[Run] One two, one two, and I say..

[DMC] Yo whassup whassup whassup?

[ ? ] Girls gone crazy for the 90's

[Run] X amount of girls in the house

[DMC] You hear?

[ ? ] MCX (I like it..) get mad!

A with a hip to the hop to the hip-hop reggae

W-w-w-w-w-w-w-watch dis!

[reggae chorus]

[D.M.C.]

I was walkin down Broadway the other day

In New York it was a bored day with my man Jay

Lots of lovely ladies like a-lookin our way

Play like Willie Mays all-star and 'Say Hey'

Then I seen a girl so beautiful I wanted to know

I said there's none as cute as you now which way you go?

Into my rap now won't you check out my flow

Darryl the Mack Attack come check out my show

Check out my records, I make my message clear

in this direction, where do we go from here?

[reggae chorus + chatta]

[Run]

Now bust it, seen I'm looker cleaner and leaner at the arena

Tina scheamin like a schemer so Tina, jump in my Beemer

So we did, so we jump in and jet

Put it in gear pull up ??, pop a pumpin cassette

I figured the girlie was ridin my jock, cause the way that she

rocked

knew my limit from the minute that she started to clock

I'm lovin her coverin her rubbin her down til she started to

frown

I said yo lady bust it baby, where do I go now? So..

Check out my records, I make my message clear

in this direction, where do we go from here?

[reggae chorus + chatta]

[Run]

Now bust it pen to the hand I am the grand writer

Wrote a plan for you ma'am and damn, beautiful

to make you move to my groove is here

So my dear be of good cheer I make it perfectly clear

Not number two you're the one when all is said and is done

Serious as the cancer give a answer to Run, so..

Check out my records, I make my message clear

in this direction, where do we go from here?

[reggae chorus]

[D.M.C.]

I kick the lyrics strictly wreckin the head

Not forgetten what is written, stickin to what is said

When D is MC'n there's no bein mislead

Got to have her and like Shabba I am wicked in bed (hehehehe)

The woman made me wonder, she's the one I will wed

So I turned to the ??, and a dis is what I said

I said give me your number I'ma give you a call

Check it out y'all, check it out y'all

Check out my records, I make my message clear

in this direction, where do we go from here?

[reggae]
