[Run]

You say who did this (DID THIS) did this (DID THIS)

Face you're lookin dumb on, hum could you HUM ON

Beats are droppin now and what and why and when and how

Drop it come on, come on, I got some on, my TIP

Get me up and goin for the vickie vickie VICK

Beefin through your teeth and what you see is what you GET

Suckers what you lack is what you lickie lickie LICK

Now off into esophagus that be coughin out a rhyme

Now some are dumb make fun of dem but Run and dem be kind

So come on, come on, got you swingin on my BO

Suckers seek my facial but you see I lay you LOW

Let me get a hoe on the down-low "God damn!!"

My name is Darryl Mac and I'm fat y'all (FAT Y'ALL)

Back one more time [time] here to get mine [mine]

Fresh in the flesh with the hardcore rhymes (RHYMES)

Me, D.M.C. (Cee) the only MC (cee)

Rock shock the house and I'm still cock-dee (DEE)

Brothers know my style (STYLE) D. Mac buckwild (WILD)

You wonder where I've been? I've been gone for a while (WHILE)

Back to attack [tack] the wick-wick-wack (WACK)

Me Darryl Mac [Mac] suckers on my BOZACK

Down with Run [Run] so don't act stunned [stunned]

Run-D.M.C., shootin like a SHOTGUN (BOOM!)

In effect, cause I'm still rulin

"I'm the KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING," and I'm still coolin

Now can I get it yo? (Yeah, you got it yo)

Now can I get it yo? (Yeah, you got it yo)

[Jam Master Jay]

My name is Jay, the Jam Master, gettin loose

Tupac had some, but now I got the _Juice_

I'm gettin stupid, you wonder why I'm ill?

Cause I've been around, and still got these skills

* Jay cuts "one one one" * two mic check gettin wreck

A real street nigga, so yo show respect

I make you wanna JUMP JUMP around wicked

Run-D.M.C., and Jam Master kickin it

[Run]

Still the King of Rock, hoe around the tick-tock

Rappers sweatin Joseph Simmons, ever since I dropped _Rock Box_

Multiplatinum, waxin em while I'm maxin em

"Who's House?" God's House, so chill while I'm taxin em

[D.M.C.]

Rappers poppin mad smack, about the King of Rap

Ten million sold, SEVEN DIGIT CONTRACT

[Run]

JMJ, gettin busy on the crossfader

Beats hardcore, diesel like the Schwarzeneggar

[Parrish] Respect the black crown

[Sermon] Sounds underground

[D.M.C.] Any stage they built

[Joseph] Run tore it down!

Now can I get it yo? (Yeah, you got it yo)

Now can I get it yo? (Yeah, you got it yo)

Now can I get it yo? (Yeah, you got it yo)
