Right Right Now Now Lyrics - To The 5 Boroughs - Beastie Boys

Now, once upon a time up on this mic 

MCs be really workin' on what they write 

With the sound delight, we rock all night 

And yes, we're gonna party for the right to fight 

We're international like Matt Takei 

Rock the mic from Munich out to Taipei 

Still around the way is where we'll stay 

Say what we mean, mean what we say 

Trajectories from the past are taking their toll and 

What we do now is future molding 

Columbine bowling, childhood stolen 

We need a bit more gun controlling 

Right (right) now (now) what is goin' on? 

We (we) gotta (gotta) get it goin' on 

Be (be) fore (fore) it's too far gone 

We gotta work together, it's been too long 

When I get on you scream "Hoo, tight!" 

Rockin' this flow I could go all night 

I'm not here to fight, or incite 

I'm like the beach in the Bahamas make you feel alright 

I'm getting kind of tired of the situation 

The US attacking other nations 

Anhiliations, on every station 

False election's got me losing my patience 

Well, I'm a funky-ass Jew and I'm on my way, and 

I got to say fuck the KKK, and 

Oh, yeah hey, how about today? 

If you want to set it off then let me hear you say 

Right (right) now (now) what is goin' on? 

We (we) gotta (gotta) get it goin' on 

Be (be) fore (fore) it's too far gone 

We gotta work together, it's been too long 

I went to get a loan and they asked my race 

I wrote down human inside the space 

It's a disgrace how they try to debase 

It ain't the bank's damn business how my lineage trace 

Now let me drop a verse that's terse and concise 

I'm an iron chef when I slice and dice 

With the rhyme precise, the word is nice 

So please pass me the Reunite on ice 

Well let's go to work and not berserk 

'Cause when the time comes the body goes to dirt 

Try to smooth it out like Levert 

Keep the mind alert and not revert 

Right (right) now (now) what is goin' on? 

We (we) gotta (gotta) get it goin' on 

Be (be) fore (fore) it's too far gone 

We gotta work together, it's been too long
