[Run] As I proceed indeed to take the lead with speed All the suckers'll back off and fall But this is the hype I like and the type of mic You wanna fight? Just gimme a call I'm going to breeze..
[D.M.C.] .. past the other MC's And D's rhymes'll flow like water The wind, the rain, the hurricane, it's all the same With rhymes in order
[Run] And yo my name is Run, and yeah I'm all that Slap back the KING of the daddy mack's But that ain't the news I choose to tell I gotta use the cruise that bruises well For the grime you slime, you try to diss mine I put your head to bed, cause it's bedtime I knock out your teeth beneath your gums Now you're mumblin - you bum! (Turn out the lights Run!) Picture punks playin me close when I'm hard as hell, and that's all labelled SUCKERS Waitin for the King of Swing to bring "Beats to the Rhyme," and yeah I'm runnin things Now that's the name of the phrase, so don't be amazed at the ways my rhyme displays You gotta make the best of what you got to get to the top in hip-hop, you gotta diggy diggy don't STOP!
.. musical interlude ..
[D.M.C.] The ?? artist, hittin hardest, smartest Professor, compressor, impressor to the lesser low-life ?? of the mic I come CORRECT! (You surely right) The atmosphere is clear when I appear Here to wax and tax an MC for mere pennies And if any, wanna get with D I crash and bash and smash his ass for free Black man! Originating creating a beat I educate and straight from off the streets HARD, like a man was born to be It just just happened in rap I was born to be KING, yeah me the king of the rock So let's rock the spot and diggy don't STOP!
.. musical interlude ..
[DMC] Funky lyrics that you hear [both] AS WE RELEASE THE MASTERPIECE THE MUSIC WILL CEASE [Run] and I'll put up the peace sign
[D.M.C.] And I roll with soul and reach my goal, the story is told D's bold, and suckers'll fold
[Run] And I'm Run my son the fun has just begun and some are slum, and make em sell til crumbles crumb they hum, those fools will come And none have never done Run, Jay!
[D.M.C.] D.M.C. the king is me and I be the voice of black community So be the unity inside of me, and we will all agree about this - don't STOP!
