Tougher Than Leather

Unconceivable, unbelievable

Grammar like a hammer, information receivable

Sent by the Lord, here and abroad

With words well adored, now they can't be ignored

For-for-for-force of course that makes Run the boss

So get lost because I just toss a punk

Make way today and if I may, I say

I make pay with Jay, so get away, okay?

Gainin' weight, I ate the whole plate to date

Never rate the great, I go state to state

Just peep and keep, but don't sleep or weep

Get deep to leap or I'll beep the Jeep

Put down the clown, get 'round the town

I found the sound and I'll pound the ground

Get paid and laid, not 'jayed or 'fraid

So I stayed and made not a bad debate

Got a group to troop with a shoop-de-shoop

Shoot hoop then scoop on this loop-de-loop

Goin' off and on, not soft of course

Just black and back to go back and forth

Go to school and cool, not drool or pool

Got soul and gold and cold hold a jewel

Upset the best, I met, met a jest

Just lest the pest and I am the best

Got a punch to crunch, cold munch for lunch

Not Grady or the lady from the Brady Bunch

Got G's and Lee's like D's and T's

Charge B's to freeze, all MC's with ease

No dope to cope, just good to go

There's hope to pope, big nope for nope

Quite clever and never, we're together forever

Run-DMC and we're tougher than leather

Strong and mighty, hard as can be

The perception of the life, we're as strong as D

Never frightened, I'm writin', writin' for what's right

Not schemin', thievin' in the night, I'm keepin' with my mic

I got to go for broke and I ain't no joke

I won't yoke and choke 'cept the suckers I smoked

Bumrush and crush, leave 'em in the dust

It's a must to bust, the scums who mess with us

Only strong survive and the weak will die

As long as I'm alive, I'll keep my head up high

Because I'm strong in body and smart in mind

I was born to rhyme as a gift to mankind

No punk or chump, never givin' no slack

We'll be killin' a villain and like chillin' (Yo black)

I'm not a bum, I'm not dumb, it's me you run from

I'm the king, I do my thing until my kingdom come

'Cause I'm rough and tough, cold huff and puff

Don't bluff the stuff, got enough to muff

Go long and on, no longer song

Go on and on just for passin' it on

Put preach and teach with a speech to reach

All streets and each with beats for treats

Got the King Supreme, may seem the clean

With a beat and a ring, no dream machine

Not a gang to bang, out to hang with slang

Talkin' yang and tang about everything

Just brothers and others, like fathers and mothers

Who discovered they love us, that think they're up and above us

No crime or time, just rhyme and I'm

Full grown and own no phone or dime

Just cut the stuff till you get enough

'Cause we're rougher than tougher

And rougher tougher than tough

Ooh, with a voice like thunder, words of wonder

Over all, standin' tall and the suckers fall under

Possessed with power, cowards will cower

Ducks we devour, hour, hour after hour

Three man riot, you can't deny it

We're so ill that you can't defy it

Gonna live positive forever and ever

Run-DMC and we're tougher than leather
