Raising Hell Lyrics

Kings from Queens from Queens come Kings
We're raisin' hell like a class when the lunch bell rings
The king will be praying the hell will be raisin'
S s s suckers try to phaze us but D won't be phazed
So what's your name? DMC the king is me
You're Highness or His Majesty
Now you can debate ci ci ci concentrate
But you can't imitate DMC the great

Dissin' all devils causing havoc in hell
At a very high level bass and treble shall yell
Hairy in heaven is our sound supreme
So clear the the ear it is sometimes seen
So loud like a cloud with thunder and lightning
So proud to the crowd and it's somewhat frightening
No calm in the storm like a beast unleashed
There's no stopping cause the rapping cannot cease
Break

You see it's harder than hard not one bit soft
Courageous and contagious so you better break off
Now I call on a roll did you hear me cough
Just listen what I'm dissing cause you're pissin' me off
Cold bedding is spreading all across your face
You can take when I break and if that's the case
I go on and on and kick the bass
So back up off the cup while I take my taste

It's like a praise when the hell is raised
So demanding and commanding that you all stand dazed
The unbelieving receiving prophecy's so true
I cut the head off the devil and I throw it at you
My mighty mic control already brought his soul
The rap king is so bold when he rocks and rolls
A black hat is my crown symbolizing the sound
Signifying we won't play around
Bust it!

Rappin' and climbin' beat makin' every day
No synthesizer sounds so silence when I say
I'm great get it straight cause that's my fate
My name is Run I'm number 1
That's how I rate
He's in the place with the bass and style and grace
His name is J he's here to play and win this race
He's off the wall on the ball his name is D
Kind of tall yes y'all he's down with me

From the mountain valley to the deep blue sea
The word is heard as told by D
I don't sing I bring much delight
Like a star shining bright in the darkest night
If you are cold I bring you heat
Like I brought the world my funky beat
Mysterious is serious I ain't no joke
Fire from the depths of hell and you can smell the smoke

Kickin' and tickin' while you're havin' a ball
Like chicken finger lickin' I'll be vickin' you all
So do the bird have you heard did they give you a call
Just me and DMC cold shakin' the wall

There's no fearin' when hearin' sound of this kind
Across the land every man is going out of his mind
On the face of the earth spreadin' like disease
Contaminating infiltrating like a horde of beasts

Lord of lyrics duke of discussion
Ruler of rap the king I go crushing
Puller of people controller of crowds
Lingering lyrics cold lasting and loud
Left y'all ah to the left y'all
Because I rock upon the mic real def y'all
And to the right y'all ah to the right y'all
Because I rock upon the mic all night y'all

You see I want respect if I'm correct
They're all like a ball that I have checked
And the shots they take have no effect
The punk try to duck but he broke his neck
Cause I rock harder and I get farther
You want to battle D hey please don't bother
To waste your time messin' with my rhyme
The only kick you get out of is in your behind
