Rock On
D.M.N.C Lyrics

For all you sucker mc's perpetratin' a fraud
This is a message to all weak rappers who pretend to be something they're not.

Your rhymes are cold wack and keep the crowd cold lost
Your music is bad and doesn't connect with the audience.

You're the kind of guy that girl ignored
You're not cool enough to get a girl's attention.

I'm drivin' caddy, you fixin 'a ford
I am successful and you are not.

My name is joseph simmons but my middle name's lord
My name is Joseph Simmons (a.k.a Run), but I am also known as the Lord.

And when I'm rockin' on the mic, you should all applaud
When I perform music, the audience should cheer.

Because we're (wheelin', dealin', we got a funny feelin')
We are successful and have an exciting vibe.

We rock from the floor up the ceilin'
Our music is enjoyed by all and has a big impact.

We groove it (you move it) it has been proven
Our music is so good that people dance to it.

We calmed the seven seas because our music is soothin'
Our music is calming and can even stop waves in their tracks.

We create it (relate it) and often demonstrate it
We create our music and often show it to others.

We'll diss a sucker mc make the other suckers hate it
We will insult bad rappers to make others dislike them.

We're rising (surprising) and often hypnotizing
We are becoming more successful and can even mesmerize people.

We always tell the truth and then we never slip no lies in
We always tell the truth and don't hide anything.

No curls (no braids) peasy-head and still get paid
We don't have fancy hairstyles but still make money.

Jam master cut the record up and down and cross-fade
Our DJ is skilled and can manipulate the music.

Because the rhymes I say, sharp as a nail
My lyrics are clever and cutting.

Witty as can be and not for sale
My humor is unique and can't be bought.

Always funky fresh, could never be stale
Our music is always new and cool.

Took a test to become an mc and didn't fail
I was tested to become a rapper and passed with flying colors.

I couldn't wait to demonstrate
I was excited to show off my skills.

All the super def rhymes that I create
All the awesome lyrics I write.

I'm a wizard of a word, that's what you heard
I am very skilled with words and rhyme.

And anything else is quite absurd
Anything else is ridiculous.

I'm the master of a mic, that's what I say
I am the best rapper and I know it.

And if I didn't say that, you'd say it anyway
Even if I didn't claim to be the best, people would say it anyway.

Bust into the party, come in the place
We entered the party with energy.

See the first things come, the music in your face
The first thing you notice is the loud music.

Tears down the walls, some of the floor
Our music is so powerful it could damage the building.

With the dj named jay with the cuts galore
Our DJ, named Jay, had many amazing sound effects.

So listen to this because it can't be missed
Our music is too good to ignore.

And you can't leave til you're dismissed
Don't leave until the performance is over.

You can do anything that you want to
You can dance or move however you like.

But you can't leave until we're through
Wait until the performance is over before you go.

So relax your body and your mind
Let yourself enjoy the music.

And listen to us say this rhyme - hey
Listen to our lyrics and enjoy!

You might think that you have waited
You may think you've been waiting for a long time.

Long enough til the rhyme was stated
You've been waiting a while for us to start rapping.

But if it were a test it would be graded
If our music was a test, it would get a high score.

With a grade that's not debated
It's clear that our music is amazing.

Nothing too deep and nothing dense
Our lyrics are straightforward and easy to understand.

And all our rhymes make a lot of sense
Our lyrics are logical and meaningful.

So move your butt, to the cut
Dance to the music and enjoy it.

Run amuk, you're not in a rut
Have fun and don't feel stuck.

Each and everybody out there, we got the notion
We believe that everyone likes our music.

We want to see y'all all in motion
We want everyone to dance.

Just shake, wiggle jump up and down
Dance however you like- shake, wiggle, jump, or just move your body.

Move your body to the funky sound
Dance to our funky music.

Side to side, back and forth
Move in different directions.

We're the two mc's, and we're gonna go off
We are the two rappers, and we'll give a great performance.

Stand in place, walk or run
Stay in one spot or move around as you dance.

Tap your feet, you'll be on the one
Tap your feet to the beat of the music.

Just snap your fingers and clap your hands
Clap or snap your fingers along with the music.

Our dj's better than all these bands
Our DJ is even better than the bands that play instruments.
