[Verse 1]
[Em][Run-D.M.C.]
Inconceivable, unbelievable
Grammar like a hammer
information receivable
Sent by the Lord, here and abroad
With words [A]well [Bb]adored now[A]
they [Gm]can't [A]be ig[D]nored!
[Em][Run] The force

[Verse 2]
of course that
makes Run the boss
So get lost because I just toss [G]a punk
[D]Mak[Em]e way today and if I may I say
I make pay with Jay,
so get away OKAY?

[Verse 3]
Gainin' [Em]weight,
I ate the whole plate today
Never rate the great, I go state to [D]state
[Em]Just peep and keep but
don't sleep or weep
Get deep to leap or I'll [A]beep the [G5]Jeep

[Verse 4]
Put [Em]down the clown, get 'round the town
I found the sound that I
pound [G]the ground[Em]
Get paid and laid, not 'jayed or 'fraid
So I stayed and made, not a bad [Am]de bate
[Em]Got a

[Verse 5]
group to troop,
with a shoop de shoop
Shoot hoop then [E]scoop,
[Em]on this loop to lo[D]op
[Em]Goin' off and off, not soft [E]of course
[Em]Just black and back to go back and forth

[Verse 6]
Go [Em]to school and [D]cool, [Em]?? ?? and pull
Got soul and gold and cold hold [G]a j[D]ewel
[Em]Upset the vet, a vet met a Jet
Just let your ??, and I'll [D]win [A]the [D]bet
[Em]Got a

[Verse 7]
punch to crunch,
cold munch for lunch
Not Grady or the lady from
the Brady Bunch
Got cheese in Lee's like
he's in jeans
Charge Visa freeze, on these with ease

[Verse 8]
No [Em]dope to cope, just good to go
There's hope to Pope, big nope [G]for [D]no
[Em]Quite clever and never,
we're together forever
Run-D.M.C. and we're
[Bb]"Tougher [Gm]Than Leather"
[Em]

[Verse 9]
[Em][D.M.C.]
Strong and mighty hard as can be
?? ?? ?? lie press strong [G]as [D]Dee
[Em]Never frightened I'm writin'
fightin' for what's right
Let's keep it ?? in the night
I'm creepin' [D]with [A]my mic
[D]I g[Em]ot to go

[Verse 10]
for broke,
and I ain't no joke
I won't yoke and choke,
'cept you suckers I [D]smoked[Em]
Bumrush and crush, leave em in the dust
This [D]is a must to [Em]rough,
[A]?? [G]?? ??

[Verse 11]
[Em]Only strong survive, and the weak will die
As long as I'm alive I keep
my head up high
Because I'm strong in body,
and smart in mind
I was born to rhyme, as a gift to [E]mankind

[Verse 12]
[Em]No punk or[E] chump,
[Em]never givin' no slack
We'll be killin' a villain and like chillin',
"Yo [D]black!"
[Em]I got a ?? ??, it's me you run from
I'm the king I do my things until my Kingdom
[D]Come![Em]

[Interlude 2]
[Em][D][Em][G][D][Em]

[Verse 13]
[Run] [Em]... 'cause...
I'm
Rough and tough, cold huff and puff
Don't bluff the stuff,
got enough to [D]rough
[Em]Go long and on, no longer so[D]ng[Em]

[Verse 14]
Go [Em]on and on just for pa[A]st the dawn
[G]Put pre[Em]ach and teach,
with a speech to reach
All streets and each, with beats for treats
Got the King Supreme,
may seem the clean

[Verse 15]
With a [Em]beat and a ring, no dream machine
Not a gang to bang,
out to hang with slang
Talking yang and tang,
[D]about [Em]everythang
Just brothers and others,
like fathers and mothers

[Verse 16]
Who [Em]discovered they love us they
think that I've been above us
No crime or time, just rhyme and I'm
Full grown and own, no phone [G]or dime[D]
[Em]Just cut the stuff, til you get enough

[Verse 17]
'Cause we're [D]rougher than tougher and [Em]rougher
[A]tougher [Em]than tough!

[Interlude 3]
[Em][G][D][Em]
[A][G]

[Verse 18]
[Run-D.M.C.] Ah with [Em]a
voice like thunder,
words of wonder
Over all standin' tall and
the suckers fall [D]un der
[Em]Possessed with power,
cowards will cower

[Verse 19]
Ducks we devour hour hour after hour
[Em]Three man riot, you can't deny it
We're [E]so [Em]ill that you
can't [G]de [D]fy it
[Em]Gonna live, POSITIVE, forever,
AND EVER
Run-D.M.C. [Em]an d we're "Tougher
Than [Em]Leather"
