Dmc Run Down With The King Lyrics

Down With The King Lyrics

featuring Pete Rock and CL Smooth  

  

 [Chorus]  

  

 down with the king for years  about ten of 'em  

 recruiting suckers  Mac and Mike  and makin' men of 'em  

 tears and fears for my peers  they rippin'  

 you think that it is  it is  if not it isn't  

 race for the border my daughter  'cause beats you're bangin' out  

 jeeps rockin' beats in the streets when there's time for hangin' out  

 gather  or rather form a circle around a loud  

 'cause brothers or others could never ever rock a crowd  

 is it because he's runnin' off with the mouth  

 or was he really clearly tryin' to play a nigga out  

 nope, shut him down, the king with a crown  

 'cause all you wanna be is dicky down  

  

 [Chorus]  

  

 (CL Smooth)  

 two years ago, a friend of mine  

 asked me to say some MC rhymes  

 so I said this rhyme I'm about to say  

 the rhyme was meeca, and it went this way  

 wrecka lecka mecca mic check on the windmill skills  

 Mac distracts, wearing Godfather hats  

 it's okay to parlay to fortee better  

 tell 'em my nigga made a sweater tougher than leather  

 swing another Rodney King thing in our right  

 but just like the white one I get no respect  

 money stay awake, 'cause them other niggas are fake  

 from Hollis to the Becon, now your dumb ass is leakin'  

 C.L. and Run DMC so rush it  

 big time way before Hammer got to touch it  

 remember the faces in all types of places  

 look Ma, no shoelaces  

 and I'm....  

  

 [Chorus]  

  

 I'm takin' the tours, I'm wreckin' the land  

 I keep it hardcore because it's dope man  

 these are the roughest toughest words I ever wrote down  

 not mean for a hoe like a slow jam, check it  

 sucka emcees could never swing with D  

 because of all the things that I bring with me  

 only G-O-D could be a king to me  

 and if the G-O-D be in me, then the king I be  

 the microphone is granted when it's handed to me  

 I was planted on this planet and I plan to emcee  

 the emcee fiends only seem to agree  

 that I rock all the world and the society  

 I rages on the stages with a tune of verse  

 I get praises from these pages to the universe  

 my voice is raw, my lyrics is law  

 I keep it hardcore like you never saw  

  

 [Chorus]  

  

 (Pete Rock)  

 I'm the man you see, in the place to be  

 I went to John Jay University  

 and since kindergarten I acquired the knowledge  

 and after twelve grade I went straight to college  

 down with the kings on the mic, a full swinger  

 the P to the R, not an R&B singer  

 the R to the U-N-D-MC'n  

 the fly human beings, tonight I hold the key and  

 flowin' with the funk track, here to soul brother black  

 pick up the bass, better yet leave a space  

 so let me put my big black ??? on in to the early mornin'  

 had skins doanin'  

 mecca? (yo) you want the mecca? (yo)  

 I'll make a funky beat so we can blow, check it out  

 Pete Rock's the beat knock, put you in a headlock  

 and now all the outty out flock is down with the king
