I Use To Think I Was Run - Rev Run

I Use To Think I Was Run - Rev Run
Yo Yo
A red alert y'all a red alert y'all
A now we toot on the horns
And ring on the bells
Cause I am the man with the clientele
Rock a rhyme for me and then a rhyme for you
And everybody catch the boogaloo flu
And like the apple to the peach
The cherry to the plum
I used to think I was Run
I really thought I was kiiiiiiiiing
Yo
In my in my imagination's creation I had to get paid
I had a better way to dead 'em
So the suckers were slayed
I gad to get up and smash 'em
Beat 'em down and bash 'em
Stompin through the Garden fully hardened to the maxim
Rhymin like an animal the cannibal king
Eat a sucker break a nucca
But I never could sing
Had a beef with every rapper I could see 'em for miles
And when I saw 'em had to floor 'em
Leave 'em layin in piles
Made a dollar while I holla
Had to follow me 'round
Rappers fearin when they hearin Run was breakin 'em down
Now every time I had to rhyme
My job was thoroughly done
And I never lost a battle
I used to think I was Run
Come on
I really thought I was kiiiiiiiiing
Come on
Yo yo
Now I was sittin up in Cali
From the alley in Queens
Breakin records never know exactly just what it means
Sellin records makin money just to throw in the air
Rockin sneakers bustin speakers
Every day a new pair
Nothin borin steady tourin
Livin life without care
And if I wasn't on the cover of your paper was rare
Even mami would remind me and rewind me the truth
Sucker fellas out there jealous
I was rough in my youth
Raising Hell and steady yellin
Freezin rockin the Goose
And in the summer on the come up
I was clockin the loot
Now come with me and
Let's remember how we rock it for fun
It's your momma's favorite rapper
I used to think I was Run
Come on
I really thought I was kiiiiiiiiing
Come on
Yo now back in Hollis makin dollars was a serious day
So me and D we had to get it then
We split it with Jay
Choppin it up and flip a buck and
Drive a sucker away
Never smilin steady whylin never needin to play
Me and Butter Hollis Crew
And how we do it with Ray
Comin down and throw it down
And then we be on our way
Now reminisce cause it was this
And that's just how it was done
I used to think I was Run
Come on
I really thought I was kiiiiiiiiing
Come on
Come on
I really thought I was kiiiiiiiiing
Come on
