Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
Don't got regret but I wish that we never met
I wish we met in 5 years
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
Don't got regret but I wish that we never met
Will this be
The last time that you'll ever kiss me
Saying that I'll be okay and that you'll miss me
We got misty eyes, easy to hypnotize
Dealt with this shit better
When I was fifteen
Quickly, get me out don't care bout which scene
Put me on a plane, send me to a new city ya
Pretty risky huh
Wish I could quit you but
I'm addicted to the way you make me miserable
I've been doing shit that probably would just piss you off
I've been sippin' on the bottle just a bit too much
I've been holding full throttle but I skipped the clutch
If I ever start moving can I pick you up
I'm just kidding ya
Not tryna' push my luck
Even when I'm drinking know I shouldn't hit you up
Wanna remember us, not by the hurt or cuts
But by the fact that you're the very first girl I loved
The very first girl I loved
You really taught me so much
Now we gotta look above
Cause where you we go but up
And where do we go from here
I wish that all that were clear
I wish I could keep you near
For now I'll just disappear
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
Don't got regret but I wish that we never met
I wish we met in 5 years
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
Don't got regret but I wish that we never met
I wish we met in 5 years
Where, where, where
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
Go go from here
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
Go go go go
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
We go from here
Where do we go from here
Where do we
Go go go go go go go go go go go go
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
Don't got regret but I wish that we never met
I wish we met in 5 years
Where do we go from here
Where do we go from here
Don't got regret but I wish that we never met
I wish we met in 5 years

I desire to end our connection but
I'm addicted to the way you make me miserable

But by the fact that you're the very first girl I loved
But due to the reality that you were my initial love interest
You really taught me so much
You truly educated me extensively
Now we gotta look above
Now we have to focus on what is beyond us
Cause where you we go but up
Because with you, we can only progress
And where do we go from here
And where should we proceed from this point
I wish that all that were clear
I desire for everything to be unambiguous
I wish I could keep you near
I wish I could have you close to me
For now I'll just disappear
Currently, I will simply vanish
Go go from here
Start moving away from this place
Go go go go
Move, move, move, move
We go from here
Our path starts from this point
Go go go go go go go go go go go go
Move, move, move, move, move, move, move, move, move, move, move, move

How y'all feel out there?
Aw yeah alright aight, check this out
One two three, in the place to be
As it is plain to see
He is DJ Run, and I am D.M.C
Funky fresh for nineteen- eighty three
DJ jam master Jay
Inside the place with all the bass
He leaves without a trace
And he came here tonight to get on your case
And we are the krush groovin', the body-movin'
The record makin', and the record breakin
And it goes a little somethin' like this
It goes a one two three and
Here we go here we go
Here we go, here we go, here we here we here we go
D.M.C. and DJ Run, dum diddy-dum diddy-diddy-dum-dum
We're rockin' on the mic and then you know where we're from
Dum diddy-dum diddy-diddy-dum-dum
We hope y'all ready for the big beat drum
Drum diddy-drum diddy-diddy-drum-drum
So people in the place here the big beat come
Here it come, here it come, here it kiddi-come-come
Come on everybody let's all get down
What we have is a brand new sound
So nobody out there be misled
We make up all these rhymes inside our head
The other MC's cannot compete
When we rap on the mic to this big beat
The beat is big it's kind of large
And when we're on the mic, wer' re in charge
It's like that y'all (that y'all)
It's like that y'all (that y'all)
It's like that-a-tha-that, a-like that y'all (that y'all)
Cool chief rocker, I don't drink vodka
But keep a bag of cheeba inside my locker (huh)
Go to school everyday (huh)
Always time to get paid (ha huh)
Cause I'm rockin' on the mic until the break of day
And now the things I do make me a star
And you can be too if know who you are
Just put your mind to it, you'll go real far
And the next thing you know you'll have a big car
A-liggy liggy liggy liggy liggy
Listen to the beat, here I say
Because it's not routine, it's the way I play (hahh-ahh)
Spit come out my mouth all time of the day a then ahh
And most the time, Jam Master Jay
Hey they used to call me Easy Dee
Because I rapped on the mic so easily
But now they call me D.M.C
(He's) D.M.C. of the party
The D's for doin' it all of the time
M is for the rhymes, that are all mine
C's for cool cool as can be
(And why you wear those glasses) So I can see
Rhymes so def, rhymes rhymes galore
Rhymes that you've never even heard before
Now if you say you heard my rhyme, we gonna have to fight
'Cause I just made the motherfuckers up last night
Kick off your shoes, relax your feet
Party on down to the DJ Run beat
The beat to get you up and get you outta your seat
Make you boogie to this (party) cause you know it's unique
Wait a tiny minute, don't break on me
My rhymes come faster as the DJ cheats(?)
The DJ cuts the record for the valley below
Then I boogie your ass, 'til it's time to go
And when it's time to go girls, takin' you home
So straighten your dress up, bout your hair use a comb
Well I'm the microphone master, super rhyme maker
I get def as the others get faker
It's me D.M.C. in the place to be
And I still got the same old harmony
I'm the Deva statin, mic controller
The word wizard and the chief rock HOLDER
Bad b-boy made for the b-girls
Rock rulin' rhymes as the turntable twirls
Supreme leader was born to talk
And over any 'corded rap king, I'll exalt(?)
I'm from Hollis Queens and the games we play
See these games most everyday
People ridin' round town, think hot rods
Get paid real well, don't have jobs
We've got pickpockets, thieves, gamblin' man
Bettin' twenty to one, right against your friend
We've got 'em all out there, doin' their best
Play slick games and avoid arrest
Now the games of life, are really fun
But you had to play the game until the game is done
So play on to the break of dawn
As we rock y'all on to the early morn'
He's jam master Jay, the big beat blaster
HE gets better cause he know he has to
It's eighty-three and he's a little faster
And only practice makes a real jam master
JMJ are the letters of his name
Cuttin' and scratchin' are the aspects of his game
So check out the master as he cuts these jams
Then look at us with the mics in our hands
Then take a count, one two three
Jam master Jay, (Run)-D.M.C
