[Run] Well I rehearsed for the verse and I'm number one

Not the best, not the worst, cause my name is Run

[DMC] And I'm second cause I wreck it, that you want to see

An emcee (like D) inside the place (to be)

[both] And have you heard that he is third and his name is Jay

[Run] I'm Run the A

[DMC] D the Deuce

[both] and Jay's the Tre'



{*Jam Master Jay cuts*}



[Run]

I'm the rapper of the year and this the year of the rap

And I'm never drinkin beer, it's champagne at the tap

And I'm cold makin money on a regular basis

Pullin out, knockin sucker MC faces

Travel round the world with my mind at ease

No Calvin Klein, just wearin Lee's

Got credit in countries I've never been

cause the records I write are in the top ten

The top of the chart, is where I stay

but I also chill, around the way

In Hollis, Queeens, is where I stop

On the streets with the beats is where I walk



[D.M.C.]

When I perform, many hearts I warm

I'm better known, as the Quiet Storm

I don't talk too much but I got beef

When I kill MC's, I cause grief

Devestating mic control is my main goal

My name is Darryl, and his name is (Joe)

The Master of music his name is Jay

Leave us alone, and let us play

We give it up, and turn it loose

We're not like Dr. Seuss or Mother Goose

Sucker MC's like punks who are picking flowers

Go for yours, WE WENT FOR OURS!



{*Jam Master Jay cuts*}



[both] Start at 3, end at 6

Jam Master Jay is on the mix

[DMC] For all the young ladies

[Run] and all the chicks

[DMC] We got all of the girls

[Run] on our tips

[DMC] Don't buy gold lighters

[Run] only Bic's

[DMC] Rock all microphones

[Run] just for kicks



[D.M.C.]

Sucker MC's I will be snuffin

In my pocket I'll keep on stuffin

When I say I'll beat em up I won't be bluffin

They can't beef cause that ain't nothin

But it don't matter, my pocket gets fatter

I got more hats than the Mad Hatter



[Run]

Well I'm the rapper with the mic, drive a Caddy not a bike

Drop a rhyme in your face, and you'll damn sure like

He's an MC with the rhyme know the day and the time

Never ever goin low, cause he only climb

(And Jay's the DJ with the) cut (move your arm) and your butt

So D take the mic, huh hah



[D.M.C.]

Say what? I will not stop, I will not quit

Because some at the top but I'm on the tip

That's as high on the top as you can get

And you best believe, I'll be on it

So before you decide, to try me out

I'm gonna let you all know what I'm all about

I'm a fresh MC, who's on his way

to be an MC with the most to say

And to all those out there, that don't know me

I go by the name of D. M. C.

In the place to be, I will MC

The Master of the Ceremony cause it's easy to D

Control of the mic, is so devestating

that all other rappers you will soon be hating

No matter what race, creed or color

when we pull forward things don't get duller!
