Run DMC - Rock Show Lyrics






Jump...
Dee...
Jay...
Run...
DMC...

Yeah...!
What...?
Who...?
King...of...Rock...!

I want to rock right now
DJ Run, and I'm claiming my crown
I be internationally known
Even got chrome on my microphone

I ain't stoopid y'all, outrageous
Actin like Run can't rock all ages
So...Joe - act like y'all don't know
Run be rockin since Kurtis Blow

Me and my brother be gettin this dough
Came in the door, said it befoe'
These are the Kings from around the way
Run-DMC and Jam Master Jay...

[Chorus:]

I'm the King (what's up?) of ROCK!
Who am I?
I'm the King (of what?) of ROCK!
WHO ARE WE?
I'm the King (alright, never let ya down) of ROCK!
In the end it's just a rock song
I'm the King (alright, alright, alright) of ROCK!
In the end it's just a rock song

Y'all wanna know what it takes to be
An MC like D in the place to be
Gotta a house on the hill full of family
With the grass more green than a gram of weed

Stars in the cars on the way to my Show
Gettin raw at the pub when they're drinking the mo
With a cigar and the pumps he be getting the dough
And unchanged with the lane and the range of the roll

Just 'cause y'all know my name
Heard my fame and seen my game
Don't mean I'm all about the glitter and glam
The King of Rock - is who I am

Raw - we are - by law
First one rockin' in Adidas y'all saw
Jumped on Tour way back in '84
Jay, Run, D, Macs rock-knockin' at your door

[Chorus:]

I'm the King (alright, never let ya down) of ROCK!
In the end it's just a rock song
I'm the King (alright, never let ya down) of ROCK!
Cause in the end it's just a rock song
I'm the King (alright, never let ya go) of ROCK!
cause in the end it's just a rock song
I'm the King (alright, alright, alright) of ROCK!
In the end it's just a rock song
Who am I?
I'm the King (alright, alright, alright/of what?) of ROCK!
In the end it's just a rock song

    when you read DMC's book and realize he wasn't BSing..

  14. J.... S....

    I call this one "King Of Rock 2001"

  15. R.... ....

    This is just so terrible. How awkward is it with DMC just busting a b-boy stance the entire video without dropping a verse

    R.... ....

    His voice was gone I guess

  16. J.... T....

    RIP Jam Master Jay

    DAMN! I Miss Jam Master Jay Rest in Peace Brother!

  27. E.... S....

    D.M.C. looks real quiet and still posing a good b-boy attitude. So, Rev. Run took care of his own vocals and guest appearances like Third Eye Blind, Nas, Method Man, Kid Rock and Fred Durst (from Limp Bizkit) were filling in for DMC. His vocals wasn't the same at that time and he wasn't feeling like doing rap-rock. Crown Royal was the worst album I ever listen to. It should've been called Rev. Run and Friends. D's voice was messing up and the majority of Crown Royal went downhill and that's how that album led the end of the group's chapter. Jay died a year later in October 2002, Rev. Run moved on as a pastor and doing his own show Run's House (2005-2009) and D.M.C. doing his own thing like his show on VH-1's DMC: Adoption Journey. So now, Rev. Run and DMC currently reunied with two sons of Jam Master Jay doing live shows nowadays. But it's glad to hear DMC's vocals back in action not on Crown Royal.

    E.... S....

    Read DMC's memoir. So good! He even speaks on why he just stood there and turmoil going on inside of the group and himself. Such a good read.

  28. A.... ....

    ROZPIERDOL

    A.... ....

    w chooy

  29. i.... ....

    AMAZING SONG!!!

  30. m.... l....

  31. F.... Y....

    3:00 thom york goes berserk!

  32. F.... Y....

    DMC DO SOMETHING RATHER THAN POSING BADASS!

  33. j.... k....

    coz tony's there and kevin's not....

  34. M.... C....

    it´s great

  35. T.... ....

    I like this video

  36. J.... H....

    I a'int stupid y'all outrageous like the best part

  37. j.... ....

    like any right thinking person i adore and revere classic run dmc, but a decade on this remains one of the worst songs i've ever heard

  38. g.... ....

    I get that this song sounds kinda clashy, but I like it. Not sure why.

  39. g.... ....

    @TheIvar19 "The white dude" is Stephan Jenkins, lead singer of Third Eye Blind. If you listen to it again with that knowledge, it'll be impossible not to hear it. DMC is chilling at the back of the stage for the whole video, which is odd because I could have sworn I heard him on the track. Run is fat because that's how he rolls.

  40. I.... N....

    where's DMC and why is run so fat? and who's the white dude

    I.... N....

    TheIvar19 dmc is there and that's Stephen Jenkins from third eye blind

    I.... N....

    TheIvar19 he's in he background chillin

  41. R.... ....

    @edkelley18 You're wrong. DMC's voice was messed up at the time, so he was unable to provide vocals for the majority of Crown Royal. It had nothing to do with whether or not he wanted to do rock-fused rap songs anymore. He released his own solo album last decade, and the song "Rock On" was a rocker.

  42. a.... ....

    2:26 - the best part of the video :)

  43. M.... ....

    I'm sorry, but me no likey. It's like simon cowell farted, and this is what happened.

  44. E.... W....

    if DMC was part of this it'd be differengt

  45. q.... ....

    why does dmc do nothing but stand during the whole video

  46. F.... N....

    oou yea

  47. M.... D....

    this doesnt work

  48. e.... ....

    @pp22221 DMC refused to sing on this whole CD its not like run wanted to do a solo CD DMC just didnt want to do rock-rap anymore

  49. L.... I....

    SJ looks like a supreme badass

  50. S.... ....

    Wow. I like run dmc, I like Third Eye blind. This however was just douchey.

  51. s.... ....

    I really dont understand why so few views of this song. It us fucking great !

  52. H.... P....

    @wimpman94 Yeah you can see he was just standing there in the vid still depressed over his voice loss....damn. But yeaaa...the whole cd was just run

  53. M.... ....

    THIS SONG IS SO FREAKIN AWESOME!

  54. e.... ....

    @bdhammi rather that then being called a the "n" word dont you think

  55. K.... S....

    This Cd would have been a lot better if D.M.C. would have rapped

  56. N.... B....

    this isint run dmc its run

  57. l.... ....

    Wow! Probably one of their worst records! They could've done so much better.

  58. n.... m....

    fadora or to hats mabye

  59. R.... S....

    I love those hats Run Dmc is wear whats the name of them someone please help me out?

  60. b.... ....

    @rmaslakow a bit racist there?

  61. w.... ....
