Is It Live

Lyrics

[Intro: Run, D.M.C. & Run-D.M.C.] The microphone master D.M.C Cause one, two, three, four casualties You'll be praisin' D down on your knees 'Cause I'm poppin', and droppin', stoppin' all MC's [Verse 1: Run] Connect, eject, and collect respect Get down to the sound 'cause I come correct So when I write, don't bite, and I might check And if I find your behind, I'll break your neck It's the world rhymin' rapper ready to have fun You'll reason with the record 'cause it's made by Run It's def, you was left in a total stun So bust a move while I prove who's number one Got quality and skill both beyond belief Do I steal? Be for real, I'm not a thief Dictator and hater of those that beef That's right, I can fight, and I'm the chief [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2: D.M.C. & Run-D.M.C.] People in the place don't put D down I'm the microphone master the best around There's not too many of my type And all rap titles I will swipe You'll see me talkin' to a girl A sweet young thing with Jheri curls I never ever wore a braid Got the peasiest hair and still get paid [Verse 3: Run] Well I'm dropping MC's with just one punch 'Cause it's the baddest on the booth so call me Captain Crunch Slayin MC's, make 'em walk the plank And what's next? Start the decks while I count my bank [Verse 4: D.M.C.] And I'm the wizard of words, the ruler of rap Not soft, not a sucka', could never be a sap You might get jacked 'cause you talk crap When I bust my rap, they all step back I'm paid on stage, Run's on my left On his right, on the mic, I recite, I'm def Because every performer is only a goner Keep all sissy soft sucka's off my corner [Break: D.M.C.] Is it, is it, is-is it live? Is it, is it, is-is it live? Live Is-is-is it live? Is it, is it live? Is it live? 'Cause Darryl Mac will do things like that [Verse 5: Run & D.M.C.] The sophisticated sound, not soft or sour It's servin' you suckas, sellin' dreams in the shower It's rockin' this party hour, hour after hour If a girly tried to diss this (What's up with that?) I won't allow her Cool chief rapper, I see a girl, I tap her Then I take her on the floor, she don't dance, I slap her The girl starts to cry and the crowd asks me why If Run says "Dance", you do or die
