Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Run[Am]-DMC
Live for you
(Fresh) fresh,

[Interlude 1]
yeah
[Am][F][G][Am]
[F][G][Am][F][G][Am]
[F][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
For [F]all you sucker MC[G]s
perpetratin' a fraud
Your [Am]rhymes are cold wack and
keep the crowd cold bored
[F]You're the kind of guy that [G]girl ignored
[Am]I'm drivin' a Caddy,
you fixin' a Ford
My [F]name is Joseph Simmons,
but my [G]middle name's Ward
And when I'm [Am]rockin' on the mic,
you should all applaud
Because we're [F]wheelin', dealin',
we [G]got a funny [Am]feelin'
We rock from the floor up to the [G]ceilin'
We [F]groove it, you move
it, it [G]has been [Am]proven
We calm the savage beast because
our music is soothin'
We cre[F]ate it, relate it, and
[G]often demon[Am]strate it
We'll diss a sucker MC,
make the other suckers [G]hate it
We're [F]risin',
suprisin', and [G]often hypnotizin'
We [Am]always tell the truth and
then we never slip no lies in
No [F]curls, no braids,
[G]peasy-head and still get [Am]paid
Jam Master cut the record up and down and
[G]crossfades, okay

[Interlude 2]
[F][Am][F][Am]
[F][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 3]
Because the [Am]rhymes I say sharp as a nail
Witty as can be and not for sale
Always funky fresh, could never be stale
Took a test to become
an MC and didn't fail
[F]I couldn't wait to d[G]emonstrate
All the [Am]su per def rhymes that I create
I'm a [F]wizard of a word,
that's [G]what you heard
[Am]And anything else is quite absurd
[C]I'm the mas[F]ter of a mic,
that's [G]what I say
And if I [Am]didn't say that,
you'd say it anyway
[F]Bust into the party, [G]come in the place
See the [Am]first things come,
the music in your face
[F]Girls on the walls, [G]some on the [Am]floor
With the DJ named Jay with the cuts galore
[C]So lis[F]ten to this because
it [G]can't be missed
[Am]And you can't leave 'til
you're dismissed
You can [F]do anything that [G]you want to
[Am]But you can't leave until
we're through
So re[F]lax your body [G]an d your mind
And [Am]listen to us say this [C]rhyme, hey
[F]You might think that [G]you have waited
[Am]Long enough 'til the rhyme was stated
But [F]if it were a test, it [G]would be graded
[Am]With a grade that's not debated
[C]Nothing[F] too deep and not[G]hing dense
And [Am]all our rhymes make
a lot of sense
[F]So move your butt [G]to the cut
[Am]Run amok, you're not in a rut
[C]Each and eve[F]rybody out there, we
[G]got the no[Am]tion
We want to see y'all all in motion
Just [F]shake, wiggle, jump [G]up and down
[Am]Move your body to the funky [C]sound
[F]Side to side, [G]back and forth
We're the [Am]two MCs and we're
gonna go off
[F]Stand in place, [G]walk or run
[Am]Tap your feet, you'll be on the one
Just [F]snap your fingers
and clap [G]your hands
[Am]Our DJ's better than all
these band[C]s[Am]

[Interlude 3]
Huh
[Am]
[C]We got

[Verse 4]
[F]all the lines and [Am]all the rhymes
We don't drop dimes
and we don't do crimes
We [F]bake a little cake with
[Am]Duncan Hines
And never wear the pants they
call the Calvin Klein[C]s
'Cause [F]Calvin Klein's no friend of mine
[Am]Don't want nobody's
name on my behind
[F]Lee on my legs, sneakers on my [Am]feet
D by my side and Jay with the
beat [F](beat)[G]
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[F]
Jay, [Am]Jay, Jay, Jay, uh, uh
We don't [F]stop
[Am]Don't, don't stop [F](Jay)
One, one, [Am]two, two, three, three
The, the Hollis, Hollis [F]crew, [Am]crew
For, for, for, [C]for, for the [F]love [G]now
[Am]Cool T now, ha, [F]ha
[G]My [Am]man, my man
My, my [C]man Jam [F]Master
[G]In, in [Am]his place to be
Jay, Jay, [F]Jay, Jay, Jay
[G]The big beat bla[Am]ster[C]
[F]Wailin', [G]straight [Am]up rap
[C]Countin' gre[F]en[G]
[Am]All the way [F]live
Re-remember you you don't stop
And, and, and, [Am]and you [F]don't stop
Rock, [Am]rock the spot
[F]Stick 'em and you [G]don't stop,
[Am]hah (stick 'em)
Run [C]rocks [F]it well, huh, well, [G]well[Am]
With the clientele
Krush Groove (young ladies [F]in
[G]the[Am] place)
We're-we're,
we're-we're [F](bass)
We're-we're, [G]we're-we're [Am]in in in
the hottest [F]place
Ha (Cold Crush), so [Am]Larry[F]
Homeboys
Now we're [Am]talkin' autographs[C]
[F]Talkin' autographs and autographs
[Am]Fly girls in the place[F]
[Am]Homeboys
Hollis [G]Crew

[Outro 1]
