Raising Hell

Run-Dmc. Raising Hell Lyrics
1.Dumb Girl

I'd seen you jackin' jc cause they got him most hazed
If you know about the ladies and all his babys
You diss on his rhymes a million times
And run around town like bonny&clide
You see the move you're makin' the rhymes you're takin'
Will lead the heart breaking and i'm not mistaking
You like his money to be his honey
If it's truth you choose you break big dummy
Dumb girl

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl

I wish i knew why a girl like you
Was to do all the things that you do
I know you want a man but you should understand
Jc ain't d just be his fan
You're not this fine you're out of your mind
And i wrote this rhyme just for your kind
Don't be misled remember what i said
The rhymes of rappers surely not to take in your head

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl

(now) you are the finest girl in the whole school
But they don't call you fly because you're a fool
Because you don't go to class you will not pass
You'd like to go but you're too slow because you're going to
fast
And i can tell you are dump when you walk in the place
Walk around with your dump cold suckin' your face
Always sinning never winning cause you've lost your race
You get high into the line think that measures the ace

Dumb girl
Use me the girl is
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl

Now you're a typical sexteen with no real power
Ha! you funk like this a battle with ya last medium shower
Always guys call you fast but i gonna slow
Always slipping or giving somebody a blow
Giving every guy a try a way good to act
But there's a thing that you're missing
That you can't even buy
When it comes to love you even hit it by keep it
Just silly did it dump did it just played stupid

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl
(use me, stupid as ..)

I want you to listen to the words that i speak
About playing when i'm saying to never be weak
You should use you brain but you don't have one
And when it comes to ??sings?? you don't have none
Yo yo you should know when i come with run
We tell this dumb di di dumb di di di di dumb dumb

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl
Dump with the cap of a bee
Stupid as can be
Right down
Dump
The girl is
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb girl
The girl is dumb


2.Hit It Run

Born to rock around the clock
You can't say i'm not
And in case you forgot
I'm the kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing, of rock!!

I'm the devestating mic controller d.m.c.
And can't nobody mess around with me
I'm the king of rock, rap, and a rhyme
I deal what i feel and it feels fine
If the girl's ?? chase then i will play
Around with sound put down for the rhymes i say
Beats flow from joe and never stop
Better get yourself together let's rock, hit it run!

{*beatboxing*}

You, jump, watch you clock, while i rock your spot
I'm better known to the world as the king of rock
I like to speak my piece when i'm on the mic
I'm the best, or at least, i'm the one you like
And when i serve you deserve to hear what i say
I throw a curve he got the nerve to make a triple play
Now how devestating can an mc be?
My name is darryl, but you can call me d, hit it run!

{*beatboxing*}

It's called, gangsta hard rock, non-stop hip-hop
And it's headed for the top by the rhymes i pop
For every race place color country county or creed
And all of the places that i emceed
B-boy badness to the highest degree
And it can't b-a-boy unless you be d
You can't bust a cherry or crush a grape
And if you ain't got this tape you're in bad shape
Beats flow from joe and never stop
Better get yourself together, let's rock!

{*beatboxing*}

Do.. you.. really believe what's going on
I was conceived and i was born
I once was lost but now i'm found
Tell your bunch i'm boss i run this town
I leave all suckers, in the dust
Those dumb motherfuckers can't mess with us
Beats flow from joe and never stop
Better get yourself together, let's rock, hit it run!

{*beatboxing*}

I.. was.. straight from the start performin art
Climbin up the chart while others fall apart
The three outlaws in the music trade
We won't rob but our job is to get paid
Cause run has fun if jay will play
As i add one more rhyme to say
Now how devestating can an mc be?
My name is darryl, but you can call me d, hit it run!

