Word Is Born Lyrics - Back From Hell - Run D.m.c.

[Run] Let's begin, to talk! 

[D.M.C.] 

1990, and this is what's goin on 

to the break of dawn 

24/7, Run-D.M.C. in effect 

That's? 

All those weak-rhymin, rewindin MC's 

[Run] That means you pause 

[both] My word is born 

[Run] 

Yeah, speakin 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 another line, why? 

You did a crime now the time is mine 

I school you and your crew, why? 

Youse is my brother 

Stop - sellin and killin one another 

Take some time, to see what's missin 

Brothers in the?, we on a mission 

Thinkin back from the sale you made 

and back home, a grave is what your brother paid 

His life, because of a system 

Now you think you're down, you cold dissed him 

Shut up, cause I'm fed up, with this culture 

And flyin high in the sky, a big vulture

So hold on, keep it intact 

and go on, flow on, positive black 

B-boys be black be proud, right on 

"You know we're bout to" be black 

and my word is born 

My word is born 

My word is born 

My word is born 

[D.M.C.] 

Let's, let's. 

Let's begin to talk truth -- it seems 

that y'all make a big out of things that are small 

We all play the same game for fame to claim 

? bright lights and write your name 

They'll soup you up, til you think you're large 

Got a spot on tour, but I'm still in charge 

A big nigga's hittin it, don't renege 

Bust a rap like a cap like a snap of twig 

that extends from the hands of a branch on a tree 

Like you new jack rappers, run from me 

I got proof of truth, I cut and go raw 

(Word em up D!) My word is born 

[cuts by Jay and samples to the last ten seconds] 

[D.M.C.] 

1990's 

And ain't nuttin changed, PUNK!
