Triple Trouble Songtext
von Beastie Boys

If you [(if you)] wanna know [(wanna know)]
The real deal about the three
Well lemme tell you, we′re triple trouble y'all
We′re gonna bring you up to speed [(check it out)]

'Cause I'm a specializer, rhyme reviser
Ain′t sellin out to advertisers
What you get is whatcha see
And you won′t see me in the advertising

See I like to party, not drink Bacardi
'Cause I′m not lookin' to throw up on nobody
Known for my spiel, a wheelie one wheel
This is like havin′ a delicious meal

Well movin' the crowd, well that′s a must
I got some words that apply to us
And that's mesmerizin', tantalizin′
Captivatin′, and devastatin'


If you [(if you)] wanna know [(wanna know)]
The real deal about the three
Well lemme tell you, we′re triple trouble y'all
We′re gonna bring you up to speed [(check it out)]

Here's one for the bleachers and the upper tier
Versatile all temp-a-cheer
If you wanna drink, call Mr. Belvedere
Run this rap game like a brigadier

I got kicks on the one, seven and eleven
Snares on the five and thirteen
Rhymes on time and that′s the given
We're hot on the disco scene [(check it, check it)]

Slow down with I-me, got to stop stingein'
Source of the problem is at the origin
You′ve got lyrics that have got me cringein′
You're like a fish-wife, quit your damn whingein′

If you [(if you)] wanna know [(wanna know)]
The real deal about the three
Well lemme tell you, we're triple trouble y′all
We're gonna bring you up to speed [(check it out)]


Bam! Supernature Goddamn
Cerrone on the microphone I am
Ad-Rock a.k.a sharp cheddar
My rhymes are better

What the Helen of Troy is that?
Did I hear you say my rhymes is whack?
I′m beautiful, you can't touch me
If you pick a rose well you might just bleed

We're originators you can′t feign
Ignorance or pass the blame
Nuff rhymes coming out the brain
Nuff beats to drive you insane

Nuff moves to make your neck crane
Nuff skill to make the rhymes ingrain
Nuff heat to leave you in flames
Nuff style that you can′t defame

You see I walk like Jabba The Hutt
With the style so new y'all be like, ["What?"]
Turn the party out like a bon vivant
With the skill at will that I know you want

On a hot day with a iced latte
Devious like Wile Coyote
Hot to trot-ay or maybe not-ay
′Cause little did they know there was a baby in her body

We're mesmerizin′, tantalizin'
Captivatin′, devastatin'

If you [(if you)] wanna know [(wanna know)]
The real deal about the three
Well lemme tell you, we're triple trouble y′all
We′re gonna bring you up to speed [(check it out)]
