Lyrics
[Intro]
We have
Say what?
A whole lot of superstars
On this stage here tonight
But I want y'all to know one thing
This is
My
House
And when I say, "Whose house?"
Y'all know what time it is
[Chorus]
Whose house?
Say, say, say what?
Run's house
Say what?
[Verse 1]
Ah, once again my friend, not a trend, but then
They said rap was crap, but never had this band
Till the ruler came with a cooler name
Made you dance and prance, and drove the fans insane
Name is Run, my son, number one for fun
Not a gun, that's done, and get done by none
The other act, in fact, you're just wack, I kill
Why?
It's fun, my son, and Run heads the bill
[Chorus]
Whose house?
Say what?
Run's house
Say, say, say what?
Whose house?
Say, say, say, say, say what?
Run's house
Say, say, say what? What?
[Bridge]
I'm in the house, y'all
Say what?
I'm in the house, y'all
Say what?
And this is how DMC will turn it out, y'all
Say, say what?
I'm in the house, y'all
Say what?
I'm in the house, y'all
Say what?
And this is what DMC will be about, y'all
What? What? What? Say what?
[Verse 2]
Well my name is DMC
The all-time great (Great)
I bust the most rhymes
In New York state (State)
Reporters clock (Clock)
Producers jock (Jock)
They want to be down with the king
The wanted man (Man)
From the wanted clan (Clan)
Wanted by every fan (Fan)
Across the land (Land)
Not a G-A-N-G off the street
R-U-N-D-M-C complete
[Chorus]
Whose house?
Say what?
Run's house
Say, say what?
Whose house?
Say, say, say what?
Run's house
Say what? what?
[Bridge]
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run
Run
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run
Get on the mic and
Emcee
[Verse 3]
Another time I take for the rhyme I make
Make me mad and sad because the fad is fake
See, I do this thing, so come pursue this king
One minor rhyme is all you just bring
'Cause I'm the best, I'm def, ask the rest, they left
That's my name, my game, and we don't need the ref
You get the boos, you lose, you sucker, close your mouth
I set a trap for rap, that's crap, it's Run's house
[Chorus]
Whose house?
Say, say, say, say, say what?
Run's house
Say what? What? Say what?
Whose house?
Say, say, say what?
Run's house
Say what?
[Verse 4]
Some underestimate and miscalculate
My intent to create what I call the great
Till I made this song (Song)
Then I proved them wrong (Wrong)
See my song's so strong, I make 'em come along (Long)
Come in the door (Door)
Get on the floor (Floor)
Hard rock, hard hitting, hip-hop, hardcore (Core)
Causing casualties and catastrophes
And tragedy for the sucker emcee
Using strategies to get the best of me
You dirty rat emcees, whoever you may be
You need to go down south (South)
You need to shut your mouth (Mouth)
It's all about no doubt, just shout
'Cause we turnin' out
[Chorus]
Whose house?
Say, say, say what?
Run's house
Say, say what?
Whose house?
Say, say, say, say what?
Run's house
Say, say, say what?
[Outro]
Say, say, say what?
Say, say, say what?
Say, say, say what?
Say what? What?
Say, say what?
