[D.M.C.] I'm the king of ROCK, there is none HIGHER s**er MC's should call me SIRE To burn my kingdom, you must use FIRE I won't stop rockin' 'til I retire [Run] Now we rock the party and come correct Our cuts are on time and rhymes connect Got the right to vote and will elect And other rappers can't stand us, BUT GIVE US RESPECT!! Yo Dee...do me a favor...Tell 'em Dee... [D.M.C.] Now just throw your hands in the sky And wave 'em from side to side And if you wanna have fun with Dee (AND RUN!) Somebody say, ALRIGHT ("ALRIGHT!") ALRIGHT ("ALRIGHT!") Say HOOOOOOO!! ("HOOOOOO!!") HOOOOOOO!! ("HOOOOOO!!") One time...two time...aiyyo Run, let's get at 'em! [Run] They called us ill (we're gettin iller) There's no (one chiller) It's not (Michael) JACKSON, and this is not "Thriller" As one def rapper, I know I can hang I'm Run from Run-D.M.C., like Kool from Kool and the Gang [D.M.C.] Roll to the rock, rock to the roll D.M.C. stands for DEVASTATING Mic Con-TROL You can't touch me with a ten foot pole And I even made the devil sell me his SOUL [Run] You know what? I think like a war or somethin...(WHY?) [Run-D.M.C.] 'Cause we crash through walls, cut through floors Bust through CEILINGS and knock down doors And when we're on the tape, we're fresh out the box You can hear our sound, for blocks and blocks For every living person, we're a ?purple treat? It's me and D.M.C., Jay where's the BEAT?! [Run] They act like, they don't know over here, Dee Can I tell y'all sumthin? (Yeah, what are we, Run?) [Run-D.M.C.] Now we're the baddest of the bad, the coolest of the cool I'm D.M.C., I rock and roll, I'm DJ Run, I rock and rule It's not a Trick or Treat, and it's not a April Fool It's all brand new, never ever old SCHOOL! [Run] Y'know they act like, they don't wanna party, y'know wa**up man? (Wa**up man?) Y'know somethin? (What they got?) [Run-D.M.C.] You got the music in your body and you can't comprehend When your MIND won't wiggle and your knees will bend Music ain't nothin but a people's jam It's DJ Run-D.M.C. rockin without a BAND! [D.M.C.] As it is plain to see, we have no band Just Jam Master Jay (TELL 'EM DEE!) Now I walked on ice and never fell I spent my time in a plush hotel I stood on many stages, held many mics Take airplane flights, at huge heights [Run] So all you s**er MC's, you gotta say PLEASE (Cause when he jumps high) I'm pullin down weeds Got a song so strong, it's knockin down trees Is it hard to believe it's Run-D.M.C.!! [Run] Yo Dee...(yeah wa**up?) Do you live out here? (Naw man, I'm from Hollis, Queens) (As a matter of fact...) WHERE YOU FROM? (Yo..) [D.M.C.] I am from, around the way And Run goes to school, every day And Jay plays the records he has to play And we get down with no delay, HEY! I rock the party with the words I speak And Run says the rhymes that are unique And Jay cuts the records every day of the week And we are the crew that could never be beat So don't try to diss me, try to be my friend Cause if you do, you'll get yours in the end The rhymes we say, (shall set a trend) Because a devastating rap (is what we send!) [Jam Master Jay] Now I want everybody to put their hands up like my man D.M.D [Run] Like +D.M.C.+ ({?}) [Run-D.M.C.] C'mon! Put your hands in the air! Everywhere! [Run] Like this! Every jam we play, we break two needles There's three of us but we're not the BEATLES! [D.M.C.] My name is Darryl (you can call him Dee) You can call me Darryl Mac (or you can call him D.M.C.) People always ask, ("D.M.C., what does it mean?") D's for never Dirty, MC for Mostly Clean [Run-D.M.C.] But sometimes I tell 'em, when certain people ask That D.M.C. means, that Darryl Makes Cash! You know what I'm sayin? Twenties and tens...like what? [Run-D.M.C.] Like we said before, we rock hardcore I'm DJ Run, I can scratch, I'm D.M.C., I can draw And now we got the knack, to attract Our rhyme's an aphrodisiac We'll reign on your brain and rock your KNOT When it comes to rock, give it all we got To be MC's, we got what it takes Let the poppers pop and the breakers break We're cool cool cats, It's Like THAT! That's the way it is, so stay the hell back! We're causin Hard Times, for s**er MC's Cause they don't make no songs like these PERIOD! [*crowd cheers*]
