If you don't this time  we shall return

 The beat is big  it's kind of large
 And when we're on the mic  we're in charge
 It's like that y'all (that y'all) like that y'all (that y'all)
 Like that a tha that a like that y'all (that y'all)

 Cool chief rocker  I don't drink vodka
 But keep a microphone inside my locker
 Go to school everyday  on the side makin pay
 Cause I'm rockin on the mic until the break of day

 And now the things I do make me a star
 And you could be too if you know who you are
 Just put your mind to it, you'll go real far
 Like a pedal to the metal when you're drivin a car

 ...Liggy-liggy-liggy-listen to the things that I say
 Because it's not routine, it's the way I play
 Just come out my mouth all time of the day
 And then I must have time to give it away

 Hey, they used to call me Easy Dee
 Cause I rapped on the mic so easily
 But now they call me D.M.C.
 (He's) the Emcee of the party
 The D's for doin it all of the time
 The M's for the rhymes that are all mine
 The C's for cool, cool as can be
 (And why you wear those glasses?) So I can see

 Huh-huh

 Got rhymes so def, rhymes, rhymes galore
 Rhymes that you never even heard before
 Now if you say you heard my rhymes, we're gonna have to fight
 Cause I just made the super-def rhymes last night

 Microphone master, super rhyme maker
 I get def as the others get faker
 It's me, D.M.C. in the place to be
 And I still got the same old harmony
 I'm the devastatin mic-controller
 The word wizard and the chief rock roller
 Bad b-boy made for the b-girls
 Rock ruler rhymes as the turntable twirls
 Supreme being who was born to talk
 And over sucker MC's all day I walk

 A few years ago my name was Joe
 And then I went to a party, cold stole the show
 Stole it as sure as birds have wings
 Now they're callin me DJ Running Things
 Got Kurtis Blow down with the two
 And my man Larry Lah makes beats for you
 Keepin up the funky beat is the Hollis Crew
 So Dee, take the mic cause you know I'm through

 In case you wonder what all this means
 We're funky fresh from Hollis, Queens
 Run and Kurt both down with me
 And that's the way it's meant to be
 I'm the microphone master D.M.C.
 Devastatin mic-controller personality
 And to the sucker MC's who did not learn
 If you don't this time we shall return
