Listen to the Jam Master as he starts to rock
 His name is Jay and he's on his way
 To be the best DJ in the US of A

 J a y are the letters of his name
 Cutting and scratching are the aspects of his game
 So check out the Master as he cuts these jams
 And look at us with the mics in our hands
 Then take a count  1 2 3
 Jam Master Jay  Run D.M.C.

 He's Jam Master Jay  the big beat blaster
 He gets better cause he knows he has to
 In '84 he'll be a little faster
 And only practice makes a real Jam Master

 We're live as can be but we're not singing the blues
 We got to tell all y'all the good news
 The good news is that there is a crew
 Not 5, not 4, not 3, just 2
 2 MC's who are claiming the fame
 And all other things won't be the same
 Beacause it's about time for a brand new group
 Run-D.M.C. to put you up on the scoop
 We make the fly girls scream in ecstacy
 We rock the freshest rhymes at a party
 We put all the fellas in a daze
 It's everyone that we amaze
 And we got the master of a disco scratch
 There's not a break that he can't catch
 Jam Master Jay that is his name
 And all wild DJ's he will tame
 Behind the turntables is where he stands
 Then there is the movement of his hands
 So when asked who's the best, y'all should say:
 "Run-D.M.C. and Jam Master Jay"

 Jam Master Jay is the one in charge
 It's up to him to rock beats that are truly large
 He is the master of the scratch and cut
 So move your arms, so move your legs
 So won't you move your butt

 We're not talking ground, we're not talking sky
 We're not talking low, we're not talking high
 We're not talking big, we're not talking small
 We want all of the people on off the wall
 We're not talking night, we're not talking day
 But we're talking bout Jam Master Jay
