[Intro: D.M.C. & Run]

Everyone out there ready?

It goes a-one, two, three, and

[Verse 1: D.M.C. & Run]

Perfection to D is quite essential

He has to live up to his potential

I work real hard all day and night

I get to it and do it 'cause I want it right

I got bass, tone, I use cologne

And then I rock the funky rhyme on the microphone

I got a funky fresh car with the funky fresh bar

I'm a funky fresh star and I'm up to par

My name is D.M.C. down with Run and Jay

Is everything copacetic, y'all? Kind of a-okay

[Chorus]

Perfection (Yo, yo, yo, what we talkin 'bout, what we talkin 'bout?)

Perfection (Most definitely)

[Verse 2: D.M.C. & Run]

I got prescription glasses and my eyes are correct

Two times every year I go to have them checked

Perfection's my selection, and I will select

And if it's not (Perfect) I will perfect

[Chorus]

Perfection (What we got?)

Perfection (Who me? I— talkin' 'bout me?)

[Verse 3: Run & D.M.C.]

I got a credit card made out of gold

I get cash in a flash and the story's told

I got D.M.C., I got JMJ

I got Jeff, he's def, and Runny-Ray

I got a dog, a cat, a mouse, a rat

A fly, he won't die, and a little gnat

My name is DJ Run and he's Darryl Mack

Run-D.M.C., right and exact

[Chorus]

Perfection

Perfection (C'mon, let's get 'em, tell 'em, D)

[Verse 4: D.M.C. & Run]

I won't fail, I won't flop

Stall or stutter, yes, I won't stop

It takes hard work to be like this

You should know 'cause I'm a perfectionist

[Chorus]

Perfection

Perfection

Perfection (Yo, DJ Run, what is it?)

Perfection (Perfectly speaking)

Perfection

Perfection (P-P-P-P)

Perfection (P-P-P-Perfect)

Perfection (Perfectly speaking)

Perfection (P-P-P-P, 100 percent)

Perfection (Roll, roll, roll, c'mon, c'mon c'mon)

Perfection (Word, there it is)
