I'm Not Going Out Like That

[Malcolm X]

Many of our people..

stealing..

gambling..

Many of our people turn to..

[Run]

Crime, time, nah I get mine

Climb, do fine, wine and just dine

Make, break, ill and just take

fate for God sake a break is at stake

Crack, wack, smack you right back

In fact you might last to jack if I crack

Cry, lie, do or just die

Live positive and give, but that's why "I'm not.."

[cuts:]

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that", "I'm not!!"

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that" (like like, like..)

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that", "I'm not!!"

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that!"

[D.M.C.]

Dee the King me, and you knew it

??, so get to it

You want to flaunt and talk, and you're tryin

to taunt and want and want, cause you're dyin

Your place, race, chase, and I seen it

and now, child, bow, and I mean it

I came, saw, kicked, and you saw it

The crowd, proud and loud, and all for it

?? sin is wrong, so don't do it

We invented the song, and you blew it

I knew the time was right, so I wrote it

Here's the hook, look, so just quote it "I'm not.."

[cuts:]

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that", "I'm not!!"

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that"

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that", "I'm not!!"

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that!"

[Run]

Comin off, time and time, and that's whether

you, your crew, knew, whatever

I did, done, do, I'm this clever

I come again and win, and you'll never

see a man like me, your idol

So joke, smoke, toke, but this title

the rhyme is mine, fine, and so vital

It's time for me to rock, my recital

Gonna tell you about a groove, that's comin

from the heart in part, and just one in

a million, or you, will be bummin

So check the time, the rhyme, that comes from it

Inside your brain, remain, so just keep it

plain, sane, refrain, so just peep it

Look, see it, check, but never stop it

The hook, comes, next, so Jay drop it! "I'm not.."

[cuts:]

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that", "I'm not!!"

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that" (like like, like..)

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that", "I'm not!!"

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that!"

[D.M.C.]

Gotta go Joe you know, to the T-O, P

and see Dee, you know we know

the way today I say, I'm not a Leo

The King is Dee and Jay, he score ??

that's left to smile a while, keep grinnin

This past style, is wild, and I'm winnin

Roll, stroll, control, and I'm coolin

The King of Rock and Roll, and I'm rulin

I rhyme, shock and stop, and I'm droppin

I pop hip-hop, I'm hip-hoppin

Receive a G ?? while I'm throwin

It's D.M.C. it's me, I'm not goin "I'm not.."

[cuts:]

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that", "I'm not!!"

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that" (like like, like..)

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that", "I'm not!!"

"going" .. "out" .. "like, like-like that!"

[Run-D.M.C.]

Must, crush, us, you gotta

take, us, out, we're hotter

Team, is, mean, a lot of

work, in, volved, we're smarter

Dee, Jay, Run, no jokin

Hot, as, Hell, we're smokin

Punks, rumps, chumps, we're yokin

News, is, crews, are chokin

Out, like, that, not goin

in, like, men, we're growin

Chance, to, dance, not blowin

Go, to, show, don't roll in

Don't, you, know, we're stayin

here, to, show, not playin

Here's, the, jam, respect it

Time, to, end, THIS RECORD! "I'm not.."

[cuts:]

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that", "I'm not!!"

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that" (like like, like..)

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that", "I'm not!!"

"going" .. "out, out out" .. "like that!"
