Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two years ago, a friend of mine
Asked me to say some M.C. rhymes
So I said this rhyme I'm about to say
The rhyme was def, a-then it went this way
[Verse 2]
Took a test to become an M.C.
And Orange Krush became amazed at me
So Larry put me inside his Cadillac
The chauffeur drove off and we never came back
[Verse 3]
Dave cut the record down to the bone
And now they got me rockin' on the microphone
And then we talk, an autograph, we cheers and laugh
Champagne, caviar, and bubble bath
[Verse 4]
But see, ah, ah that's the life, ah that I lead
And you sucker M.C.'s is who I please
So take that and move back, catch a heart attack
Because there's nothing in the world that Run'll ever lack
[Verse 5]
I cold chill at a party, in a B-boy stance
And rock on the mic and make the girls wanna dance
Fly like a dove that come from up above
I'm rocking on the mic and you can call me Run-Love
[Verse 6]
I got a big, long Caddy, not like a Seville
And written right on the side, it reads, "Dressed to Kill"
So if you see me cruising, girls, just a-move or step aside
There ain't enough room to fit you all in my ride
[Verse 7]
It's on a, a first come, first serve basis
Coolin', out girl, take you to the def places
One of a kind and for your people's delight
And for you sucker M.C.'s, you just ain't right
[Verse 8]
Because you're biting all your life, you're cheating on your wife
You're walking 'round town like a hoodlum with a knife
You're hanging on the ave, you're chilling with the crew
And everybody knowing what you've been through
[Verse 9]
A-with the one, two, three, three to two, one
My man Larry Larr, my name's D.J. Run
We do it in the place with the highs and the bass
I'm rocking to the rhythm, won't you watch it on my face?
[Verse 10]
Go uptown and come down to the ground
You sucker M.C.'s, you sad-faced clown
You five dollar boy and I'm a million dollar man
You's a sucker M.C. and you're my fan
[Verse 11]
You try to bite lines, but rhymes are mine
You's a sucker M.C. in a pair of Calvin Kleins
Comin' from the wackest part of town
Tryin' to rap, a-but you can't get down
[Verse 12]
You don't even know your English, your verb or noun
You're just a sucker M.C., you sad-faced clown
So DMC, and if you're ready
The people rocking steady
You're driving big cars, get your gas from Getty
[Verse 13]
I'm DMC in the place to be
I go to St. John's University
And since kindergarten, I acquired the knowledge
And after 12th grade, I went straight to college
[Verse 14]
I'm light-skinned, I live in Queens
And I love eating chicken and collard greens
I dress to kill, I love the style
I'm an M.C. you know, who's versatile
[Verse 15]
Say I got good credit in your regards
Got my name, not numbers, on my credit cards
I go uptown, I come back home
With who? Me, myself, and my microphone
[Verse 16]
All my rhymes are a sweet delight
So here's another one for y'all to bite
When I rhyme, I never quit
And if I got a new rhyme, I'll just say it
[Verse 17]
'Cause it takes a lot to entertain
And sucker M.C.'s can be a pain
You can't rock a party with the hip in hop
You gotta let 'em know you'll never stop
[Verse 18]
The rhymes have to make
A lot of sense
You got to know when to start
When the beats commence
