Two years ago a friend of mine |
| [00:14.49] |
Asked me to say some emcee rhymes |
| [00:16.62] |
So I said this rhyme I'm about to say, |
| [00:19.08] |
The rhyme was Def and it went this way |
| [00:21.42] |
Took a test to become an emcee |
| [00:24.12] |
And Orange Krush became amazed at me |
| [00:25.92] |
So Larry put me inside his Cadillac, |
| [00:28.44] |
The chauffeur drove off and we never came back |
| [00:30.93] |
Dave cut the record down to the bone, |
| [00:33.18] |
And now they got me rockin' on the microphone |
| [00:35.31] |
And then we're talking autographs, years of laughs, |
| [00:37.62] |
Champagne, caviar, and bubble baths |
| [00:39.90] |
You see, that's the life that I lead, and |
| [00:42.39] |
You sucker MC, this is who I be |
| [00:44.49] |
So take that and move back, catch a heart attack |
| [00:46.89] |
Because there's nothing in the world, that Run will ever lack |
| [00:49.26] |
I cold chill at a party in a be -boy's stance, |
| [00:51.84] |
And rock on the mike and make the girls want to dance |
| [00:54.24] |
Fly like a dove, they come from up above, |
| [00:56.55] |
I'm rockin on the mike and you can call me Run Love. |
| [01:07.89] |
I got a big long Caddy not like a Seville |
| [01:10.29] |
And written right on the side it reads 'Dressed to Kill' |
| [01:12.57] |
So if you see me cruisin' girls just move or step aside |
| [01:15.12] |
There ain't enough room to fit you all in my ride |
| [01:17.28] |
It's on a, ah first come, first serve basis |
| [01:19.80] |
Coolin out girl, take you to the def places |
| [01:22.17] |
One of a kind and for your people's delight |
| [01:24.21] |
And for you sucker emcee, you just ain't right |
| [01:26.55] |
Because you're bitin all your life, you're cheatin on your wife |
| [01:29.16] |
You're walkin round town like a hoodlum with a knife |
| [01:31.41] |
You're hangin on the ave, chillin' with the crew |
| [01:33.84] |
And everybody know what you've been through |
| [01:38.19] |
Ah with the one two three, three to two one |
| [01:40.71] |
My man Larry Larr, my name DJ Run |
| [01:43.05] |
We do it in the place with the highs and the bass |
| [01:45.45] |
I'm rockin to the rhythm won't you watch it on my face |
| [01:47.88] |
Go Uptown and come down to the ground |
| [01:50.10] |
You sucker emcee's, you sad face clown |
| [01:52.44] |
You're a five-dollar boy and I'm a million dollar man |
| [01:54.69] |
You're a sucker emcee, and you're my fan |
| [01:57.03] |
You try to bite rhymes, all lines are mine |
| [01:59.31] |
You're a sucker emcee in a pair of Calvin Kleins |
| [02:01.86] |
Comin' from the wackest part of town, |
| [02:04.05] |
Tryin to rap but you can't get down |
| [02:06.15] |
You don't even know your English, your verbs or noun |
| [02:08.55] |
You're just a sucker emcee you sad-faced clown |
| [02:10.80] |
So DMC if you're ready, the people rockin' steady |
| [02:13.41] |
You're drivin big cars, get your gas from Getty |
| [02:15.69] |
I'm DMC in the place to be, I go to St. John's University |
| [02:20.34] |
And since kindergarten I acquired the knowledge, |
| [02:22.80] |
And after 12th grade I went straight to college |
| [02:25.08] |
I'm light skinned, I live in Queens |
| [02:27.24] |
And I love eatin chicken and collard greens |
| [02:29.67] |
I dress to kill, I love to style |
| [02:31.98] |
I'm the emcee you know who's versatile |
| [02:34.26] |
Say I got good credit in your regards |
| [02:36.57] |
Got my name not numbers on my credit cards |
| [02:39.12] |
I go Uptown, I come back home |
| [02:41.16] |
With who? me myself and my microphone |
| [02:43.89] |
All my rhymes are street delight |
| [02:45.90] |
So here's another one for why'all to bite |
| [02:48.45] |
When I rhyme I never quit, |
| [02:50.55] |
And if I got a new rhyme I'll just say it |
| [02:52.89] |
'Cause it takes a lot to entertain, |
| [02:55.32] |
And sucker emcee's can be a pain |
| [02:57.72] |
You can't rock a party with a hip and a hop |
| [02:59.97] |
You gotta let em know you'll never stop |
| [03:02.40] |
The rhymes have to make a lot of sense, |
| [03:04.53] |
You got to know when to start (when the beats commence... |
