Run Dmc – King Of Rock Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:2 Minute, 59 Second

Im the king of rock, there aint none higher
Sucker MCs should call me sire
To burn my kingdom, you must use fire
I wont stop rockin till I retire

Now we rock the party and come correct
Our cuts are on time and rhymes connect
Got the right to vote and will elect
And other rappers cant stand us, but give us respect

They called us and said were gettin iller
Its dope and its chiller
Its not Michael Jackson and this is not Thriller
As one def rapper, I know I can hang
Im Run from Run-DMC, like Kool from Kool and the Gang
Roll to the rock, rock to the roll
DMCs devestatingly mic control
You cant 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 were on the tape, were fresh out the box
You can hear our sound for blocks and blocks
For every living person were a wonderful treat
Its me and DMC. Jay, wheres the beat?

Now were the baddest of the bad, the coolest of the cool
Im DMC, I rock and roll. Im DJ Run, I rock and rule
Its not a Trick or Treat and its not a April Fool
Its all brand new, never ever old school

You got the music in your body and you cant comprehend
When your mind will whittle and your knees will bend
Music aint nothin but a beat or jam
Its DJ Run-DMC rockin without a band

Now I walked on ice and never fell
I spent my time in a plush hotel
I stood on many stages, held many mics

Took airplane flights, at huge hights
So all you sucker MCs, you gotta say please
Cause youre just high, Im pulling down weeds
Got a song so strong, its knocking down trees
Hitting hard to believe its 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 dont try to diss me, try to be my friend
Cause if you do, youll get yours in the end
The rhymes we say so set a trend
Because a devistating rap is what we send

Every jam we play, we break 2 needles
Theres 3 of us but were 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 is for never dirty, MC for mostly clean

Like we said before, we rock hard core
Im DJ Run, I can scratch. Im DMC, I can draw
And now we got the knack to attract
Our rhymes are an aphrodisiac
Well reign on your brain and rock your knot
When it comes to rock, we give it all we got
To be an MC, we got what it takes
Let the poppers pop and the breakers break
Were cool cool cats, its like that
Thats the way it is, so stay the hell back
We told of hard times for sucker MCs
Cause they dont make no songs like these
PERIOD!
