Way back in the day when I was still livin in Queens
Barely hip to the hopper Run DMC
Me and my main man Perez
Kickin back with a six pack of Guinness
X-wing fighters flyin off of the bus
Swoop fast like we got perennies on us
To everyone we was one in the same
Like brothers sharin a name
Then many years on down the line
He turned with needles in his eye
All the sudden like out of the sky
Turn around angry to dry
Why why why why why you show no sign
I never knew this friend of mine
Yeah knew this friend of mine
Yeah, yeah
I got so much trouble on my mind
Though I don't try to be unkind
Sometimes it gets way out of line
But now it's too low
Yeah, you blow my mind
Don't want your face around
Yeah, what just went down
Don't want your face around
Remember the time we watched kung-fu together?
Couldn't play outside because of bad weather
Back then I knew you was my best friend
Somehow I needed that right now
Boilin up like the water in a crack pot
Pullin up on the gate for the whole shot
Redlined twelve amped up pistons
Gimme teeth so I can put my fist in
There is nothing left of you and me
The bird has flown out of the tree
Long gone and nothin is the same
Blowed up like a face with no name
What what what what what whatcha wanna do?
Cause I don't believe whatcha do
Yeah believe whatcha do yeah, yeah
I got so much trouble on my mind
Though I don't try to be unkind
Sometimes it gets way out of line
But now it's too low
Yeah, you blow my mind
Don't want your face around
Yeah, it kills the sound
When you hang around
Why did you turn
And kick me to the ground now?
Yeah, what just went down?
Don't want your face around
At times I dream of better days
When we was chillin in the place
Now I live within a sound
And you will never bring me down
Yeah
I got so much trouble on my mind
Though I don't try to be unkind
Sometimes it gets way out of line
But now it's too low
Yeah, you blow my mind
Don't want your face around
Yeah, it kills the sound
When you hang around
Why did you turn?
And kick me to the ground now
Yeah, what just went down?
Don't want your face around
