Yeah, gotta say what’s up to my n—a Slick Rick
For those who don’t like it, eat a d–k
But for those who with me, sing that s–t
As it go a little something like this

La Di Da Di, we likes to party
We don’t cause trouble, we don’t bother nobody
We’re, just some n—az who’re on the mic
And when we rock up on the mic we rock the mic (right)
For all my Doggs keepin y’all in health
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
Cuz it’s cool when ya cause a cozy conditioning
Which we create, cuz that’s our mission
So listen close, to what we say
Because this types of shit happens every-day
I woke up around 10 o’clock in the mornin
I gave myself a stretch up, a mornin yawn and
went to the bathroom to wash up
I threw some soap on my face and put my hands up on a cup
and said um “Mirror mirror, on, the wall
Who is the top Dogg of them all?”
There was a rubble dubble, five minutes it lasted
The mirror said, “You are you conceited bastard”
Well that’s true, that’s why we never have no beef
So I slipped off my khakis and my gold leaf
Used Oil of Olay, cause my skin gets pale
And then I got the file, for my fingernails

I’m the king of rock, there is none higher
Sucker MC’s should call me sire
To burn my kingdom, you must use fire
I won’t stop rockin’ till I retire

Now we rock the party and come correct
Our cuts are on time and rhymes connect
Got the right to vote and will elect
And other rappers can’t stand us, but give us respect

They called us and said we’re gettin iller
There’s no one chiller
It’s not Michael Jackson and this is not Thriller
As one def rapper, I know I can hang
I’m Run from Run-DMC, like Kool from Kool and the Gang
Roll to the rock, rock to the roll
DMC stands for devastating mic control
You can’t touch me with a ten foot pole
And I even made the devil sell me his soul
