King of Rock

Lyrics

I'm the king of rock, there is none higher
 Sucker MC's should call me sire
 To burn my kingdom, you must use fire
 I won't stop rockin' till I retire
 Now we rock the party and come correct
 All cuts are on time and rhymes connect
 Got the right to vote and will elect
 And other rappers can't stand us, but give us respect
 They called us ill, we're gettin' iller, there's no one chiller
 It's not Michael Jackson and this is not thriller
 I'm one def rapper, I know I can hang
 I'm Run from Run-DMC, like Kool from Kool and the Gang
 Roll to the rock, rock to the roll
 DMC stands for devastating mic control
 You can't touch me with a ten foot pole
 And I even made the devil sell me his soul
 Now we crash through walls, cut through floors
 Bust through ceilings and knock down doors
 And when we're on the tape, we're fresh out the box
 You can hear our sound for blocks and blocks
 For every living person we're a verbal treat
 It's me and DMC, Jay where's the beat?
 Now we're the baddest of the bad, the coolest of the cool
 I'm DMC, I rock and roll, I'm DJ Run, I rock and rule
 It's not a trick or treat and it's not a April fool
 It's all brand new, never ever old school
 You've got the music in your body and you can't comprehend
 When your mind won't wiggle and your knees won't bend
 Music ain't nothin' but a people's jam
 It's DJ Run, DMC rockin' without a band
 Now I walked on ice and never fell
 I spend my time in a plush hotel
 I stood on many stages, held many mics
 Take airplane flights, at huge heights
 So all you sucker MC's, you gotta say please
 'Cause when he jumps high, I'm pulling down weeds
 Got a song so strong, it's knocking down trees
 Is it hard to believe it's Run-DMC
 I am from, around the way
 And Run goes to school, every day
 And Jay plays the records he has to play
 And we get down with no delay, hey
 I rock the party with the words I speak
 And Run says the rhymes that are unique
 And Jay cuts the records every day of the week
 And we are the crew that can never be beat
 So don't try to diss me, try to be my friend
 'Cause if you do, you'll get yours in the end
 The rhymes we say, shall set a trend
 Because a devastating rap is what we send
 Every jam we play, we break two needles
 There's three of us but we're not the Beatles
 My name is Darryl, you can call him D
 You can call me Darryl Mack, or you can call him DMC
 People always ask, "DMC, what does it mean?"
 D's for never dirty, MC for mostly clean
 Like we said before, we rock hardcore
 I'm DJ Run, I can scratch, I'm DMC, I can draw
 And now we got the knack, to attract
 Our rhyme's an aphrodisiac
 We'll reign on your brain and rock your knot
 When it comes to rock, give it all we got
 To be MC's, we got what it takes
 Let the poppers pop and the breakers break
 We're cool cool cats, it's like that
 That's the way it is, so stay the hell back
 We're causin' hard times, for sucker MC's
 'Cause they don't make no songs like these
 Period
 Don't stop
 MC's
