[DMC]
I open doors taking pours doing tours then I come again,
Run'll be running up in the suckers I be running them fiendish, DJ run'll be
Coming and getting fiendish, I tap your back and my it serves a mean dish

I've got my mike in my hand and my plan to come,
Official DJ rapper known as DJ run,
All of ya sucker rappers well you dissed my son,
I went behind the insta freeze I froze ya numb,

[Run]
Pump, pump I scream on you your talking gsoft,
Pump, pump run your round the track and walk it off,

So check for me taking a weapon or even stepping to my foes even those of
Dose are usually driving separate rows broken nose from blows from when you
Rap when I pounce on my foes suppose I swing an ep and just bounce!

[DMC]
My name is DMC, the one ya know,
The all time great gonna steal the show,
I put the mike, inside my hand,
And spread the funky rhythm all across the land,
I'm blowing your mind, the rhyme I flow,
I hit you with the rhythm and they give me dough,
I'm blowing your mind, the one of a kind,
I figit wid tha digits when I rock my rhyme,
I bust a vien, inside my brain,
I came wid da name and I claim the fame,
'm hard to the core, rickit and roar,
My rhymes break more when I'm breaking your door,
Kick it l style cause I stick a still rock
Take a take a chill knock
Cause I got the killer pounce,
Frown y'all sicken knock y'all up or down,
I take ya suckers out cause I make a sucker bounce!

I got no time for the crime I'm the kind to rhyme,
There is no sign of my mind slipping off the line,
And if you find of the dime that I left behind,
I come fast with my cash, I must rewind

Easy does it run I do it speaking fluent vocabulary,
Vocal be making them come to it in a have you berry,
Often losten run'll run a Boston confuse ya lose ya all shook up in a sauce
Pan I stir ya stir ya all shake it cause I'm diesel drop hip-hop and then
Pop goes the weasel coming and running I seek a deli for my kingdom taking my
Lyrics at first they hear it then they sing them

I take a sucker then do him the head and screw him first




I chew him and I do him and then I step it to him it's a dilly operation
I ruin all those I'm doing I pursue em and then ruin and do em you come too em just bounce

My mum actually put me on RunDMC as a kid trying to play an example of music she didn't like haha. The "bounce" chorus later became a running thing to quote between my friends, usually when bouncing on something. I don't know if they ever listened to it like I did but I still like RunDMC to this day and was my introduction to some of the first rap I ever listened to as I got access to discovering my own music around 2014-2015.

I heard this on my big brother's friend's system (4 12" kickers) the bass was an instant hook. I was 12. I had a full system for my ride before I even had a learners permit! Ever since that time I always had an insane system. Won a few db drags and two state titles. Best days of my life! I still build systems now. At 40 I still always have a big place in my heart for what artists started the bass revolution! Long live Run!
