[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
|
|
