Run
J.M Lyrics

A whole lot of superstars, on this stage her tonight
There are many famous individuals on this stage tonight.

But I want y'all to know one thing-this is.... My House
Even though there are notable performers present, this stage belongs to DMC.

And when I say who's house, y'all know what time it is.
When DMC asks who is in charge, everyone is aware of the answer.

Who's house?
Who is the host of this show?

Runs house!
The answer is Run, who is in control of this occasion.

Ah, once again my friend
It's DMC again.

Not a trend for then
Hip-hop music was not a trend at that time.

They said, rap was crap
Some individuals thought that rap as a genre was terrible.

But never had this band
However, no other band could compare to Run DMC.

Till the ruler came
Until Run arrived on the scene.

With a cooler name
With a much better name than any other artist.

Make ya dance and prance and draw the fans to stage
His music made people groove and come toward the stage.

Name is Run my son
The artist's name is Run, who often refers to DMC as 'son.'

Number one for fun
His goal is not to kill, but, instead, to entertain listeners.

Not a gun that's done and get done by none
Run does not use firearms, but he can easily take anyone on.

The others act in fact ya just wack I kill
Run's competitors, to him, are subpar and do not pose any threat to him.

because its fun my son and Run heads the bill!
Run enjoys rapping, and he is in charge.

I'm in the house y'all
DMC is present and ready to get the party started.

And this is how Run DMC will turn it out y'all
This is how Run DMC will put on a great show.

Will my name is DMC,
DMC is introducing himself.

The all-time great
He is one of the best rappers of all time.

I buts the most rhymes in New York state
DMC has written the most rhymes in New York State.

Reporters claw
Journalists try to get his attention.

Producers die
Producers want to work with DMC.

They want to be down with the king!
Everyone wants to work with the best rapper.

The wanted man from the wanted clan
DMC is well-known and in demand.

Wanted by every fan from across the land
Fans from across the country want to meet him.

Not a G.A.N.G from off the street
DMC is not part of a gang and is not involved in street crime.

R. and U.N. D.M.C complete!
DMC completes the trio Run DMC, which also includes Run and Jam Master Jay.

get on the mic and (emcee)
DMC encourages someone to come to the microphone and emcee with him.

Another time I take
Let's try this again.

For the rhyme I make
For the lyrics I write.

Make me mad and sad because the fad is fake
When I hear fake rappers trying to make it big, it makes me angry and sad.

See I do this thing so come pressure this king
DMC is confident in his abilities, so he urges others to challenge him.

One mind I rhyme so all you just break
DMC's rhymes are unmatched, so everyone else should give up.

Cus I'm the best I'm def
DMC is the best rapper out there, no question.

Ask the rest they left
He's so good that he's chased away other rappers.

That's my name my game and we don't need the rep
DMC doesn't need any more fame, he's already established.

So keep the booze you loose and suckas cool your mouth
DMC tells people not to brag unnecessarily or speak unless they have something worthwhile to say.

I set a trap for rap that's crap
He's prepared a trap for bad rappers to fail.

Its Run's house!
The party belongs to Run, and he will make sure it's a good time.

Some underestimate
Others don't realize how significant his music is.

And miscalculate
People are wrong when they assume his music isn't worthwhile.

My intent to create what I call the great
DMC wants to make fantastic music.

Till I make a song that I prove em wrong
DMC is looking to prove his critics wrong with his music.

See my song so strong it'll make 'em come along
His music will draw people in and make them want to listen.

Come in the door
Enter the venue.

Get on the floor
Start dancing to the music.

Hard rock hard hitting hip hop hard-core
His music is intense and hard-hitting.

Causing casualties and catastrophes
DMC's music could cause destruction or other negative results.

And tragedies for the suck emcees
Other rappers could be humiliated by his music.

Use a strategy to get the best of me
Others will try to outdo DMC in any way they can.

You dirty rat emcees
DMC has some choice words for other rappers he dislikes.

Whoever you may be
DMC doesn't care who it is, as long as they're below his standards.

You need to go down south
DMC wants them to leave the area and go elsewhere.

You need to shut your mouth
DMC doesn't want to hear any more from them.

Its all about no doubt just shout cus we turn it out!
It's all about Run and DMC, and they are here to entertain and generate enthusiasm.
