[Run] I would like to throw "Rock Box" in the start of this one..
  
  [Jam Master Jay obliges with the cut.. "Run.. Dee.. Run.. D.. M.. C.." "Here we go again!" -> Chuck D]
  
  "What's it all about?" [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.. SEER CAUSE I'M REASON WITH RUN
  [Run] And now that the point is out
  Let the jam slam my man and tell me
  what's it all about?
  
  [Jam Master Jay cuts "What's it all about?" samples]

  [D.M.C.]
  I flex my muscle, what I must do
  is bumrush you, FUCK YOU I'll crush you
  The Ku Klux Klan is fucked up
  And every good man'll understand
  Beginnin and winnin, from the first fuckin vocal
  I spoke to you, I ain't no joke to you
  I do what I want to do
  If you don't like what me and my crew is doin then FUCK YOU
  What I do and what I done with Jay and Run
  None could ever become, to sum it up bum..
  get off my DICK and out my KINGDOM
  (Yo yo D tell em where you're from)
  Straight from Hollis, Queens
  I'm still eatin collard greens and I'm doin the same things
  I ain't never goin out suckers..
  punk motherfuckers!
  What's it all about?
