[Biz Markie]
|
Huh?
|
Yo this is funky!
|
We gon' get down to the point
|
And I'm just gonna say - I'd like to thank my man Rashad
|
But we gon' get down like this, and you don't stop
|
A twink-twinkle, a rock the house
|
And my man Diamond Shell, a rock the house
|
Can't forget my man Sal, rock the house, and
|
Felle Fel, rock the house
|
I can't forget, Capital, rock the house
|
My man Capital T, will rock the house
|
And to my man B, a rock the house, and
|
my man Frankie, a rock the house
|
I can't forget Doo G, rock the house
|
and my man Cool V, a rocks the house y'all
|
Ah to the beat y'all, you don't stop
|
I'm Biz Markie with the funky sound
|
and right about now, here's the countdown
|
One.. two.. one, two, three
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Yo B take it from the top
|
Yo B take it from the top (sayyy whaaaat?)
|
Yo B take it from the top
|
Yo B take it from the top (wellllllll)
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
Well I demand respect, so everybody salute
|
And by the way Backspin, is my attribute
|
You may or may not, know who I am
|
But frankly my dear.. I don't give a damn!
|
You may know me from "Rockin' With Biz Markie"
|
Or Shante, when she used to battle Sparky
|
You might have seen in some videos with other folks
|
Sittin on the bench while me and Biz was tellin mother jokes
|
The meaning of my name some people may, try to guess
|
Yes yes I'm fresh to the flesh, so let me manifest
|
I make romance, I'm not a freelance
|
I spin records; BITCH I don't breakdance!
|
I scoop girls around the world that's what B does
|
The name Backspin means that B was
|
born.. as a creative, cut king
|
Supreme poet, inferior to nothing
|
Call me the teacher, since I'm the one who taught you
|
(What's that?) Myyyyyyy DICK! (CAUGHT YOU!)
|
I'm signin off because my rhyme's complete
|
I say peace to Chancellor Avenue and Bergen Street
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Yo Cap take it from the top
|
Yo Cap take it from the top (sayyy whaaaat?)
|
Yo Cap take it from the top
|
Yo Cap take it from the top (wellllllll)
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
Well get a grip and, yeah the Capital's rippin
|
more than just a ordinary style, cold flippin
|
Those that attempt to diss, or try to take this
|
title away what? I think you better forget it
|
Pit-pat this Jack, get off of the crack black
|
It's the true fact, your record hit the pillow sack
|
And now you're wonderin how make a comeback
|
but don't make me laugh, your studio's a two-track
|
Biz hits the bassline, then I rip the real line
|
Together it's combined and designed to a master rhyme
|
A little touch from Cool V himself
|
An overnight process then it's ready for the shelves
|
Perfect shit on wax is made
|
Then bring it to the radio and let it get played
|
There's no joke and only time to get fanatical
|
So listen up or pay attention to the Capital
|
I'm done with the rhyme for the time, so you can have 'em
|
Aiyyo guys, why don't you throw somethin funky at 'em
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Yo Shell take it from the top
|
Yo Shell take it from the top (sayyy whaaaat?)
|
Yo Shell take it from the top
|
Yo Shell take it from the top (wellllllll)
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
Y'all know me, as the Original D
|
like to the I say with the A and hey
|
bust this, M-O-N-D
|
I grab the mic and recite rhymes in your left ear
|
It's always def and different
|
Never somethin from the previous years
|
I'm quite slim, but rougher than a pair of Timbs
|
The Diamond Shell will never trip stagger fall or bend
|
I don't smoke and never ever have I drank no liquor
|
Bein smooth keeps my rhyme style, that much quicker
|
So yo hey chief, bust this technique of speak
|
I'm feelin sheik and also rather unique
|
I'm smooth as [?] you can't deny I'm
|
innovative with style, and bound to hit primetime soon
|
As I tour from Kalamazoo to the moon
|
Give props to the rapper, the brother dresses Dapper
|
than Dan cause I'm the man I'd like to make ya toes tap
|
with the, funky type of flow, I'm smooth as a Lambo'-
|
-Ghini I dream of Jeannie her hands on my jam
|
So, once but not twice, this brother's precise
|
When it comes to snakin girls I get as crooked as loaded dice
|
Pullin women can't no man compete
|
I nut 'em all from the Great Wall down to Wall Street
|
So..
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Yo Fell take it from the top
|
Yo Fell take it from the top (sayyy whaaaat?)
|
Yo Fell take it from the top
|
Yo Fell take it from the top (wellllllll)
|
|
[Verse 4: Force Fell]
|
Ready for the riot I rip rap rapacious
|
Crews don't slip you're payin penalty slashes
|
Clashes crashed, but I crash ass or
|
ravish the mic, and then I'ma pass all
|
Hard to handle run a gamble like Vegas
|
But I never lost the force be runnin wages
|
of pages, and pages, biters think I'm cajun
|
spice cause I'm so nice and eighteen is my age is
|
Rappers crumble when I tackle they crackle I ramshackle
|
Don't even know why they waste time on the pack'll
|
of nine cause my rhymes do 'em in like rifles
|
Stress the word, so you know I live trifle
|
MC's, metamorphosize to digest
|
days from a faze and my praise is like a rajah
|
I reckon, that crews that step over this way
|
think life is a game and they just too pissed to play
|
Some say, on mics I'm a master
|
A snatcher, a catcher, a very well matcher
|
But crews better know that I hit like after,
|
effects who's next I wreck from now til then
|
And then when the then comes, I'ma go hit again
|
like rat-a-tat-tat of the tickedy eatin dick-er whore
|
So every move I make I make sure, it's riggydiggyraw
|
Biz

|
[Verse 5]
|
Mar, kie the original
|
Everytime I see V, yo I got material
|
I was just kickin funky records for you
|
cause I'm down with the rhythm of a, ah one chk two
|
Singin, on records, I get respected
|
It don't matter to me cause you know that I'm connected
|
with B-M-V Biz Mark and Vaughn
|
Down to wreck collect and then jet, to the break of dawn
|
Discombobulate, sentence ain't complete
|
unless I go [beatbox] AHH AHH AHH UHH [cough] on beat
|
Zip-zop-a-zigga-lah, zagga-zucka-zaii
|
No matter what I say, I always come out fly
|
because my records get respected as I like jettin
|
You will agree it's me, cause you know I'm inventin
|
a different kind of rhythm of rhymin state
|
That's why you like everything I create
|
"Pickin' Boogers", "The Vapors", "Just a Friend"
|
That's just some of the things you can comprehend
|
So just check it, MC's wreck it
|
You listen to the Biz Markie, don't disrespect it
|
Just listen!
