"Do or die!" (2X)



[Run]

Come on stand up, still-a, a nigga that's gettin iller

If you're weak and/or you're sleepin

(then what?) you get the cap I peel up

And til-I, I kill a sucker duck dope dealer

Sold to my brother but the ghetto stands stiller

Still-a, standin, commandin and demandin

from the get-go got the ghetto get a medal cause it's standin

I'm makin a buck, they takin a buck, the tax that attacks the world

A system built to diss em (who?) the boys (who) and the girls

They starvin, we're starvin, keepin a nine to five an'

try to hold us down, keep us out but we be risin

Risin, risin, risin like the cream

Stiggidy stiggidy stiggidy still, stiggidy standin for the team



Chorus One: Run-D.M.C. (repeat 2X)



We put three in the head

and the little one said roll over, roll over

"Do or die!"



[D.M.C.]

I run amuk upon the sucker duck punks that I'm steppin on

The one you're bettin on you're lucky like a leprechaun

I turn my weapon on my record ?? ??

Mic checkin and I'm wreckin and I'm checkin on

So check it check it out, I'm gonna rock the house

Without a doubta I'ma shout about to turn it out

So take a step BACK, I gotta wreck TRACK

I got a rep for breakin necks, I get respect black

(Damn damn!) Darryl Mack, you're all of that

They pray they can save the crazy rat

They attack to mack to move him off the map

could never tell I fell, to hell and back

It's beautiful -- the mic makes hits

to the dirty, stinkin, son of a.... (auuuuuuhh)

I'm mad and glad and sad and highly upset

So don't do nothin that you might regret

Cause I'll stomp that ass, like a little insect (c'mon)

clean off my kicks (c'mon) clean off my kicks (c'mon)

clean off my kicks and then STEP!

(stiggidy-stick, step!)



Chorus One



Chorus Two: Run-D.M.C.



So they all rolled over and one fell out

We put two in the head

and the little one said, roll over, roll over!

"Do or die!"

We put two in the head

and the little one said..



[Run]

Now c'mon step to me do me pursue me you never knew me

You'll be sleepin and you slept on the step

And now your crew be sweatin me like you're sweatin the sweat

Another groupie dissin D, now you're back on the set

I'm makin em takin em breakin em all

Diss em one by one

You make the mistake of thinkin I'm soft

Thinkin Run ain't the one

From eighty-three and they be seein me and D and they front

?? the suckers from the ruckus that's about to become

Reel it back, come REWIND it's about that time

Feelin wack, ate the swine it's about that swine

in your body couldn't keep up at the end of the set

Bet ya beat ya that I teach ya and you're stuck until death

(That's what I'm sayin)



Chorus One



Chorus Three: Run-D.M.C.



We put two in the head

and the little one said

We put one in the head

and the little one said, roll over, roll over!
