.

Now, get your clothes right out the dryer
Getting ready to go out and putting on clothes straight from the dryer.

Put Armor-All up on your tire
Polishing and preparing their car for a night out with friends.

Sport that fresh attire
Dressing nicely and proudly showing off their new clothes.

Tonight we goin' out set the town on fire
Going out to party and have a great time, hoping to make an impact on the town and its people.

Set the town ablaze, gonna stun and amaze
Being dramatic and poetic about how much fun they'll have and how great they'll be.

Ready to throw a craze
Preparing themselves to have a wild and crazy night.

Make your granny shake her head and say "those were the days"
Having such a good time that even someone's grandmother would be amazed and reminded of their youth.
