Fight For Your Right To Party
NYCC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wake up late for school, man, you don't wanna go
You ask your mom, "Please?", but she still says, "No!"
You missed two classes and no homework
But your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk
You gotta fight
For your right
To party
To party
To party
Your pops caught you smoking and he says, "No way!"
That hypocrite smokes two packs a day
Man, livin' at home is such a drag
Now, your mom threw away your best porno mag
You gotta fight
For your right
To party
To party
To party
To party
Don't step out of this house if that's the clothes you're gonna wear
I'll kick you out of my home if you don't cut that hair
Your mom busted in and said, "What's that noise?"
Oh mom, you're just jealous it's the Beastie Boys
You gotta fight
For your right
To party
To party
To party
To party
To party
To party
To party
To party
The lyrics to NYCC's song "Fight for Your Right to Party" tell the story of a rebellious teenager who is constantly being denied the freedom to have a good time. The song opens with the singer waking up late for school and trying to convince his mom to let him skip, but she refuses. As a result, he misses classes and homework, but his teacher still treats him poorly. Frustrated with his lack of freedom, he declares that he will fight for his right to party.
The next verse reveals that the teenager's father catches him smoking, despite being a smoker himself. Living at home becomes a burden, especially when his mother throws away his favorite adult magazine. Despite these conflicts, the teenager remains determined to fight for his right to party.
The final verse takes a humorous twist as the singer is confronted by his mother about the noise he's making. He responds by telling her that she's just jealous because the noise is coming from the Beastie Boys, the iconic rap group known for their rebellious and party-driven music. The song ends with a final declaration to fight for the right to party, emphasizing the importance of freedom and enjoyment in the face of authority.
Overall, "Fight for Your Right to Party" captures the rebellious spirit and desire for independence that many teenagers experience. It portrays the tension between generations and the constant struggle to push boundaries and push for personal freedom.

@@GiGZA Oh yes this RunDMC sound was very popular in 1997/1998 in the European Countries. A lot of songs had a base and sound like this in that time. Great songs for making party.
