Run D.M.C. - Word is Born lyrics

[Run] Let's begin, to talk!! [D.M.C.] 1990, and this is what's going on To the break of dawn 24/7, Run-D.M.C. in effect Fast-forwarding All those weak-rhyming, rewinding MC's [Run] That need to pause [both] My word is born [Run] Yeah, speaking on truth From the old school on down to the youth Since the days, that I was the age of "Three"; stop - listen to me This is how it used to be - Go! Stand on the ? line, why? You did a crime now the time is mine To school you and your crew, why? Using my brother Stop - selling and k**ing one another Take some time, to see what's missin' Brothers in the ? like you, we on a mission Thinking back from the sale you made And back home, a grave is what your brother paid His life, 'cause of a system Now you think you're down, you cold dissed him Shut up, cause I'm fed up, with this culture I'm flying high in the sky, a big vulture Waiting and debating, to see who's next For "brothers and sisters" of the opposite s** So hold on, keep it intact And go on, flow on, positive black B-boys be black be proud, right on "Come on! You know I'm proud to" be black And my word is born My word is born My word is born My word is born [D.M.C.] Let's, let's.. Let's begin to talk truth -- it seems That y'all make a bang out of things that are small We all play the same game for fame to claim ?? bright lights and write your name They'll soup you up, til you think you're large Got a spot on tour, but I'm still in charge A big gig, a shindig, don't renege Bust a rap like a cap like a snap of twig That extends from the hands of a branch on a tree Like you new jack rappers, run from me I got proof of truth, I cut and go raw (Word em up D.!) My word is born {*cuts by Jay and samples to the last ten seconds*} [D.M.C.] 1990's And ain't nothing changed, punk!
