0:00Unconcievable unbelievable
0:02Grammar like a hammer information recieveable
0:05Sent by the lord here and abroad
0:08With words that were thought they could retort
0:10For force because that makes Run the boss
0:13So get lost becuase I just tossed the poss
0:15Make way today and if I may I say
0:18I make pay with Jay so get away OK
0:21Gaining weight I ate the whole plate to date
0:24Never make the break I don't state the stake
0:26Just keep the keep don't sleep for weeks
0:29Get peeps to leap and I'll bleep the jeep
0:32Put down the clown get 'round the town
0:34I've bound the sound and I've found the crown
0:37Get paid and laid not jade afraid
0:40Cause I stayed and made not a man to fade
0:43Gotta group the troop gotta shoot to shoot
0:46Shoot hoop to scoop or a scoop to loop
0:48Going off and on not soft to con
0:50Just black and back to go back and run
0:54Go to school and cool not drool or pool
0:56Gotta soul and goal and cold and old jewel
0:59Upset the best I met met a jest
1:01Just lest the pest and I am the best
1:04Gotta punch the crunch cold munch the munch
1:07Not Grady or the lady from the Brady Bunch
1:10Got Gs and Lees like Ds and Ts
1:12Charge Bs for freeze or Ds with ease
1:15No d**e to cope just good to go
1:18There's hope the Pope big nope for nope
1:21Quite clever and ever but together forever
1:24Run DMC and we're tougher than leather
1:37Strong and mighty hard as can be
1:40Perception of the life were as strong as D
1:42Every Friday I'm writing write for what's right
1:45It's even deeper in the night I'm keepin with my mic
1:48I gotta go for broke and I ain't no joke
1:51I'm gonna yoke the choke cause of the suckers I smoke
1:53Rush and crush leave em in the dust
1:56Bust the bust those scum who mess with us
1:58Only strong survive and the weak will die
2:01As long as I'm alive I'll keep my head up high
2:04Cause we're strong in body and smart in mind
2:07I was born to bind as the gift to mankind
2:09I pump with jump never givin no slack
2:12I be killin' the villain and I chillin you're black
2:15I'm not a bum I'm not dumb it's me you work from
2:18I'm the king to my beat 'til my kingdom come
2:30Cause I'm rough and tough call huff and puff
2:34Don't bluff the stuff got enough to muff
2:36Don't long it on go long on song
2:39Go on and on just the best be done
2:42Put preach and teach with a speech to reach
2:45All streets in each with beats for treats
2:47Got the king supreme may seem the gleam
2:50With a beam the ream no screen was seen
2:53Not a gang to bang or to hang with slang
2:55Talkin angers ang about everything
2:57Just brothers and others like fathers and mothers
3:00Who discovered the lovers that think they're up and above us
3:04No crime or time just rhyme and lines
3:06For roaming on no phone in time
3:08Just cut the stuff do you get enough
3:12Cause we're rougher than tougher and rougher tougher than tough
3:25With a voice like thunder words of wonder
3:28All alone standing tall and suckers roll under
3:30Possessed with power cowards will cower
3:32Dogs we devour hour after hour after hour
3:37Three men riot you can't deny it
3:39Will so ill that you can't defy it
3:42Gonna live positive forever and ever
3:44RunDMC and we're tougher than leather
Unconcievable  unbelievable
Grammar like a hammer information recieveable
Sent by the lord  here and abroad
With words that were thought they could retort
For force because that makes Run the boss
So get lost  becuase I just tossed the poss
Make way today  and if I may  I say
I make pay with Jay  so get away OK
Gaining weight  I ate the whole plate to date
Never make the break  I don't state the stake
Just keep the keep  don't sleep for weeks
Get peeps to leap  and I'll bleep the jeep
Put down the clown  get 'round the town
I've bound the sound  and I've found the crown
Get paid and laid not jade afraid
Cause I stayed and made not a man to fade
Gotta group the troop gotta shoot to shoot
Shoot hoop to scoop or a scoop to loop
Going off and on  not soft to con
Just black and back to go back and run
Go to school and cool not drool or pool
Gotta soul and goal and cold and old jewel
Upset the best I met met a jest
Just lest the pest and I am the best
Gotta punch the crunch cold munch the munch
Not Grady or the lady from the Brady Bunch
Got Gs and Lees like Ds and Ts
Charge Bs for freeze or Ds with ease
No d**e to cope just good to go
There's hope the Pope big nope for nope
Quite clever and ever but together forever
Run DMC and we're tougher than leather
Strong and mighty  hard as can be
Perception of the life were as strong as D
Every Friday I'm writing  write for what's right
It's even deeper in the night  I'm keepin with my mic
I gotta go for broke  and I ain't no joke
