My Adidas
Run-D.M.C. Lyrics

My Adidas
This song is about Run-D.M.C.'s love for their Adidas sneakers.

Walk through concert doors
The members of Run-D.M.C. are entering a concert venue.

And roam all over coliseum floors
They are walking around the arena where the concerts take place.

I stepped on stage, at Live Aid
Run-D.M.C. have performed at Live Aid, a well-known charity concert.

All the people gave and the poor got paid
The concert raised money for impoverished people.

And out of speakers I did speak
They performed on stage and their voices could be heard through the singers.

I wore my sneakers but I'm not a sneak
They wore their Adidas sneakers while performing but they didn't sneak around.

My Adidas touch the sand of a foreign land
Run-D.M.C. traveled to a foreign country and wore their Adidas sneakers there.

With mic in hand, I cold took command
They commanded the attention of the audience while holding the mic.

My Adidas and me close as can be
They have a close relationship with their Adidas sneakers.

We make a mean team, my Adidas and me
They work well together with their Adidas sneakers, like a team.

We get around together, we down forever
They go everywhere with their Adidas sneakers and will always be loyal to them.

And we won't be mad when caught in bad weather
Even in bad weather, they won't be mad at their Adidas sneakers.

Yo, wassup?
This is a casual greeting.

Standin' on two fifth street
They are standing on 5th Street, a popular street in New York City.

Funky fresh and yes, cold on my feet
Their Adidas sneakers are cool and fresh on their feet.

With no shoe string in 'em, I did not win 'em
They didn't win the sneakers, they bought them without shoelaces.

I bought 'em off the ave with the black Lee denim
They bought the sneakers on the avenue while wearing black Lee denim.

I like to sport 'em, that's why I bought 'em
They wear their Adidas sneakers for fashion and sport.

A sucker tried to steal 'em so I caught 'em and I thwart 'em
Someone tried to steal their Adidas sneakers but they caught and stopped them.

And I walk down the street and bop to the beat
They walk down the street while moving to the rhythm of the music.

With Lee on my leg and Adidas on my feet
They are wearing Lee denim on their legs and Adidas sneakers on their feet.

Now I'm just standin' here shootin' the gip
They are standing around and talking.

Me and D and my Adidas standing on two fifth
The members of Run-D.M.C. and their Adidas sneakers are on 5th Street.

Now me and my Adidas do the illest things
They do amazing things while wearing their Adidas sneakers.

We like to stomp out pimps with diamond rings
They use their Adidas sneakers to get rid of criminal pimps who wear diamond rings.

We slay all suckers who perpetrate
They defeat anyone who tries to pretend or lie about things.

And lay down law from state to state
They establish rules and laws across different states.

We travel on gravel, dirt road or street
They go everywhere, no matter if it's on a gravel road, dirt road, or street.

I wear my Adidas when I rock the beat
They wear their Adidas sneakers when performing on stage and making music.

On stage, front page, every show I go
They are always in the spotlight while performing on stage, in the front page of newspapers, and at every show.

It's Adidas on my feet, high top or low
Their Adidas sneakers are always on their feet, whether they are high top or low.

Now the Adidas I possess for one man is rare
One pair of their Adidas sneakers is rare and valuable.

Myself homeboy got fifty pair
Their group has fifty pairs of Adidas sneakers.

Got blue and black, 'cause I likes to chill
They have blue and black Adidas sneakers because they like to relax.

And yellow and green when it's time to get ill
They have yellow and green Adidas sneakers for when they need to get serious and aggressive.

Got a pair that I wear when I'm playin' ball
They have a specific pair of Adidas sneakers that they wear when playing basketball.

With the heel inside make me ten feet tall
Their Adidas sneakers have a heel that makes them feel taller.

My Adidas, only bring good news
They believe that their Adidas sneakers only bring positive things.

And they are not used as felon shoes
Their Adidas sneakers are not used for criminal purposes.

They're black and white, white with black stripe
Their Adidas sneakers are mostly black and white with a black stripe.

The ones I like to wear when I rock the mic
They like to wear those sneakers while performing and making music.

On the strength of our famous university
Run-D.M.C.'s fame has brought attention to their university.

We took the beat from the street and put it on TV
They made their music mainstream by putting it on television.

My Adidas are seen on the movie screen
Their Adidas sneakers can be seen in movies.

Hollywood knows we're good if you know what I mean
Hollywood recognizes their talent.

We started in the alley, now we chill in Cali
They began in the alley and now they hang out in California.

And I won't trade my Adidas for no beat up Bally's
They won't replace their Adidas sneakers with worn out Bally's shoes.
