Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Unconceivable, unbelievable
Grammar like a hammer information receivable
Sent by the Lord, here and abroad
With words well-achored and they can't be ignored
For force, of course, it makes fun for force
So get lost, because, I'll just toss the paws
Make way today, and if I may, I say
I make pay with J, so get away, okay?
Get away, I ate the whole plate today
Never rate the great, I go state to state
Just keep the keep, but don't sleep or weep
Get deep to leap, or I'll peep the jeep
Put down the crown, get 'round the town
I found the sound, and I'm pound to pound
Get paid and laid, not J to fray
But I stay to make, not a man to fake
Gotta group the troop, with a stoop to soup
Shoot hoop to scoop, on a stoop to loop
Going off and on, not soft or calm
Just black and fat, to go back and forth
Go to school to cool, not drool or fool
Got soul and gold, and cold bowl of jewel
Upset the bet, I bet met a jet
Just let the pet, and I'll pet the vet
Gotta punch to crunch, cold munch for lunch
Not greedy or the lady from the Brady Bunch
Got G's and Lee's, like bees and tea
Charge fees to freeze, all seas with ease
No dope to cope, just good to go
There's hope to hope, make note for note
Quite clever and never, put together forever
The D.M.C. and we're tougher than leather
Strong and mighty, hard as can be
Perception of the life, we're as strong as can be
Never frightened, I'm right, fight for what's right
Scheming, gleaming, in the night I'm beaming with my might
I got to go for broke, and I ain't no joke
I go yoke to choke, sucker suckers I smoke
Bull rush and crush, leave 'em in the dust
It's a must to bust, bust a move just for us
Only the strong survive, and the weak will die
As long as I'm alive, I'll keep my head up high
Because I'm strong in body, and smart in mind
I was born to find, as a gift to mankind
I was born with junk, never giving no slack
Clearly killing a villain, and I'm chilling, yo rap
I'm not a bum, not dumb, it's me you have front
I'm the king of whom I sing, and you're my king of who?
Cause I'm rough and tough, cold huff and puff
Don't bluff the stuff, got enough to run
Go long and hard, no wrong to sword
Go on and on, just from dusk till dawn
Won't preach and teach, with a speech to reach
All streets in each, with beats for treats
Got the team supreme, may seem to gleam
With a bean to ream, no dream was seen
Not a gang to bang, but I can hang with slang
Talking yang and zang, about everything
Just brothers and others, like fathers and mothers
Who discover the lovers that think they're up and above us
No crime or time, just rhyme and I'm
Full-grown and known, no phone to dial
Just cut the stuff, till you get enough
Coming rougher than tougher than rough on top of the tough
With a voice like thunder, words of wonder
Over all standing tall and the suckers fall under
Possessed with power, cowards will cower
Dumps we devour hour, hour after hour
Three men riot, you can't deny it
Real so ill that you can't defy it
Gonna live positive, forever and ever
The D.M.C., and we're tougher than leather
