Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Run, run
DMC
Bye, bye, bye
For you
Fresh, fresh, fresh shit
[Verse 2]
For all you sucka MC's perpetrating the Run
You 'bout the cold whack and get the crowd cold hard
You're the kind of guy that girl ignored
I'm droppin' Caddy, you fixin' a Ford
My name is Joseph Simmons but my middle name's Ward
And when I'm rockin' on the mic, you should all applaud
Because we're wheelin', dealin', we got a funny feelin'
We rock from floor up to the ceilin'
We groovin', you movin', it has been proven
We count the seven beats because our music is soothing
We created, related and often demonstrated
We'll diss a sucka MC make the other suckas hate it
We're rising, surprising, and often hypnotizing
We always tell the truth and then we never slip no lies in
No curls, no braids, peasy-head and still get paid
Jam Master cut the record up and down and cross fade
[Verse 3]
Check out the rhymes I say, sharp as a nail
Witty as can be and not for sale
Always funky fresh, could never be stale
Took a test to become an MC and didn't fail
I couldn't wait to demonstrate
All the super def rhymes that I create
I'm the Wizard of the Word, that's what you heard
And anything else is quite absurd
I'm the master of the mic, that's what I say
And if I think, just say that, you'll say it anyway
Bust into a party, come in the place
See first we come, then music's in your face
Girls on the wall, some on the floor
With the DJ named Jay with the trunks galore
So listen to this because it can't be missed
And you can't leave till you're dismissed
You can do anything that you want to
But you can't leave until we're through
So relax your body and your mind
And listen to us say this rhyme
And you might think that you have waited
Long enough till the rhyme was stated
But if it were a test it would be graded
With a B that's not debated
Nothing too deep and nothing dense
And all our rhymes make a lot of sense
[Verse 4]
So move your butt to the cut
Let 'em up, you're not in a rut
Each and everybody out there, we got to know 'cause
We want to see you all in motion
Just shake, wriggle, jump up and down
Move your body to the funky sound
Side to side, back and forth
We're the two MC's and we're gonna go off
Stand in place, walk or run
Tap your feet, you'll be on the one
Just snap your fingers and clap your hands
Our DJ is better than all these bands
Hooah!
[Verse 5]
We got all the lines
And all the rhymes
We don't drop dimes and we don't do crimes
We bake a little cake with Duncan Hines
And never wear the plastic or the Calvin Klein
'Cause Calvin Klein is no friend of mine
Don't want nobody's name on my behind
V on my leg, sneakers on my feet
Diva by my side and Jay with the beat
[Verse 6]
Jay jay jay jay
We don't, we don't stop
Jay jay jay jay
One, two, three
Hollis crew
For, for, for, for the love now
Cool T now
My, my man jam master
Is in his place to be (Jay jay jay jay)
The, the big beat blaster
Straight off the track
All the way live
Re-remember you don't stop
Kickin' it, and you don't stop
Rock, d-dot, d-dot, rock the spot
Stick 'em and you don't stop
Run rocks it well, well, well
With the clientele
Crush groove
Young ladies in the place
We, we we're, we we're we're, we we're
We we're in the hottest space
Now we're talkin' autographs
Autographs and autographs
Fly girls in the place, in the place
Homeboys
Hollis crew
