RUN-D. M.C. lyrics - Slow And Low

[The song was originally written and recorded by Run-DMC. Later recorded and released by the Beastie Boys on their debut album.]



Let it flow - let yourself go

Slow and low - that is the tempo

Let it flow - let yourself go

Slow and low - that is the tempo



It's never old school, all brand new

So everybody catch, the boog-a-loo flu

It's not like a fever, not like a cold

The beats are clear, the rhymes are bold

So don't see a doctor or see a nurse

Just listen to the music, 'cause first things first

First of all, get off the wall

It's time to party so have a ball

We slowed it on down, so get on up

Like a volcano I'll erupt

We got determination, bass and highs

I see real well because I've got four eyes

What you see is what you get

And you ain't seen nothing yet



Let it flow - let yourself go

Slow and low - that is the tempo



I do not sing, but I make a song

You'll live your whole life, and I hope you'll live long

On the Gong Show we won't get gonged

It's Run-DMC, not Cheech and Chong

Strong as an ox, fresh out the box

The crowd is so loud, they're coming in flocks

And when we go on, the crowd goes off

It's all hard rock, there's nothing soft



Let it flow - let yourself go

Slow and low - that is the tempo



We won't only rock the house, but we'll house the rock

We won't stroll, but we'll roll straight to the top

We're Run-DMC, and Jay makes three

The baddest B-Boys in history

When I'm recorded, you'll be rewarded

You know my song is great, 'cause you're all applauding

Not PCP or LSD, just DMC in the place to be

There's nothing free, you must pay a fee

Cash on delivery like a C. O.D.



Let it flow - let yourself go

Slow and low - that is the tempo

Let it flow - let yourself go

Slow and low - that is the tempo



The beat is slow in order to dance

We wanna hear I dos, and no I can'ts

First you move your legs, and then your arms

It's not fast and nervous, this dance is calm

It's truly stable and you ought to be able

To dance to the record when it's on the turntable



Let it flow - let yourself go

Slow and low - that is the tempo

Let it flow - let yourself go

Slow and low - that is the tempo

Let it flow - let yourself go

Slow and low - that is the tempo

Let it flow - let yourself go

Slow and low - that is the tempo

Let it flow - let yourself go

Slow and low - that is the tempo