{*beatboxing*}

I was born
Son of byford, brother of al
Bad as my mamma and run's my pal
It's mcdaniels, not mcdonald's
These rhymes are darryl's, the burgers are ronald's
I ran down, my family tree
My mother, my father, my brother and d
Run-d.m.c. and jam master jay


3.Is It Live

Intro:


The microphone master dmc
Causes 1, 2, 3, 4 casualties
You'll be praisin d down on your knees
Cos i'm poppin, and droppin, stoppin all mc's

Verse one:


Connect, eject, and collect respect
Get down to the sound cos i come correct
So when i write don't bite and i might check
And if i find your behind i'll break your neck
Mr. world rhymin' rapper ready to have fun
You'll reason with the rekkid cos it's made by run
It's def, you was left in a total stun
So bust a move while i prove who's number one
Got quality and skill both beyond belief
Do i steal? be for real, i'm not a thief
Dictator and hater of those that beef
That's right i can fight and i'm the chief

Verse two:


People in the place don't put d down
I'm the microphone master the best around
There's not too many of my type
And all rap titles i will swipe
You'll see me talkin to a girl
A sweet young thing with jheri curls
I never ever wore a braid
Got the peasiest hair and still get paid


Well i'm dropping mc's with just one punch
Cos it's the baddest of the bunch so call me capt. crunch
Slayin mc's, make em walk the plank
And what's next, start the decks while i count i count my bank


And i'm the wizard


4.It's Tricky

Intro

This speech is my recital, i think it's very vital
To rock (a rhyme), that's right (on time)
It's tricky is the title, here we go...

It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on

It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on
time
It's tricky...tr-tr-tr-tricky (tricky) trrrrrrrrrrricky

Verse 1

I met this little girlie, her hair was kinda curly
Went to her house and bust her out, i had to leave real early
These girls are really sleazy, all they just say is please me
Or spend some time and rock a rhyme, i said 'it's not that easy'

It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on
time
It's tricky...(how is it d?) it's tricky (tricky) tricky
(trrrrrricky)
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on
time
It's tricky...tricky (tricky) tricky

Verse 2

In new york the people talk and try to make us rhyme
They really (hawk) but we just (walk) because we have no time
And in the city it's a pity cos we just can't hide
Tinted windows don't mean nothin', they know who's inside

It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on
time
It's tricky...(how is it d?) tricky (tricky) tricky (tricky)
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on
time
It's tricky...tricky (tricky) tricky (tricky) huh!

Verse 3

When i wake up people take up mostly all of my time
I'm not singin', phone keep ringin' cos i make up a rhyme
I'm not braggin', people naggin' cos they think i'm a star
Always tearin' what i'm wearin', i think they're goin' too far
A girl named carol follows daryll every gig we play
Then d dissed her and dismissed her, now she's jockin' jay
I ain't lyin', girls be cryin' cos i'm on tv
They even bother my poor father cos he's down with me

It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on
time
It's tricky...(how is it?) tricky (tricky) tricky (tricky)
It's tricky to rock a rhyme, to rock a rhyme that's right on
time
It's tricky...tr-tr-tr-tr-tr-tricky (tr-tr-tr-tricky)
tr-tr-tr...

Verse 4

We are not thugs (we don't use drugs) but you assume (on your
own)
They offer coke (and lots of dope) but we just leave it alone
It's like that y'all (y'all), but we don't quit
You keep on (rock!) shock! cos this is it...


5.My Adidas

My adidas
Walk through concert doors
And roam all over coliseum floors
I stepped on stage, at live aid
All the people gave an applause that paid
And out of speakers i did speak
I wore my sneakers but i'm not a sneak
My adidas cuts the sand of a foreign land
With mic in hand i cold took command
My adidas and me both askin p
We make a good team my adidas and me
We get around together, rhyme forever
And we won't be mad when worn in bad weather
My adidas..
My adidas..
My adidas

Standin on 2 fifth st.
Funky fresh and yes cold on my feet
With no shoe string in em, i did not win em
I bought em off the ave with the tags still in em
I like to sport em that's why i bought em
A sucker tried to steal em so i caught em and i thwart em
And i walk down the street and i bop to the beat
With lee on my legs and adidas on my feet
And now i just standin here shooting the gif
Me and d and my adidas standing on 2 fifth
My adidas..
My adidas..

Now
Me and my adidas do the illest things
We like to stomp out pimps with diamond rings
We slay all suckers who perpetrate
And lay down law from state to state
We travel on gravel, drit road or street
I wear my adidas when i rock the beat
On stage front page every show i go
It's adidas on my feet high top or low
My adidas..
My adidas..

