Word Is Born

Let's begin to talk
1990 and this is what's goin' on
To the break of dawn
24/7 Run D M C in effect that's warning
All those weak rhymin' rewindin' MC's
That means you pause
My word is born
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
You'se 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
Waitin' and debatin' to see who's next
For brothers and sisters of the opposite sex
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
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
1990's
And ain't nuttin' changed punk
