28 Contributors Hit It Run Lyrics This song samples “Rocket in the Pocket” by Cerrone. [Intro: D.M.C.] Born to rock around the clock You can't say I'm not And in case you forgot I'm the king of rock! [Verse 1: D.M.C.] I'm the devastating mic controller D.M.C And can't nobody mess around with me I'm the king of rock, rap, and of rhyme I deal what I feel and it feels fine If the sound from the Jay then I won't 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 [Chorus: Rev Run] [Non-Lyrical Vocals] [Verse 2: D.M.C.] You just watch your 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 devastating can an MC be? My name is Darryl, but you can call me D Hit it, Run [Chorus: Rev Run] [Non-Lyrical Vocals] [Verse 3: D.M.C.] 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 you can't be 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) [Chorus: Rev Run] [Non-Lyrical Vocals] [Verse 4: D.M.C.] 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 [Chorus: Rev Run] [Non-Lyrical Vocals] [Verse 5: D.M.C.] I was straight from the start performing art Climbing 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 (Paid) 'Cause Run has fun if Jay will play As I add one more rhyme to say Now, how devastating can an MC be? My name is Darryl, but you can call me D Hit it, Run [Chorus: Rev Run] [Non-Lyrical Vocals] [Verse 6: D.M.C.] I was born son of Byford, brother of Al Bannah's 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 [Outro] Run-D.M.C. and Jam Master Jay
