I'm the king of rock, there is none higher Sucker MC's should call me sire
To burn my kingdom, you must use fire I won't stop rockin' till I retire

Now we rock the party and come correct Our cuts are on time and rhymes connect
Got the right to vote and will elect And other rappers can't stand us, but give us respect

They called us and said we're gettin iller There's no one chiller It's not Michael Jackson and this is not Thriller
As one def rapper, I know I can hang I'm Run from Run-DMC, like Kool from Kool and the Gang
Roll to the rock, rock to the roll DMC stands for devestating mic control
You can't touch me with a ten foot pole And I even made the devil sell me his soul

Now we crash through walls, cut through floors Bust through ceilings and knock down doors
And when we're on the tape, we're fresh out the box You can hear our sound for blocks and blocks
For every living person we're a purple treat It's me and DMC, Jay where's the beat?

Now we're the baddest of the bad, the coolest of the cool I'm DMC, I rock and roll. I'm DJ Run, I rock and rule
It's not a Trick or Treat and it's not a April Fool It's all brand new, never ever old school

You got the music in your body and you can't comprehend When your mind won't wiggle and your knees will bend
Music ain't nothin but a people's jam It's DJ Run-DMC rockin without a band

Now I walked on ice and never fell I spent my time in a plush hotel
I stood on many stages, held many mics Take airplane flights, at huge heights
So all you sucker MC's, you gotta say please Cause when he jumps high, I'm pulling down weeds
Got a song so strong, it's knocking down trees Is it hard to believe it's Run-DMC

I am from, around the way And Run goes to school, every day
And Jay plays the records he has to play And we get down with no delay, HEY!
I rock the party with the words I speak And Run says the rhymes that are unique
And Jay cuts the records every day of the week And we are the crew that can never be beat
So don't try to diss me, try to be my friend Cause if you do, you'll get yours in the end
The rhymes we say, shall set a trend Because a devestating rap is what we send

Every jam we play, we break two needles There's three of us but we're not the Beatles
My name is Darryl, you can call him D You can call me Darryl Mack, or you can call him DMC
People always ask, "DMC, what does it mean?" D's for never dirty, MC for mostly clean

Like we said before, we rock hardcore I'm DJ Run, I can scratch. I'm DMC, I can draw
And now we got the knack, to attract Our rhyme's an aphrodisiac
We'll reign on your brain and rock your knot When it comes to rock, give it all we got
To be MC's, we got what it takes Let the poppers pop and the breakers break
We're cool cool cats, it's like that That's the way it is, so stay the hell back
We're causin hard times, for sucker MC's Cause they don't make no songs like these
PERIOD!
