Is it hard to believe, it's Run DMC?
And other rappers can't stand us but give us respect
'Cause if you do, you'll get yours in the end
There's three of us but we're not the Beatles
I'm the king of rock, there is none higher
It's me and DMC, Jay, where's the beat?
Roll to the rock, rock to the roll
Now we crash through walls, cut through floors
Now we rock the party and come correct
I spent my time in a plush hotel
That's the way it is, so stay the hell back
[Incomprehensible]
Period
I rock the party with the words I speak
Every jam we play, we break two needles
And I even made the devil sell me his soul
Let the poppers pop and the breakers break

I am from around the way
So don't try to diss me, try to be my friend
We're cool, cool cats, it's like that
Like we said before, we rock hardcore
And when we're on the tape, we're fresh out the box
I'm Run from Run DMC like Kool from Kool and the Gang
The rhymes we say shall set a trend
DMC stands for Devestating Mic Control
And Jay cuts the records every day of the week
It's all brand new, never ever old school
You can call me Darryl Mack or you can call him DMC
You can't touch me with a ten foot pole
I won't stop rockin' till I retire
Now we're the baddest of the bad, the coolest of the cool
It's not Michael Jackson and this is not Thriller
And we get down with no delay, hey
Because a devestating rap is what we send
I'm DMC, I rock and roll, I'm DJ Run, I rock and rule
You got the music in your body and you can't comprehend
To burn my kingdom, you must use fire
It's DJ Run DMC rockin' without a band
My name is Darryl, you can call him D
'Cause when he jumps high, I'm pulling down weeds
Our cuts are on time and rhymes connect
To be MCs, we got what it takes
I'm DJ Run, I can scratch, I'm DMC, I can draw
When it comes to rock, give it all we got
'Cause they don't make no songs like these
They called us and said we're gettin' iller, there's no one chiller
So all you sucker MCs, you gotta say please
And Run goes to school every day
You can hear our sound for blocks and blocks
People always ask, "DMC, what does it mean?"
Take airplane flights at huge heights
It's not a trick or treat and it's not a April fool
When your mind won't wiggle and your knees will bend
Sucker MCs should call me sire
Now I walked on ice and never fell
D's for never dirty, MC for mostly clean
Our rhyme's an aphrodisiac
For every living person, we're a purple treat
We're 'causin hard times for sucker MCs
And we are the crew that can never be beat
I stood on many stages, held many mics
As one def rapper, I know I can hang
Music ain't nothin' but a people's jam
Songwriters: Darryl Mcdaniels, Joseph Simmons, Lawrence Smith
And now we got the knack to attract
And Run says the rhymes that are unique
Bust through ceilings and knock down doors
Got a song so strong, it's knocking down trees
We'll reign on your brain and rock your knot
And Jay plays the records he has to play
Got the right to vote and will elect
