Rock You
D. Grady Scott Jr. Lyrics

If I eat, a little kid, sticks his finger in my plate
Even something as simple as eating is not free from interruptions and inconveniences because of my fame.

I be signing autographs, for three months straight
The demand for my autograph is so high that I have to do it for several months to fulfill all the requests.

I got jet-set women, who offer me favors
I attract women who are always on the move and they offer me illicit or unwarranted acts of kindness.

My face is a thousand lipstick flavors
I encounter so many women that kiss me on the cheeks and leave behind their lipmarks, hence my face has many 'flavors' of lipstick.

Need a sip of lemonade, I'm a slave to my trade
I cannot even quench my thirst without being reminded of my profession as a musician.

From all these lights my complexion might fade
The constant exposure to flashing lights may harm my skin tone and texture.

Secretary overworked, by a money hungry jerk
My secretary is working extra hard due to the unreasonable demands of a greedy person associated with me.

Got a letter, answer woman, won't you freak out on my shirt?
I received a letter from a female fan expressing her love for me, and she even asked for my shirt as a keepsake.

Your ears are clogged, your head as hard as a log
You are completely oblivious to my feelings and thoughts, and your mind is rigid and inflexible like a log.

My privacy robbed, let me do my job
I am being deprived of my personal space and time, which hinders my ability to perform at my best.

You funny lookin' slob eatin' shiskabob
You are an unappealing and unkempt person who is casually eating shish kebab.

You're the reason why my eyes are on the doorknob
You are the reason why I am always looking for an exit, eager to escape from your presence.

I'm straining not complaining for a casual life
I am trying hard to cope with the stress of fame and the lack of normalcy in my life, without complaining too much.

Something normal nuttin' formal three kids and a wife
What I desire is a simple, regular life with a spouse and three children instead of the extravagant and formal lifestyle that comes with fame.

I'm dying from the spying that you're putting me through
The constant monitoring and snooping on my private life is taking a toll on me and I feel like I am dying inside.

I perspire I'm on fire when I'm thinking of you
Even the thought of you brings intense emotions out of me, making me sweat excessively and feel fervent.

News reporters, invade my borders
Journalists and media personnel are constantly crossing the line and intruding my personal space and privacy.

If I think it I will say it, you might have a recorder
I have to be cautious of what I say since someone might be recording me with a device without my knowledge.

And then, uh oh, the nation's in upheaval
If I make a controversial or inappropriate statement, it can cause widespread chaos and unrest in the country.

Old dating always thinking at me evil
People are always scrutinizing me and thinking negatively about me, even if I haven't done anything wrong.

You're stepping on my heels, you're breathing down my neck
You are following me too closely and invading my personal space, not giving me any room to breathe or move freely.

I'm not Rodney Dangerfield, so give me respect
I am not someone who can be taken for granted or disrespected like Rodney Dangerfield, and I deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.

What it all adds up to, is just one thing
All the experiences I have had and the things I have gone through only amount to one realization or fact.

Run-DMC is, the king of the swing
The ultimate conclusion is that Run-DMC is the dominant and unbeatable force in the genre of swing music.

And if you mess with us, you'll be a real short liver
If you try to challenge or confront us in any way, you will not live for very long or last very long in the industry.

You may be big but our bodyguard's bigger
Even if you are powerful or influential, we have a larger and stronger bodyguard to protect us against any threats.
