Run.. (run..) d.. (d) m.. (m) c.. (c) Rock.. (rock.. rock..) For you! (for you.. for you..) Fresh (fresh.. fresh..)

For all you sucker mc’s perpetratin’ a fraudYour rhymes are cold wack and keep the crowd cold lostYou’re the kind of guy that girl ignoredI’m drivin’ caddy, you fixin ‘a fordMy name is joseph simmons but my middle name’s lordAnd when I’m rockin’ on the mic, you should all applaudBecause we’re (wheelin’, dealin’, we got a funny feelin’)We rock from the floor up the ceilin’We groove it (you move it) it has been provenWe calmed the seven seas because our music is soothin’We create it (relate it) and often demonstrate itWe’ll diss a sucker mc make the other suckers hate itWe’re rising (surprising) and often hypnotizingWe always tell the truth and then we never slip no lies inNo curls (no braids) peasy-head and still get paidJam master cut the record up and down and cross-fade

Because the rhymes I say, sharp as a nailWitty as can be and not for saleAlways funky fresh, could never be stale

Took a test to become an mc and didn’t failI couldn’t wait to demonstrateAll the super def rhymes that I createI’m a wizard of a word, that’s what you heardAnd anything else is quite absurdI’m the master of a mic, that’s what I sayAnd if I didn’t say that, you’d say it anyway

Bust into the party, come in the placeSee the first things come, the music in your faceTears down the walls, some of the floorWith the dj named jay with the cuts galore

So listen to this because it can’t be missedAnd you can’t leave til you’re dismissedYou can do anything that you want toBut you can’t leave until we’re throughSo relax your body and your mindAnd listen to us say this rhyme – heyYou might think that you have waitedLong enough til the rhyme was statedBut if it were a test it would be gradedWith a grade that’s not debatedNothing too deep and nothing denseAnd all our rhymes make a lot of sense

So move your butt, to the cutRun amuk, you’re not in a rutEach and everybody out there, we got the notion

We want to see y’all all in motion

Just shake, wiggle jump up and downMove your body to the funky sound

Side to side, back and forth

We’re the two mc’s, and we’re gonna go offStand in place, walk or runTap your feet, you’ll be on the one

Just snap your fingers and clap your hands

Our dj’s better than all these bandsHuh!!
