[4X with stutter repeats]      [Run]   Livin in the city - the crack the mack and all that   Easy does it, is it was it   the black or white that Friday night   in those racist places - let's get it right   Ah to the maximum, and keep askin 'um   when the city gonna fix where the BLACKS are from   And every day around the way another one got   bucked in his head - from a gunshot   No chance in advance for the ambulance   Cause he was just another victim of the circumstance   A brother died, the mother cried, it was a pity   But that's how it goes down when you're livin in the city      [Jam Master Jay cuts "What's it all about?" samples]      [D.M.C.]   Just a hard rock, call him a hard rock   in the metropolis there's no stoppin this   Can't agree with society poppin this   Disagree with the plea when they coppin it   Some men pretend the end will come soon   They gather what they can and them BOOM   You played yourself, you made your wealth;   the deal was dealt - now your health is in question   Three Card Molly, hoodlums - who are we?   Pollution, prostitution, In God We -    - need a solution, revolution, substitution   for the thing's that we're abusing   Pity the city, for the people livin out on the streets   Yo we homeless, the homeless need to eat   There's no progress for the rest   God bless for less      [Jam Master Jay cuts "What's it all about?" samples]   [musical breakdown]      [Run] What it is?   [DMC] What's it all about?   [Run] Whassup G?   [DMC] What it be?   [Run] How you livin HOMELESS PROBABLY   Mandela's free   [DMC] and they're rollin with D   [both] In history you cannot see em like they cannot see me   [Run] The Berlin Wall   [DMC] It all had to fall   [Run] They said no but..   [Jay] "Yo!" "Yes y'all!"   [Run] The people that spoke were never provoked   and now it's tumblin down   Freedom of speech for each   [DMC] Now how that sound?   [Run] Try to stop me from sayin what I want to say   My funky rhyme I never quit until the break of day   NOW HERE WE GO as I flow and show and kick   [DMC] Infor-mation, teach and ? reach inside the nation   and be a..
