Word Is Born Run–DMC

[Intro: Run]
Let's begin, to talk!!

[Verse 1: DMC]
1990, and this is what's going on
To the break of dawn
24/7, Run-D.M.C. in effect
Fast-forwarding
All those weak-rhyming, rewinding MC's

[Run] That need to pause
[both] My word is born

[Verse 2: Run]
Yeah, speaking 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 the ? line, why?
You did a crime now the time is mine
To school you and your crew, why?
Using my brother
Stop - selling and killing one another
Take some time, to see what's missin'
Brothers in the ? like you, we on a mission
Thinking back from the sale you made
And back home, a grave is what your brother paid
His life, 'cause of a system
Now you think you're down, you cold dissed him
Shut up, cause I'm fed up, with this culture
I'm flying high in the sky, a big vulture
Waiting and debating, 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
"Come on! You know I'm proud to" be black
And my word is born
My word is born
My word is born
My word is born