Now the adidas i possess for one man is rare
Myself homeboy got 50 pair
Got blue and black cause i like to chill
And yellow and green when it's time to get ill
Got a pair that i wear when i'm playin ball
With the heal inside make me 10 feet tall
My adidas only bring good news
And they are not used as selling shoes
They're black and white, white with black stripe
The ones i like to wear when i rock the mic
On the strength of our famous university
We took the beat from the street and put it on tv
My adidas are seen on the movie screen
Hoyywood knows we're good if you know what i mean
We started in the alley, now we chill in cali
And i won't trade my adidas for a ??
My adidas..


6.Perfection


Perfection to d, is quite essential
He has to live up, to his potential

I work real hard all day and night
I get to it and do it cause i want it right
I got bass, (tone), i use, (y'know)
And then i rock (the funky) rhyme (on) the (microphone)
I got a funky fresh (car) with the funky fresh (bar)
I'm a funky fresh (star) and i'm up to (par)
My name is d.m.(c!) down with run and (jay)
Is everything copacetic y'all? (kind of a-o-k)

Perfection (yo yo yo, what we talkin bout, what we talkin bout)
Perfection (most definitely)

I got prescription glasses and my eyes are correct

And if it's not (per-fect) i will perfect

Perfection.. (what we got?)
Perfection

A fly (he won't die) and a little gnat

Run-(d.m.c.), right and exact

Perfection
Perfection.. (c'mon let's get em, tell em d)

7.Peter Piper

Now peter piper picked peppers, but run rapped rhymes.
Humpty dumpty fell down, that's his hard time.
Jack b. nimble, what, nimble, and he was quick,
But jam master was faster, jack saw jay's dick.
Now little bo peep cold lost her sheep
And rip van winkle fell the hell asleep.
And alice stilled her hunger in wonderland
And jam master jay is making out our sound,
The turntables might wobble but they don't fall down.

I got the juice and mother goose both did that thing.
Jam master's gettin' loose and dmc's the king.
Cause he's adult entertainer, child educator,
Jam master jay, king of the crossfader.
He's the better of the best, best believe he's the baddest.
Perfect timin' when i'm climbin', i'm rhymin' at fast.
When he cuts, girls move their butts.
His name is jay, hear the play, he must be nuts.
And on the mix, real quick, and i'd like to say
He's not fat, but he's fast and his name is jay!

It goes a one, two, three and...

Jay's like king midas, as i was told,
Everything that he touched, turned to gold.
He's the greatest of the great, get it straight he's great.
Playing fame cause his name is known in every state.
His name is jay to see him play will make you say:
'goddamn, that dj made my day!'
Like the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker,
He's a maker, a breaker, and a title taker.
Like the little old lady who lived in a shoe.
If cuts were his, he would be you.
I'm not lying, y'all, he's the best i know,
And if i lie, my nose will grow
Like the little wooden boy named pinochio,
And you all know how the story goes!

Tricks are for kids he plays much gigs.
He's the big bad wolf and you're the three pigs.
He's the big bad wolf in your neighbourhood,
Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good!

There it is...

We're run-dmc, got a beat to settle.
D's not hansel, he's not gretel.
Jay's a winner, not a beginner.
His pocket gets fat, other get thinner.
Jump on jay like cows on moons,
People take jay like dish and spoon.
Hands like all, first hails aim,
You'll see jay again my friend!
Huh!


8.Proud To Be Black

You know i'm proud to be black y'all
And that's a fact y'all
And if you try to take what's mine
I take it back y'all - it's like that

Licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-licki-
Listen party people here's a serious song
It's right not wrong, i should say right on
I gotta tell you somethin that you all should know
It's not a mystery it's history and here's how it go
Now hariett tubman, was born a slave
She was a tiny black woman, when she was raised
She was livin to be givin there's a lot that she gave
There's not a slave, in this day and age
I'm proud to be

Black, god damn, i'm tired my man
Don't worry bout what color i am
Because i'll show you how ill, this man can act
It could never be fiction cause it is all fact
And if you get in my way, i will not turn back
I'm proud of my name, my name is darryl mack
I'm black and i'm proud, and i'll say it out loud
I'll share my story with the whole crowd, auuughh!

