I Run This (Explicit) - Geto Boys

Just put a mic in my hand I'm 'comin up

With a jam

Conduct a b-boy orchestra the hip-hop band

So before you start about I gotta this

Johnny C 'cause I run this

Hit it

The Grand Dragon of Rhyme here to blow your mind

'Cause I'm a rhythm fanatic and I'm one of a kind

Superiority rules 'cause the king's supreme

I'm cold chillin 'cause I'm def on the hip-hop scene

My jurisdiction is mine and sucker boys will chill

I'm the latest and the greatest you know the deal

Juke Box homeboy the head of the list

Terminatin all suckers 'cause I run this

Hit it

It's bein run by me the Prince of all MC's

Wearin gold 'cause I'm bold with the rappin disease

Terrorize sucker rappers with these rhymes I wrote

Superior damage unleashed by the case I told

I'm feelin lyrics to display the funky rhymes I say

Opponents better be around when I claim my day

Although my rhyme's complete would you forgive my conceit

And only practice a thing that true man's beat

Yo before I start breakin let me stake my place

Holder of a high position lord of all this bass

Rippin suckers like paper 'cause they're just that soft

Since I'm killin all rejectin competition step off

Supreme rapper with the talent musical ballad

For really seek a singer

Practice this my love microphone occupier

The head of the list

You might not be a sucker but I run this

Hit it

I put fear in your heart with the words I say

Drop suckers by three each and every day

This ain't my callin by law they say

I don't take no shorts they got to pay

If you swing at me sucker don't you miss

You might not be a sucker but I run this

Hit it

Ready Red break it down

See we're known from 5th ward in this world today

In the ghetto of course but I know my way

I started at the bottom on the way to the top

Don't allow no cops standin on my block

To all you police who try to diss

You just might be the law but I run this

Hit it

The instrument the turntables used for his benefit

You wanna be like Red that's why your DJ bit

The cut's created by the master of disaster and me

I'm l-i-v-e def as could be

I'm tellin I got tellin folks that I can't rhyme

You could see my competition it'll shock you blind

Johnny C the Prince of rap lord of all that's writt'

Accompanied by no sucker 'cause I run this

Hit it

Say yo baby doll hear what you say

That you work real hard each and every day

And all I do is sit around

And make you slave like a dumb-ass clown

You buy my clothes supply the food

But you're the girl and I'm the dude

You take care of me and that is it

You might be my girl but I run this

Hit it
