Beastie Boys - It Takes Time To Build Lyrics
If you don't like the news then press eject
Baby Davis getting older can't take a rain check
It's time to let'em know what we expect
Stop building SUV's strung out on OPEC
Hold up wait up you know we come correct
It's easier to sit back than stick out your neck
It's easier to break things than build it correct
We've got a president we didn't elect
The Kyoto treaty he decided to neglect
And still the US just wants to flex
Keep doin' that wop we gonna break our necks
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
You gots to chill
Hate filled people wanna keep us in check
Tearin' down each other is what they expect
If you want love well hey that's a bet
We've got to give before we can get
Waiting like a batter who is on deck
When it's time to wreck shop then shop I'll wreck
So let's calibrate and check our specs
We need a little shift on over towards the left
I don't really know but I suspect
I think it's due time that we inspect
How they get their information and their facts are checked
Another press conference someone's talking out their neck
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
You gots to chill
So step up to the window and place your bets
Is the US gonna keep breaking necks
Maybe it's time that we impeach Tex
And the military muscle that he wants to flex
By the time Bush is done what will be left
Selling votes like E-pills at the discotheque
Environmental destruction and the national dept
But plenty of dollars left in the fat war chest
What the real deal why you can't connect
Why you hating people that you never met
Didn't your mama teach you to show some respect?
Why not open your mind for a sec?
It takes a second to wreck it
It takes time to build
You gots to chill

"Baby Davis"
coldest shit on the whole album
Remember if you don't understand the message: insert REPUBLICAN for MUTANT.
A Republican is very dangerous to you because he fly's faster then you do and shoots at you!
🤗
"We go a president we didn't elect!" Woooooooo!!!!! Come on son!!!!!!!
Love the Beasties so much!
>>>-----BEASTIE BOYS------>
Most musicians are liberals. But there good at what they do, so whatever I guess!!!
I've seen americans say "liberals" in every sentence possible, with every meaning possible. You just use the word without knowing shit. Stop using it.
I waited for all these albums to come out later on in their career.they were making em once every 6 years,hotsause too.
That beat!i love this album too.all their albums.epmd too
This album turned me into a Beastie Boys fan. Best fucking beats.
song is very relevant again , great song
"We got a president we didn't elect!" WHOOOOHOOOO!!!!!
Strangely, The only Republican presidential candidate to have a majority of the popular vote since Reagan's second term was W. Bush's second term which that election was the year this album was released.
Oh, the days when our president was just dumb. Now we have a stupid, racist, belligerent asshole.
@Joseph Martinage i mean, have you seen reagan? he was just as shitty, but he was able to hide it.
@Skele-boi, Prince of Skulls He was still leagues better than the current atrocity
dafuq,.listen this &'nd cum! Best shit ever heard
lets dance smooth
12 years after this album came out and look at the current state of the US. Can you imagine what Adam Yauch would have to say about this upcoming election? Gawd I miss him...... #RIPMCA 😢
kila11 I grew up on this album
Times are insane RIP MCA
Man i remember as a kid i had would play the shit out of this cd in my walkman player in 2005. Times fuckin fly and this album was truly an underrated GEM. RIP ADAM.
Same. My friends would know not to talk to me if I was listening to my walkman. No one disrupts the beastie boys!
my friend bought me the cd but my dad said i could only listen to the clean version and bought me that. i swapped the disks that night and never looked back
TrueGamerOpinion love this album!
september 11 takes times to build
Heyyyyyy.... do a youtube search for "time to build rare" and listen to my remix.
u are so rite
Man... "To the 5 Boroughs" is one the best albums ever! Forget about it.
And man... FUCK cancer! You take away so many people I love...RIP MCA!!
real rap right here... beastie boys, best rap group ever !
R.I.P. MCA
this song is such a hidden gem !!
actually, 5 boroughs was full of them. just a great album.
No doubt. Solid.
Hands down their best album, for me. And it was a smart hip hop album with social and political claims, unlike 90% of what it was and still is produced which is all about bling, whores and money.
@10InchSnow so are some other dope rappers like Kool Keith that are dope!
@AlcoholRabbit So true.
@10InchSnow
Ha, they are still better than most Rap artists out there half their age.
