Jimmy James Songtext
von Beastie Boys

This next one is the first song on our new album

People how you doin′, there's a new day dawnin′
For the Earth Mother, it's a brand new mornin'
For such a long while, there′s been such a longin′
But now the sun is shinin', let′s roll back the awnin'


This is a type of kinda like a formal dedication
Givin′ out a shout for much inspiration
All I ever really want to do is get nice
Get loose and goof a little slice of life
Sendin' out love to all corners of the land
I jump up on the stage and take the mic in my hand
I′m not playin' the role, just being who I am
And if you try to diss me, I couldn't give a damn
′Cause I′m rockin'

Bass from the back of my car feels soothin′
Eight bazookas is what I'm usin′
I'm Mike D, and it′s been proven
I love it when I see the party people just movin'
Strapped on my ear goggles and what did I see?
But the music brought the people into harmony