You know i'm proud to be black y'all
And that's a fact y'all
And if you try to take what's mine
I take it back y'all - it's like that

Dj run, and i run these things
You can hear it loud and clear like when the schoolbell rings
Like martin luther king, i will do my thing
I'll say it in a rap cause i do not sing

D.m.c., the man, that's causin the beef
I got a message for the world so listen up it's brief
Like malcolm x said i won't turn the right cheek
Got the strength to go the length, if you wanna start beef
Start beef!

You know i'm proud to be black y'all
And real brave y'all
And motherfucker i could never be a slave y'all
So take that!!

We're gonna tell ya somethin put your mind in a swirl
God bless the next baby that comes in this world
The world's full of hate discrimination and sin
People judgin other people by the color of skin
I'll attack this matter, in my own way
Man, i ain't no slave, i ain't reelin no hay
Written a deposition, in any condition
Don't get in my way cause i'm full of ambition
I'm proud to be black (and i ain't takin no crap)
I'm fresh out the pack (and i'm proud to be black)
So take that!!

There was a man - an inventor - who invented so well
He invented a fortune - for a man named bell
George washington carver, made the peanut great
Showed any man with a mind, could create
You read about malcolm x - in the history text
Jesse owens broke records, ali broke necks
What's wrong with ya man? how can you be so dumb?
Like dr. king said, we shall overcome!


9.Raising Hell

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 something tryin' to faze ya but you won't be fazed.
So what's your name dmc the king is me
You're hot miss for his majesty
Now you can debate ci ci ci concentrate
But you can't imitate dmc the great!

Dissin' all devils brought in hotter than hell
At a very high level bass, the devils 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
And a cloud in a storm like a beast at least
You cannot stop, you cannot rock, you cannot cease!
Break!

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

It's like a praise when the hell is raised
So demanding and commanding that you all stand dazed
The unbelieving reseeing prophecies are true
I got the head of the devil and i'll throw it at you.
My mighty mic control already brought his soul
The right king is a bowe when he rocksnroll
A black cat is my crown, symbolizing the sound,
Signifying, we don't mess around.
Bust it!

Rappin' and climbin' keep makin' every day
Don't synthesize the sound so it sounds 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 with this plate
He's off the wall on the ball his name is d
Kind of tall get 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'm not sayin' i'm bringing much to light
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 is serious i ain't no joke
Fire from the depths of hell and you can smell the smoke.

Kickin' and dickin' while you're havin' a ball
Like chicken finger lickin' i'll be flick'n you off
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' one hear'n sound of this kind,
Across the land every man is going out of his mind.
On the face of the earth spreadin' like a desease
Contaminating, infiltrating like a swarm of bees!

Lord of lyrics, duke of discussion,
Ruler of rock, the king of col' crushing.
Ruler of people, controller of crowds
Ligeli lyrics all lasting and loud
Left y'all ah to the left y'all
Because i'm rockin' 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 and i'll correct
To haul 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 father
You want a battle d hey please don't bother
To waste your time messin with my rap,
The only kick you'll get out of it is in your behind!


10.Son Of Byford

Aiyyo jay yo jay, check this out

12.You Be Illin'

Verse 1

(one) day when i was chillin' in kentucky fried chicken
Just mindin' my business, eatin' food and finger lickin'
This dude walked in lookin' strange and kind of funny
Went up to the front with a menu and his money
He didn't walk straight, kind of side to side
He asked this old lady, 'yo, yo, um...is this kentucky fried?'
The lady said 'yeah', smiled and he smiled back
He gave a quarter and his order, small fries, big mac!
You be illin'

Verse 2

(to)day you won a ticket to see doctor j
Front row seat (in free!) no pay
Radio in hand, snacks by feet
Game's about to start, you kickin' popcorn to the beat
You finally wake up, doc's gone to town
Round his back, through the hoop, then you scream 'touchdown!'
You be illin'

Verse 3

The other day around the way i seen you illin' at a party
Drunk as skunk you illin' punk and in your left hand was bacardi
You went up to this fly girl and said 'yo, yo, can i get this

She smelt your breath and then she left you standin' in your
illin'
Stance
You be illin'

Verse 4

(for) dinner, you ate it, there is none left
It was salty, with butter and it was def
You proceeded to eat it cos you was in the mood
But holmes you did not read it was a can of dog food!
