Run DMC – Ragtime Lyrics  Share

From Run DMC's album: Tougher Than Leather

[Run]
I.. woke up this morning got ready to roll
Put on my green bomber it was, freezing cold
Applied longjohns with Adidas not matching
I called up Jam Master cause I knew he was scratching
(Whassup?) Jay to the telly music, loud as hell
He said - "Hold up Run," [DING DONG], "it^,s the bell!"
Jay to the door as he leaves the cut
for his eyes a surprise, "D.M.C. WHASSUP?"

[D.M.C.]
I need a little help Jay, I got a little problem
A guy like yourself, maybe you can help me solve em
I only want to know why this happens all the time
(What?) Everywhere I go, I start to rap and rhyme
I rock them in the day (yeah you rock em every night)
I rock em when I left so def I knew something was wrong (alright)
I rhyme when I am sleeping, I rhyme when I^,m awake
When I was nine I said a rhyme by putting candles on my cake
I just came from the bank (you said a rhyme?) A rhyme so funny
A song about the line so long they all gave me their money
[ Ragtime lyrics from

That^,s why I came to you, you^,re my friend (yes that is true)
Said maybe Jay knows what to say, he^,ll tell me what to do..

[Jay]
Hmmmm.. yo you go get Joe, and all the rhymes you made
And we^,ll go to the bank, AND WE CAN ALL GET PAID!

[Run]
Cruisin down the block, in the sixty-six Olds
Girls are on the jock like the ride was a Rolls
Feelin kinda great, got change for the toll
Suckers gotta wait, that^,s your fate, poor soul
Heard you on the records and I heard you on the tapes
Stop, switch the conversation over to grapes, because
you^,re not bustin none, so stop fussin son
You^,re not down with Rush, they call us Russ and Run
Since that^,s the company, you won^,t be chumpin me
Here^,s the man, ask that fan (Run big brother D!)
