[Run] Let`s begin, to talk!!
[D.M.C.]
1990, and this is what`s goin on
to the break of dawn
24/7, Run-D.M.C. in effect
That`s ??
All those weak-rhymin, rewindin MC`s
[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 what`s 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 you`re down, you cold dissed him
Shut up, cause I`m fed up, with this culture
And flyin high in the sky, a big vulture
Waitin and debatin, to see who`s 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 we`re bout to be black
and my word is born
My word is born
My word is born
My word is born
[D.M.C.]
Let`s, let`s..
Let`s begin to talk truth -- it seems
that y`all 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
They`ll soup you up, til you think you`re large
Got a spot on tour, but I`m still in charge
A big nigga`s hittin it, don`t 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.]
1990`s
And ain`t nuttin changed, PUNK!
