Perfection

[DMC] Everyone out there ready?

[Run] It goes a one, two, three, and..

[Run]

Perfection to D, is quite essential

He has to live up, to his potential

[DMC]

I work real hard all day and night

I get to it and do it cause I want it right

I got bass, (tone), I use, (y'know)

And then I rock (the funky) rhyme (on) the (microphone)

I got a funky fresh (car) with the funky fresh (bar)

I'm a funky fresh (star) and I'm up to (par)

My name is D.M.(C!) down with Run and (Jay)

Is everything copacetic y'all? (Kind of A-O-K)

[both]

PERFECTION (yo yo yo, what we talkin bout, what we talkin bout)

PERFECTION (most definitely)

[DMC]

I got prescription glasses and my eyes are correct

Two times every year I go to have them checked

Per-fection's my selection, and I will select

And if it's not (per-fect) I will perfect

[both]

PERFECTION.. (what we got?)

PERFECTION

[Run]

.. who me? You want me?

I got a, credit (card) made out of (gold)

I get (pass) in a (class) and the story's told

I got D.M.(C.), I got JM(J)

I got Jeff (he's def) and Runny Ray

I got a dog (a cat) a mouse (a rat)

A fly (he won't die) and a little gnat

My name is DJ (Run) and he's Darryl (Mack)

Run-(D.M.C.), right AND EXACT

[both]

PERFECTION

PERFECTION.. (c'mon let's get em, tell em D)

[DMC]

I won't fail, I won't flop

Stall or stutter yes I won't stop

It takes hard work, to be like this

(You should know) cause I'm a perfectionist

[both]

PERFECTION

PERFECTION

PERFECTION.. (yo DJ Run what is it?)

PERFECTION.. (perfectly speaking)

PERFECTION

PERFECTION

PERFECTION (p-p-p-perfect)

PERFECTION.. (perfectly speaking)

PERFECTION (p-pu-p-pu, 100 percent)

PERFECTION (roll roll roll, c'mon c'mon c'mon)

PERFECTION (word, there it is)
