[Run-D.M.C.]
  Kings from Queens from Queens come Kings
  We're raisin hell like a class when the lunchbell rings
  The king will be praised, and hell will be raised
  S-s-s-suckers try to faze him but D won't be fazed
  So what's your name? D.M.C.! The King is me!
  Your High-ness, or His Majesty!
  Now you can debate, c-c-c-concentrate
  But you can't imitate D.M.C. the Great!
    Dissin all devils, causin havoc in HELL
  At a very high level base and treble shall YELL
  Heard in the heavens are the sounds supreme
  So clear to the ear it is sometimes seen
  So loud like a cloud with thunder and LIGHTNING
  So proud to the crowd it is somewhat FRIGHTENING
  No calm in the storm like a beast unleashed
  There's no stoppin cause the rockin cannot cease; BREAK!
    [Run]
  You see it's harder than hard, not one bit soft
  Courageous and contagious so you better break North
  Not a cold, on a roll, did you hear me cough?
  Just listen while I'm dissin cause you're pissin me off
  Cold bedding is spreading all across your face
  You can't take when I break and if that's the case
  I'll go on, and on, and kick the bass
  So back up off the cup while I take my taste
    [D.M.C.]
  It's highly appraised when the hell is raised
  So demanding and commanding that you all stand dazed
  The unbelieving receiving prophecy so true
  I cut the head off the Devil and I throw it at you
  My mighty mic control, already brought his soul
  The rock king is so bold when he rocks and roll
  A black hat is my crown, symbolizin the sound
  Signifyin, we won't play around; BUST IT!
    [Run]
  Rappin and climbin beat-makin every day
  No synthesizer sound, so silence when I say
  I am great, get it straight, cause that's my fate
  My name is Run I'm number one, that's how I rate
  He's in the place with the bass, and style and grace
  His name is J he's here to play, and win this race
  He's off the wall, on the ball, his name is D
  Kind of tall yes y'all, he's down with me
    [D.M.C.]
  From the mountain valley to the deep blue sea
  The word is heard as told by D
  I don't sing I bring, much delight
  Like a star shinin bright in the darkest night
  If you are cold, I'll bring you heat
  Like I brought the whole world my funky beat
  Mysterious and serious I ain't no joke
  Fire from the depths of hell AND YOU CAN SMELL THE SMOKE!
    [Run]
  Kickin and tickin while you're havin a ball
  Like chicken finger lickin I'll be vickin you all
  So do the bird, have you heard, did they give you a call
  Just me and D.M.C., cold shakin the walls
    [D.M.C.]
  There's no fearin when hearin sound of this kind
  Across the land every man is goin out of his mind
  On the face of the earth spreadin like disease
  Contaminating infiltrating like a horde of bees
    [Run-D.M.C.]
  Lord of lyrics, duke of discussion
  Ruler of rock, your king at cold-crushin
  Puller of people - controller of crowds
  Lingering lyrics all lasting and loud
    [Run]
  Left y'all, ah to the left y'all
  because I rock upon the mike real def y'all
    [D.M.C.]
  And to the right y'all, ah to the right y'all
  because I rock upon the mike all night y'all
    [Run]
  You see, I..
    [D.M.C.]
  .. want respect, if I'm correct
  They're all like a ball that I have checked
  And the shots they take have no effect
  The pope try to dope but he broke his neck
  Cause I rock harder, and I get farther
  You wanna battle D hey please don't bother
  To waste your time, messin with my rhyme
  The only kick you get out of is in the behind!
  ttin' behind
