Down With The King Lyrics By Run D M C

    reporters clock producers jock
    they wanna be down with the king
    producers die they wanna be down
    wanna be down with the king

    run
    down with the king for years about ten of ’em
    recruiting suckers mackin’ mic and makin’ men of ’em
    tears and fears for my peers they rippin’
    you think that it is it is if not it isn’t
    race for the border my daughter cause beats you’re bangin’ out
    jeeps rockin’ beats in the streets when there’s time for hangin’ out
    gather or rather form a circle around a loud
    ’cause brothers or others could never ever rock a crowd
    is it because he’s runnin’ off with the mouth
    or was he really clearly tryin’ to play a nigga out
    nope shut him down the king with a crown
    ’cause all you wanna be is diggy down

    hook
    down with the king
    the king down with the king x7
    the king

    cl smooth
    two years ago a friend of mine
    asked me to say some mc rhymes
    so i said this rhyme i’m about to say
    the rhyme was meeca and it went this way
    recollect a mecca mic check on the windmill skills
    mac distracts wearing godfather hats
    it’s okay to parlay to forte better
    tell ’em my nigga made a sweater tougher than leather
    swing another rodney king thing and i’ll wreck
    but just like the white one i get no respect
    money stay awake ’cause them other niggas are fake
    from hollis to the beacon now your dumb ass is leakin’
    cl and run dmc so rush it
    big time weight before hammer got to touch it
    remember the faces in all types of places
    look ma no shoelaces
    and i’m

    hook
    down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the king the king down with the king
    the king

    dmc
    i’m takin’ the tours i’m wreckin’ the land
    i keep it hardcore because it’s dope man
    these are the roughest toughest words i ever wrote down
    not meant for a ho like a slow jam check it
    sucka emcees could never swing with d
    because of all the things that i bring with me
    only god could be a king to me
    and if the god be in me then the king i be
    the microphone is branded when it’s handed to me
    i was planted on this planet and i plan to emcee
    the emcee fiends only seem to agree
    that i rock all the world and the society
    outrageous on the stages with a tune of verse
    i give praises from these pages to the universe
    my voice is raw my lyrics is law
    i keep it hardcore like you never saw

    hook
    down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the king the king down with the king
    the king

    4 pete rock
    i’m the man you see in the place to be
    i went to john jay university
    and since kindergarten i acquired the knowledge
    and after twelve grade i went straight to college
    down with the kings on the mic a full swinger
    the p to the r not an rb singer
    the r to the undmc’n
    the fly human beings tonight i hold the key and
    flowin’ with the funk track here to soul brother black
    pick up the bass better yet leave a space
    so let me put my big black twinkie on in to the early mornin’
    had skins yawning’
    mecca yo you want the mecca yo
    i’ll make a funky beat so we can blow check it out
    pete rock’s the beat knock put you in a headlock
    and now all the outty out flock is down with the king

    hook
    down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the king the king down with the king
    the king

    down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the king the king down with the king
    the king down with the
    the king down with the
    the king down with the
    the king down with the
    the king down with the king
