Lyrics
[Intro]
Now Peter
Piper
Picked
Peppers
But Run rocked
Rhymes
Humpty
Dumpty
Fell
Down
That's his hard
Time
Jack B.
Nimble
What?
Nimble
And he was
Quick
But Jam
Master
Cut
Faster
Jack's on Jay's dick
[Verse 1]
Now little Bo Peep cold lost her sheep
And Rip Van Winkle fell the hell asleep
And Alice, chilling somewhere in Wonderland
Jack serving Jill, bucket in his hand
And Jam Master Jay's making all that sound
The turntables might wobble but they don't fall down
[Verse 2]
Now Dr. Seuss and Mother Goose both did their thing
But Jam Master's gettin' loose and DMC's the king
'Cause he's adult entertainer, child educator
Jam Master Jay, king of the crossfader
He's the better of the best, best believe he's the baddest
Perfect timing when I'm climbin', I'm a-rhymin' apparatus
Lot of guts
When he cuts
Girls move their butts
His name is Jay
Hear the play
He must be nuts
And on the mix
Real quick
And I'd like
To say
He's not
Flash
But he's
Fast
And his name is Jay
[Verse 3]
It, it goes a-one, two, three, and
Jay's like King Midas, as I was told
Everything that he touch turn to gold
He's the greatest of the greater, get it straight, he's great
Playing fame 'cause his name is known in every state
His name is Jay, to see him play, will make you say
"God damn, that DJ made my day"
Like the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker
He's a maker, a breaker and a title-taker
Like the little old lady who lived in a shoe
If cuts were kids, he would be due
Not lying, y'all, he's the best I know
And if I lie, my nose will grow
Like a little wooden boy named Pinocchio
And you all know how the
Story go
Tricks are for kids, he plays much gigs
He's the big, bad wolf and you're the three pigs
He's the big, bad wolf in your neighborhood
Not
Bad
Meaning
Bad
But
Bad
Meaning
Good
There it is
[Verse 4]
We're Run DMC, got a beef to settle
D's not Hansel
He's not Gretel
Jay's a winner, not a beginner
His pockets get fat, others get thinner
J-J-J-J-J-J-J
Jump
On Jay like cow jumps moon
People chase Jay like dish and spoon
And like all fairy tales end
You'll see Jay again, my friend
Huh
