Yo
A red alert y'all, a red alert y'all
And now we toot on the horn and ring on the bell
'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
Like the apple to the peach, the cherry to the plum
I used to think I was Run
I really thought I was king
Yo, in my e- my imagination's creation I had to get paid
I had a better way to dead 'em so the suckers were slayed
I had to get up and smash 'em, beat 'em down and bash 'em
Stompin' through the garden fully hardened to the maxim
Rhyming like an animal, the cannibal king
Eat a sucker, break a knuckle, but I never could sing
Had a beef with every rapper, I could see 'em for miles
And when I saw 'em, had to blow 'em, leave 'em layin' in piles
Made a dollar while a 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
I really thought I was king
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 mommy would remind me and rewind me the truth
Sucker fellas out there jealous, I was rough in my youth
Raisin' 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 mama's favorite rapper
I used to think I was Run
I really thought I was king
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
Chop it up and flip a buck and drive a sucker away
Never smilin', steady wildin', never needin' to play
Me and Buddah Hollis Crew and how we do it with Rae
Comin' down and throw it down and then we'd 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
I really thought I was king
I really thought I was king
A red alert y'all, a red alert y'all
And now we toot on the horn and ring on the bell
'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
Like the apple to the peach, the cherry to the plum
I used to think I was Run
I really thought I was king
Yo, in my e- my imagination's creation I had to get paid
