Lyrics

[ti:King of Rock]
[ar:Run DMC]
[00:00.66] I'm the king of rock,there is none higher
[00:03.00] Sucker MC's should call me sire
[00:05.38] To burn my kingdom,you must use fire
[00:07.98] I won't stop rockin'till I retire
[00:10.20] Now we rock the party and come correct
[00:11.91] Our cuts are on time and rhymes connect
[00:14.48] Got the right to vote and will elect
[00:17.35] And other rappers can't stand us,but give us respect
[00:44.36] They called us and said we're gettin iller
[00:45.77] There's no one chiller
[00:46.95] It's not Michael Jackson and this is not Thriller
[00:48.93] As one def rapper,I know I can hang
[00:51.81] I'm Run from Run-DMC,like Kool from Kool and the Gang
[00:54.48] Roll to the rock,rock to the roll
[00:56.54] DMC stands for devestating mic control
[00:59.23] You can't touch me with a ten foot pole
[01:01.56] And I even made the devil sell me his soul
[01:08.93] Now we crash through walls,cut through floors
[01:11.27] Bust through ceilings and knock down doors
[01:13.87] And when we're on the tape,we're fresh out the box
[01:16.05] You can hear our sound for blocks and blocks
[01:18.21] For every living person we're a purple treat
[01:20.56] It's me and DMC,Jay where's the beat?
[01:33.43] Now we're the baddest of the bad,the coolest of the cool
[01:35.89] I'm DMC,I rock and roll.I'm DJ Run,I rock and rule
[01:38.69] It's not a Trick or Treat and it's not a April Fool
[01:40.74] It's all brand new,never ever old school
[01:52.83] You got the music in your body and you can't comprehend
[01:55.30] When your mind won't wiggle and your knees will bend
[01:57.71] Music ain't nothin but a people's jam
[02:00.21] It's DJ Run-DMC rockin without a band
[02:07.55] Now I walked on ice and never fell
[02:09.47] I spent my time in a plush hotel
[02:12.24] I stood on many stages,held many mics
[02:14.69] Take airplane flights,at huge heights
[02:17.25] So all you sucker MC's,you gotta say please
[02:19.09] Cause when he jumps high,I'm pulling down weeds
[02:22.30] Got a song so strong,it's knocking down trees
[02:24.55] Is it hard to believe it's Run-DMC
[02:37.25] I am from,around the way
[02:38.62] And Run goes to school,every day
[02:40.99] And Jay plays the records he has to play
[02:43.78] And we get down with no delay,HEY!
[02:47.12] I rock the party with the words I speak
[02:48.70] And Run says the rhymes that are unique
[02:50.86] And Jay cuts the records every day of the week
[02:53.87] And we are the crew that can never be beat
[02:56.05] So don't try to diss me,try to be my friend
[02:58.74] Cause if you do,you'll get yours in the end
[03:01.26] The rhymes we say,shall set a trend
[03:03.62] Because a devestating rap is what we send
[03:15.88] Every jam we play,we break two needles
[03:17.77] There's three of us but we're not the Beatles
[03:20.92] My name is Darryl,you can call him D
[03:23.30] You can call me Darryl Mack,or you can call him DMC
[03:26.33] People always ask,"DMC,what does it mean?"
[03:28.15] D's for never dirty,MC for mostly clean
[03:40.42] Like we said before,we rock hardcore
[03:42.73] I'm DJ Run,I can scratch.I'm DMC,I can draw
[03:45.24] And now we got the knack,to attract
[03:47.61] Our rhyme's an aphrodisiac
[03:50.07] We'll reign on your brain and rock your knot
[03:52.64] When it comes to rock,give it all we got
[03:55.12] To be MC's,we got what it takes
[03:57.36] Let the poppers pop and the breakers break
[03:58.98] We're cool cool cats,it's like that
[04:01.87] That's the way it is,so stay the hell back
[04:04.93] We're causin hard times,for sucker MC's
[04:06.75] Cause they don't make no songs like these
[04:09.74] PERIOD!
