[Run-D.M.C.]

Kings from Queens from Queens come Kings

We're raisin hell like a class when the lunchbell rings

The king will be praised, and hell will be raised

S-s-s-suckers try to faze him but D won't be fazed

So what's your name? D.M.C.! The King is me!

Your High-ness, or His Majesty!

Now you can debate, c-c-c-concentrate

But you can't imitate D.M.C. the Great!



Dissin all devils, causin havoc in HELL

At a very high level base and treble shall YELL

Heard in the heavens are the sounds supreme

So clear to the ear it is sometimes seen

So loud like a cloud with thunder and LIGHTNING

So proud to the crowd it is somewhat FRIGHTENING

No calm in the storm like a beast unleashed

There's no stoppin cause the rockin cannot cease; BREAK!



[Run]

You see it's harder than hard, not one bit soft

Courageous and contagious so you better break North

Not a cold, on a roll, did you hear me cough?

Just listen while I'm dissin cause you're pissin me off

Cold bedding is spreading all across your face

You can't take when I break and if that's the case

I'll go on, and on, and kick the bass

So back up off the cup while I take my taste



[D.M.C.]

It's highly appraised when the hell is raised

So demanding and commanding that you all stand dazed

The unbelieving receiving prophecy so true

I cut the head off the Devil and I throw it at you

My mighty mic control, already brought his soul

The rock king is so bold when he rocks and roll

A black hat is my crown, symbolizin the sound

Signifyin, we won't play around; BUST IT!



[Run]

Rappin and climbin beat-makin every day

No synthesizer sound, so silence when I say

I am great, get it straight, cause that's my fate

My name is Run I'm number one, that's how I rate

He's in the place with the bass, and style and grace

His name is J he's here to play, and win this race

He's off the wall, on the ball, his name is D

Kind of tall yes y'all, he's down with me



[D.M.C.]

From the mountain valley to the deep blue sea

The word is heard as told by D

I don't sing I bring, much delight

Like a star shinin bright in the darkest night

If you are cold, I'll bring you heat

Like I brought the whole world my funky beat

Mysterious and serious I ain't no joke

Fire from the depths of hell AND YOU CAN SMELL THE SMOKE!



[Run]

Kickin and tickin while you're havin a ball

Like chicken finger lickin I'll be vickin you all

So do the bird, have you heard, did they give you a call

Just me and D.M.C., cold shakin the walls



[D.M.C.]

There's no fearin when hearin sound of this kind

Across the land every man is goin out of his mind

On the face of the earth spreadin like disease

Contaminating infiltrating like a horde of bees



[Run-D.M.C.]

Lord of lyrics, duke of discussion

Ruler of rock, your king at cold-crushin

Puller of people - controller of crowds

Lingering lyrics all lasting and loud



[Run]

Left y'all, ah to the left y'all

because I rock upon the mike real def y'all



[D.M.C.]

And to the right y'all, ah to the right y'all

because I rock upon the mike all night y'all



[Run]

You see, I..



[D.M.C.]

.. want respect, if I'm correct

They're all like a ball that I have checked

And the shots they take have no effect

The pope try to dope but he broke his neck

Cause I rock harder, and I get farther

You wanna battle D hey please don't bother

To waste your time, messin with my rhyme

The only kick you get out of is in the behind!

ttin' behind
