[Chorus 2X: DMC] The Cadillac cars we're supposed to drive The supersonic jet we're supposed to fly Things they advertise we're supposed to buy But the truth about life is we never die
[DMC] Up in the morning hit the treadmill Read the morning paper, get the head filled Eat a little breakfast for the {?} thrill My son started illin so I said chill A man can't live on bread and water alone But by every word proceding out the microphone My wife woke up, turned the radio on My son said daddy, they're playing your song Just another day in the life life Coolin with my kids and my wife wife I got a little problem, I got to solve You see me seekin knowledge as the world revolves You might not care, but I despair over which color shell-toe Adidas to wear But that's alright, hey that's okay Cause it's the same little problem that I have every day
[Chorus]
[DMC] The L-I-E, is {?} again And life is a battle, will I ever win? And you know what they say, over in L.A. That the four-oh-five is the same damn way People don't realize we're really alike But they like to see things in black and white But they don't know, we're all the same It's all about your throw and how you play, the game People think times won't be so hard If they just get down, and pray to God But I came here, to keep it real You gotta do a whole lot more than just kneel Don't hesitate to investigate Take time out, to meditate As long as I see things goin on I'm gonna keep spreadin knowledge with a song, now
[Chorus]
[DMC] I walk outside to my pickup truck I see the five-oh and I say whassup? Mr. McDaniels what's goin on? Are you workin out cause you're lookin kinda strong I try to keep the mental and the physical Correct in respect to my spiritual I try to keep the message really clear for you So listen to the questions that I'm askin you
[repeat 2X] Do you believe, in rock'n'roll? Cause if you do it'll save your soul It helps you gain when you lose control If you believe in rock'n'roll
[Chorus]
[DMC] Rock rock rock rock rockin on heaven's door Rock rock rock rock rockin 'til I can't no more
