[Verse 1]

Kick off shoes, jump on the jock

Listen to the Jam Master as he starts to rock

His name is Jay and he's on his way

To be the best DJ in the US of A


[Verse 2]

J-A-Y are the letters of his name

Cutting and scratching are the aspects of his game

So check out the Master as he cuts these jams

And look at us with the mics in our hands

Then take a count, one, two, three

Jam Master Jay, Run-DMC


[Verse 3]

He's Jam Master Jay, the big beat blaster

He gets better 'cause he know he has to

In '84, he'll be a little faster

And only practice makes a real Jam Master


[Verse 4]

We're live as can be, not singing the blues

We got to tell y'all all the good news

The good news is that there is a crew

Not five, not four, not three, just two

Two MCs who are claiming the fame

And all other things won't be the same

Because it's about time for a brand new group

Run-DMC to put you up on the scoop

We make the fly girls scream in ecstasy

We rock the freshest rhymes at a party

We put all the fellas in a daze

It's everyone that we amaze

And we got the master of a disco scratch

There's not a break that he can't catch

Jam Master Jay, that is his name

And all wild DJs, he will tame

Behind the turntables is where he stands

Then there is the movement of his hands

So when asked who's best, y'all should say

Run-DMC and Jam Master Jay


[Verse 5]

Jam Master Jay is the one in charge

It's up to him to rock beats that are truly large

He is the master of the scratch and cut

So move your arms, so move your legs, so won't you move your butt?


[Verse 6]

We're not talking ground, we're not talking sky

We're not talking low, we're not talking high

We're not talking big, we're not talking small

We want all of the people on off the wall

We're not talking night, we're not talking day

But we're talking 'bout Jam Master Jay


[Outro]

Huh, huh

Ha, ha, ha
