Jump...

Jay...
Run...
DMC...
Yeah...!
What...?
Who...?
King...of...Rock...!
I want to rock right now
DJ Run, and I'm claiming my crown
I be internationally known
Even got chrome on my microphone
I ain't stoopid y'all, outrageous
Actin like Run can't rock all ages
So...Joe - act like y'all don't know
Run be rockin since Kurtis Blow
Me and my brother be gettin this dough
Came in the door, said it befoe'
These are the Kings from around the way
Run-DMC and Jam Master Jay...
[Chorus:]
I'm the King (what's up?) of ROCK!
Who am I?
I'm the King (of what?) of ROCK!
WHO ARE WE?
I'm the King (alright, never let ya down) of ROCK!
In the end it's just a rock song
I'm the King (alright, alright, alright) of ROCK!
In the end it's just a rock song
Y'all wanna know what it takes to be
An MC like D in the place to be
Gotta a house on the hill full of family
With the grass more green than a gram of weed
Stars in the cars on the way to my Show
Gettin raw at the pub when they're drinking the mo
With a cigar and the pumps he be getting the dough
And unchanged with the lane and the range of the roll
Just 'cause y'all know my name
Heard my fame and seen my game
Don't mean I'm all about the glitter and glam
The King of Rock - is who I am
Raw - we are - by law
First one rockin' in Adidas y'all saw
Jumped on Tour way back in '84
Jay, Run, D, Macs rock-knockin' at your door
[Chorus:]
I'm the King (alright, never let ya down) of ROCK!
In the end it's just a rock song
I'm the King (alright, never let ya down) of ROCK!
Cause in the end it's just a rock song
I'm the King (alright, never let ya go) of ROCK!
cause in the end it's just a rock song
I'm the King (alright, alright, alright) of ROCK!
In the end it's just a rock song
Who am I?
I'm the King (alright, alright, alright/of what?) of ROCK!
In the end it's just a rock song
