Lyrics

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 'im but d won't be fazed
So what's your name dmc the king is me
Your highness or his majesty
Now you can debate ci ci ci concentrate
But you can't imitate dmc the great!

Dissin' all devils causing havoc in hell
At a very high level bass and treble shall yell
Heard in the heaven of a sound 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 a storm like a beast unleashed
There's no stoppin' cause the rockin' cannot cease!
Break!

You see it's harder than hard, not one bit soft
Courageous and contageous so you better break north
Not a cold on a roll did you hear me cough?
Just listen while I'm dissing cause you're pissin' me off
Cold betting its spreading all across your face
You can't take when I break and if that's the case
I go on and on and kick the bass
So back up off the cup while I take my taste..

It's highly appraised when the hell is raised
So demanding and commanding that you all stand dazed
The unbelieving receiving prophecies 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, symbolizing the sound
Signifying, we won't play around
Bust it!

Rhymin' 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 1
That's how I rate
He's in the place with the bass and styl'n 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

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 shining bright in the darkest night
If you are cold I'll bring you heat
Like I brought the world my funky beat
Mysterious so serious I ain't no joke
Fire from the depths of hell and you can smell the smoke

Kickin' and tickin' while you're havin' a ball
Like chicken finger lickin' I'll be flick'n you all
So do the bird have you heard did they give you a call
Just me and dmc cold shakin' the walls

There's no fearin' when hearin' sound of this kind
Across the land every man is going out of his mind
On the face of the earth spreadin' like disease
Contaminating, infiltrating like a horde of bees!

Lord of lyrics, duke of discussion
Ruler of rock, the king of col' crushing
Ruler of people, controller of crowds
Lingering lyrics long lasting and loud
Left y'all ah to the left y'all
Because I rock upon the mic real def y'all
And to the right y'all ah to the right y'all
Because I rock upon the mic all night y'all

You see I want respect if I'm correct
They're all like a ball that I have checked
And the shots they take have no effect
Some punk tried to dunk but he broke his neck
Cause I rock harder and I get farther
You want to battle d hey please don't bother
To waste your time messin with my rhyme
The only kick you'll get out of it is in your behind!
