Run Dmc

[Run] Lets begin, to talk!!
[D.M.C.]
1990, and this is whats goin on
to the break of dawn
24/7, Run-D.M.C. in effect
Thats ??
All those weak-rhymin, rewindin MCs
[Run] That means you pause
[both] My word is born
[Run]
Yeah, speakin on truth
from the old school on down to the youth
Since the days, that I was the age of
"three"; stop - listen to me
This is how it used to be - "go!"
Stand on another line, why?
You did a crime now the time is mine
I school you and your crew, why?
Youse is my brother
Stop - sellin and killin one another
Take some time, to see whats missin
Brothers in the ?, we on a mission
Thinkin back from the sale you made
and back home, a grave is what your brother paid
His life, because of a system
Now you think youre down, you cold dissed him
Shut up, cause Im fed up, with this culture
And flyin high in the sky, a big vulture
Waitin and debatin, to see whos next
for "brothers and sisters" of the opposite sex
So hold on, keep it intact
and go on, flow on, positive black
B-boys be black be proud, right on
"You know were bout to" be black
and my word is born
My word is born
My word is born
My word is born
[D.M.C.]
Lets, lets..
Lets begin to talk truth -- it seems
that yall make a big out of things that are small
We all play the same game for fame to claim
?? bright lights and write your name
Theyll soup you up, til you think youre large
Got a spot on tour, but Im still in charge
A big niggas hittin it, dont renege
Bust a rap like a cap like a snap of twig
that extends from the hands of a branch on a tree
Like you new jack rappers, run from me
I got proof of truth, I cut and go raw
(Word em up D!) My word is born
[cuts by Jay and samples to the last ten seconds]
[D.M.C.]
1990s
And aint nuttin changed, PUNK!
