Everyone out there ready?
It goes a one, two, three, and..

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, (y'know)
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-o-k)

Perfection
(yo yo yo, what we talkin bout, what we talkin bout)
Perfection
(most definitely)

I got prescription glasses and my eyes are correct
Two times every year I go to have them checked
Per-fection's my selection, and I will select
And if it's not (per-fect) I will perfect

Perfection (what we got?)
Perfection

Who me? you want me?
I got a, credit (card) made out of (gold)
I get (pass) in a (class) and the story's told
I got D.M.(C.), I got jm(j)
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

Perfection
Perfection
(c'mon let's get em, tell em d)

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

Perfection
Perfection
Perfection (yo DJ run what is it?)
Perfection (perfectly speaking)
Perfection
Perfection
Perfection (p-p-p-perfect)
Perfection (perfectly speaking)
Perfection (p-pu-p-pu, 100 percent)
Perfection (roll roll roll, c'mon c'mon c'mon)
Perfection (word, there it is)
