This is dedicated to Ruddy Ray from all the homeboys around the way Jay receives an A for his essay The car that I drive is called a Caddy The drink that I drink is called O.E. And I wear my glasses so I can see My homeboy right next to me cause the killing's no fun Crew be tougher than leather We gonna slay the bad ones
Run-D.M.C.'s award nominee The K-I-N-G's of all M-I-C's Like Hercules, with rhymes like these Never crackin not lackin and I still pull G's
Well I ah, impress the bad, suggest the rad Who be less when they 'fess, against the test
And I insist that this, with a flick of the wrist will be kid not dissed at the top of the list
So go a-head, and stand, check out the man With a clan, never ran, and in demand
[D] It's a must cause I'm [R] Funky fresh, in the flesh AND YOU KNOW THE TIME [D] Why don't ya, bust it son [D] Just do it, pursue it
Yo I'm flowin and showin rocks knots and shockin the mind I'm only chillin and killin, so won't you check out the rhyme Meetin greatin and seatin, suckers all in a row Crashin mashin and bashin, my name is Run, call me Joe Fat as ever and clever, and never second to none Wearin leather and better (What's your name?) DJ Run But in the summer's a bummer, cause I leave em at home Just Adidas and me, and ? and D on the phone Diggin eyein the crown, sellin skills by the pound Makin breakin and takin all of the suckers around Puttin fear in the heart, at the top of the chart Stunning gunning and funning, cause Run's running this art DJ's facing the rage, never losing a show Cause when the set is a match, then they're ready to go Swervin curvin deservin, the grass grow everyday Cause makin money ain't funny, ain't that right JMJ?
Full in effect, set comin correct Yet gainin respect, still breakin a neck
