Sucker MC's who did not learn

If you don't this time, we shall return



The beat is big, it's kind of large

And when we're on the mic, we're in charge

It's like that y'all (that y'all) like that y'all (that y'all)

Like that-a-tha-that a-like that y'all (that y'all)



Cool chief rocker, I don't drink vodka

But keep a microphone inside my locker

Go to school everyday, on the side makin pay

Cause I'm rockin on the mic until the break of day



And now the things I do make me a star

And you could be too if you know who you are

Just put your mind to it, you'll go real far

Like a pedal to the metal when you're drivin a car



...Liggy-liggy-liggy-listen to the things that I say

Because it's not routine, it's the way I play

Just come out my mouth all time of the day

And then I must have time to give it away



Hey, they used to call me Easy Dee

Cause I rapped on the mic so easily

But now they call me D.M.C.

(He's) the Emcee of the party

The D's for doin it all of the time

The M's for the rhymes that are all mine

The C's for cool, cool as can be

(And why you wear those glasses?) So I can see



Huh-huh



Got rhymes so def, rhymes, rhymes galore

Rhymes that you never even heard before

Now if you say you heard my rhymes, we're gonna have to fight

Cause I just made the super-def rhymes last night



Microphone master, super rhyme maker

I get def as the others get faker

It's me, D.M.C. in the place to be

And I still got the same old harmony

I'm the devastatin mic-controller

The word wizard and the chief rock roller

Bad b-boy made for the b-girls

Rock ruler rhymes as the turntable twirls

Supreme being who was born to talk

And over sucker MC's all day I walk



A few years ago my name was Joe

And then I went to a party, cold stole the show

Stole it as sure as birds have wings

Now they're callin me DJ Running Things

Got Kurtis Blow down with the two

And my man Larry Lah makes beats for you

Keepin up the funky beat is the Hollis Crew

So Dee, take the mic cause you know I'm through



In case you wonder what all this means

We're funky fresh from Hollis, Queens

Run and Kurt both down with me

And that's the way it's meant to be

I'm the microphone master D.M.C.

Devastatin mic-controller personality

And to the sucker MC's who did not learn

If you don't this time we shall return...
