with "you know what I'm sayin'" sample throughout

(Kracker)

You must be outta your mind

what do ya think you're doin' here

20 years gone by, and you still don't know why

when there was a day one, there was a DJ Run

and when you think of days way back, there was a Daryl Mac

and before you had a ghetto blaster,

there really was a Jam Master

kid kracker, that's me, yo Kid Rock,

come show the unknown what you think is what

(Kid Rock)

What chyall do is just in a legend

been rhymin' since the age of eleven

I know the records so I'm goin' to heaven

seven and I'm rollin eleven

beats platinum popper your copper

you rock a Benz but I got a chopper

sayin' this thing over and over

you think I'm playin, but I'm not so I'll say it again

I'm say only you know what I'm sayin'

playin' what you think I'm playin'

rollie while my hommie is Joey

the problem is y'all think that you know me

never have I ever been better

mad cause I'm tougher than leather

sunny on the story is whether you know what I'm sayin

I'm the king and I'm rulin' forever

(Kracker)

Yeah, you better believe Hip-hop and rock does exist

and before you cross that off the list,

you better get yourself some of this

and you can wish til your eyes bleed

but you know what I mean

and this stuff aint never been so mean

so you better come clean before you can't come at all

cuz once you start to spit

you can bet your ass you're gonna fall

I said you can bet your ass you're gonna fall (why why why why)

(Kid Rock)

why the hell yall rappers be frontin'

don't publish shit that points to you know nothin

that rollie must be borrowed or somethin'

and when I roll up like this I been huntin'

feedin' up a bunch for a million

thinkin' that your makin' a killin'

now the day is over no moanin'

y'all sucker's sober that your checkin'

out a certain feelin'

what happened to those couple of hoes

damn you and you payin' them hoes

and that wasn't complementray mode

it's like that and that's the way that it goes, bitch

(Kracker)

while you busy sleepin, Run DMC is busy eatin'

steaks, shrimp, Lobster up in Maine

champaign from L.A. to Spain

Detroit to Texas

Nobody checks us

new moves

and you can't see it

you better get some glass cuz its

Run DMC n

or Jam Master Jay n

lets playin'

cuz if you don't say it

some one else will

who sport this bill

******Need some help here...

(Run)

Do you hear the beats up to the ceiling

Brooklyn all the way to New Zealand

Harlem all the way to Jamaica

Run's up in your Bodega

Queen's, and

to the playa's in

all your hustlers in Memphis

livin' up in tenament buildings

(Kracker)

Uh huh and we all say none

and there'll be no more

from shore to shore

coast to coast

Run DMC, Jam Master Jay, Kid Rock, Kracker

chillin' in most

chillin' aint nobody illin'

we walk this line

and contrary to popular belief

real stars do shine

and from behind

so lets rip

no shots

we hot on this hustle

thanks for comin' out

god bless

good night like Russell (wha wha wha wha)

DMC: wha wha wha wha wha

wha wha wha wha wha

wha wha wha wha wha
