Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Yeah, one two one two
And I say
As we let the music play
This is dedicated to Ruddy Ray
From all the
homeboys around the way
So def it [C5]won't get an [D5]F
[Eb]Jay receives an A for his essay
Spins til you're dizzy
Born to get busy
Is [C]he the Jam Master?
Isn't he, or is he?
And my [C]name is D.M.C.
The K- I- N- G
The car that I drive is
called a Caddy
The drink that I drink is called O.E.
And I wear my glasses so
I can see
[C5]My homeboy right next to me
[C]His name is DJ Run
Shoots a gift like a gun
Slays suckers one by one
Rather chill than kill
Cause the killing's no [C]fun
So together forever
Crew [C]be tougher than leather
We gonna slay the bad ones
Un[C5]til there are [C]none

[Verse 2]
Run- D.M.C.'s award nominee
The K- [F]I- [Cm]N- G's of all M- I- see's
[C]Like Hercules,
with rhymes like these
Never crackin' not lackin'
and I still pull G's

[Verse 3]
Well I ah, [C]im press the bad,
suggest the rad
Who be less when they 'fess,
against the test

[Verse 4]
And I in[C]sist that this,
with a flick of the wrist
Will be kid not dissed at the top of the list
[C]So go a-

[Verse 5]
head, and stand,
check out the man
With a [C]clan, never ran, and [C5]in demand

[Verse 6]
So [C]just a
Bust a rhyme
It's a must cause I'm
Funky [C]fresh,
in the flesh AND YOU KNOW THE TIME
[Cm]Why don't ya, [C5]bust it [Cm]son
Cause I'm number one
[Cm]Just do it[C], pursue it
Hit it [C5]Run!

[Verse 7]
Yo I'm flowin' and showin' rocks
knots and shockin' the mind
I'm only [C]chillin' and killin',
so won't you check out the rhyme
[C]Meetin' greatin' and seatin',
suckers all in a row
Crashin' mashin' and bash
[C]in', my name is Run, call me Joe
[C5]Fat as ever and clever, an[C]d
never second to none
Wearin' leather and better
(What's your name?) DJ Run
But in the [C]summer's a bummer,
cause I leave em at home
Just [F]Adidas and me,
and ? and [C]D on the phone
Diggin' eyein' the crown,
sellin' skills by the pound
[D]Makin breakin and tak[D]in' all
of the suckers around
Puttin' fear in the heart,
at the top of the chart
Stunning [C]gunning and funning,
cause Run's [C5]running this art
DJ's [C]fa cing the rage,
never [G]losing a show
Cause when the set is a match,
then they're ready to go
Swervin' [C]curvin' deservin',
the grass grow everyday
[F]Cause makin mon[C]ey ain't funny,
ain't that [F]right[C]
[F][C][F][C]
[F]JMJ[C]?

[Verse 8]
Full in effect, set comin' correct Yet
gainin' respect, still breakin' a neck

[Verse 9]
I'm [C]coolin' and chillin',
not foolin' with illin'
On the [C]mission it's thrillin',
and I'll make a killin'
[C]My higher desire,
[G]go high and then fly ya
Makes [C]me the messiah, I'll never retire
I'm spankin' and bankin',
high [G]rankin' and skankin'
[C]Im provising, surprising,
I'm rising and flaking
My boys on the side,
the front and the back
A Cadillac and a stack,
for the King Darryl Mack
Not [C]workin' for free,
pocket [G]full with a G
[C]And they always ask me,
D.M.C., "How'd ya do it Dee?"
On the go [G]with Joe, makin' pay with Jay
All [C]day, why? Cause I'm livin' that way
One [C]wonders, what? How it gets done
I hear [C]questions,
from who? From [C]everyone
I'm cool.,I [G]broke the rule
[C]Breakin' all but laws,
when I break fool
Cause I'm the [C]man..
that was born to rule
Every [C]girl in the world,
and make them drool
[F]It's eas[C]y to be, it's easy to D
It's easy [G]to G, it's [C]easy to me
Want to know how I do it,
got a goal, I pursue it
Got the soul, to get to it, you was told,
so you knew it
The [C]an swers, from questions,
I'm tellin' to thee
Cause they always ask me,
D.M.C., "How'd ya do it Dee?"
