Lyrics

[00:00.42] I'm the king of rock there is none higher
[00:02.98] Sucker MC's should call me sire
[00:04.67]
[00:05.41] To burn my kingdom you must use fire
[00:07.35]
[00:07.91] I won't stop rockin' till I retire
[00:09.72]
[00:10.34] Now we the rock party and come correct
[00:11.66] Our cuts are on time and rhymes connect
[00:13.16]
[00:14.91] Got the right to vote and will elect
[00:17.09] And other rappers can't stand us but give us respect
[00:19.21]
[00:44.31] Called us They and said we're gettin iller
[00:46.18] There's no one chiller
[00:46.86] It's not Michael Jackson and this is not Thriller
[00:49.36] As one def rapper I know I can hang
[00:51.61] I'm Run from Run-DMC like Kool from Kool and the Gang
[00:53.18]
[00:54.56] Roll to the rock rock to the roll
[00:56.80] DMC stands for devestating mic control
[00:57.99]
[00:58.74] You can't touch me with a ten foot pole
[01:01.36] And I even made the devil sell me his soul
[01:04.27]
[01:08.86] Now we crash through walls cut through floors
[01:11.23] Bust through ceilings and knock down doors
[01:13.72] And when we're on the tape we're fresh out the box
[01:16.41] You can hear our sound for blocks and blocks
[01:18.65] For every living person we're a purple treat
[01:20.90] It's me and DMC Jay where's the beat
[01:22.90]
[01:33.20] Now we're the baddest of the bad the coolest of the cool
[01:35.36] I'm DMC I rock and roll I'm DJ Run I rock and rule
[01:37.86] It's not a Trick or Treat and it's not a April Fool
[01:40.04]
[01:40.73] It's all brand new never ever old school
[01:42.60]
[01:52.89] You got the music in your body and you can't comprehend
[01:54.90] Your mind When won't wiggle and your knees will bend
[01:57.08] Music ain't nothin a but people's jam
[01:59.20]
[01:59.95] It's DJ Run-DMC rockin without a band
[02:01.45]
[02:07.56] I walked Now on ice and never fell
[02:09.62] Spent I my time in a plush hotel
[02:11.69] I stood on many stages held many mics
[02:14.50] Take airplane flights at huge heights
[02:16.81] So all you sucker MC's you gotta say please
[02:18.62]
[02:19.87] Cause when he jumps high I'm pulling down weeds
[02:22.11] Got a song so strong it's knocking down trees
[02:24.36] Is it hard to believe it's Run-DMC
[02:25.87]
[02:37.22] I am from around the way
[02:39.03] And Run goes to school every day
[02:40.53]
[02:41.65] And Jay plays the records he has to play
[02:43.96] And we get down with no delay HEY
[02:46.39] I rock the party with the words I speak
[02:48.77] And Run says the rhymes that are unique
[02:51.39] And Jay cuts the records every day of the week
[02:53.76] And we are the crew that can never be beat
[02:56.31] Don't try to diss So me try to be my friend
[02:59.13] Cause if you do you'll get yours in the end
[03:00.81]
[03:01.37] The rhymes we say shall set a trend
[03:03.31] Because a devestating rap is what we send
[03:05.31]
[03:15.86] Every jam we play we break two needles
[03:18.32] There's three of us but we're not the Beatles
[03:19.71]
[03:20.83] My name is Darryl you can call him D
[03:23.14] You can call me Darryl Mack or you can call him DMC
[03:25.82] People always ask DMC what does it mean
[03:28.07] D's for never dirty MC for mostly clean
[03:29.14]
[03:40.25] Like we said before we rock hardcore
[03:41.93] I'm DJ Run I can scratch I'm DMC I can draw
[03:44.68] And now we got the knack to attract
[03:46.70] Our rhyme's an aphrodisiac
[03:48.32]
[03:49.01] We'll reign on your brain and rock your knot
[03:51.69]
[03:52.63] When it comes to rock give it all we got
[03:55.12] To be MC's we got what it takes
[03:57.25] Let the poppers pop and the breakers break
[03:59.12] We're cool cool cats it's like that
[04:01.11]
[04:01.92] That's the way it is so stay the hell back
[04:04.61] We're causin hard times for sucker MC's
[04:07.11] Cause they don't make no songs like these
[04:09.63] PERIOD
