As I proceed indeed to take the lead with speed

All the suckers'll back off and fall

But this is the hype I like and the type of mic

You wanna fight?  Just gimme a call

I'm going to breeze..





.. past the other MC's

And D's rhymes'll flow like water

The wind, the rain, the hurricane, it's all the same

With rhymes in order





And yo my name is Run, and yeah I'm all that

Slap back the KING of the daddy mack's

But that ain't the news I choose to tell

I gotta use the cruise that bruises well

For the grime you slime, you try to diss mine

I put your head to bed, cause it's bedtime

I knock out your teeth beneath your gums

Now you're mumblin - you bum!

(Turn out the lights Run!)  Picture punks playin me close

when I'm hard as hell, and that's all labelled SUCKERS

Waitin for the King of Swing to bring

"Beats to the Rhyme," and yeah I'm runnin things

Now that's the name of the phrase, 

so don't be amazed at the ways my rhyme displays

You gotta make the best of what you got to get to the top

in hip-hop, you gotta diggy diggy don't STOP!









The ?? artist, hittin hardest, smartest

Professor, compressor, impressor to the lesser

low-life ?? of the mic

I come CORRECT! (You surely right)

The atmosphere is clear when I appear

Here to wax and tax an MC for mere pennies

And if any, wanna get with D

I crash and bash and smash his ass for free

Black man!  Originating creating a beat

I educate and straight from off the streets

HARD, like a man was born to be

It just just happened in rap I was born to be

KING, yeah me the king of the rock

So let's rock the spot and diggy don't STOP!

















And I roll with soul and reach my goal, the story is told

D's bold, and suckers'll fold





And I'm Run my son the fun has just begun

and some are slum, and make em sell til 

crumbles crumb they hum, those fools will come

And none have never done Run, Jay!





D.M.C. the king is me and I be

the voice of black community

So be the unity inside of me, and we

will all agree about this - don't STOP!
