LYRICS FOR "Slow and Low"

Let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo

It's never old school, all brand new
So every body catch the bugaloo flu
Not like a fever not like a cold
The beats are clear the rhymes are bold

So don't see a doctor or see a nurse
Just listen to the music, first things first
First of all get off the wall
It's time to party so have a ball

We slowed it on down so get the hell up
Like a volcano, I'll erupt
We got determination base and highs
White Castle fries only come in one size
What you see is what you get
And you ain't seen nothing yet

So, let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo

I do not sing but I make a def song
You could live your whole life and I hope you live long
On the gong show we won't get gonged
We're the Beastie Boys not Cheech and Chong

Strong as an ox fresh out the box
The crowd is so live they're coming in flocks
And when we go on the crowd goes off
It's all hard rock there's nothing soft

Let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo

So, let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo

We don't only rock the house but all house we rock
We don't stroll but we roll straight to the top
MCA, Adrock, Mike D. makes three
And we can do it like this in the place to be

When I'm recorded you'll be rewarded
I know my song is def 'cause you all applauded
Not PCP or LSD just me Mike D.
In the place to be
This is not free you must pay a fee
Cash on delivery like a C.O.D.

So, let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo

The beat is slow in order to dance
I wanna hear I do's and no I can'ts
First you move your legs and then your arms
It's not fast and nervous this dance is calm
It's truly stable and you ought to be able
To dance to the record when it's on the turntable

So, let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo

Let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
Let it flow
Let yourself go
Slow and low that is the tempo
