Ragtime Lyrics - Tougher Than Leather - Run D.m.c.

[Run] 

I. woke up this morning got ready to roll 

Put on my green bomber it was, freezing cold 

Applied longjohns with Adidas not matching 

I called up Jam Master cause I knew he was scratching 

(Whassup?) Jay to the telly music, loud as hell 

He said - "Hold up Run," [DING DONG], "it's the bell!" 

Jay to the door as he leaves the cut 

for his eyes a surprise, "D.M.C. WHASSUP?"

[D.M.C.] 

I need a little help Jay, I got a little problem 

A guy like yourself, maybe you can help me solve em 

I only want to know why this happens all the time 

(What?) Everywhere I go, I start to rap and rhyme 

I rock them in the day (yeah you rock em every night) 

I rock em when I left so def I knew something was wrong (alright) 

I rhyme when I am sleeping, I rhyme when I'm awake 

When I was nine I said a rhyme by putting candles on my cake 

I just came from the bank (you said a rhyme?) A rhyme so funny 

A song about the line so long they all gave me their money 

That's why I came to you, you're my friend (yes that is true) 

Said maybe Jay knows what to say, he'll tell me what to do. 

[Jay] 

Hmmmm. yo you go get Joe, and all the rhymes you made 

And we'll go to the bank, AND WE CAN ALL GET PAID!

Cruisin down the block, in the sixty-six Olds 

Girls are on the jock like the ride was a Rolls 

Feelin kinda great, got change for the toll 

Suckers gotta wait, that's your fate, poor soul 

Heard you on the records and I heard you on the tapes 

Stop, switch the conversation over to grapes, because 

you're not bustin none, so stop fussin son 

You're not down with Rush, they call us Russ and Run 

Since that's the company, you won't be chumpin me 

Here's the man, ask that fan (Run big brother D!)
