[Verse 1]
|
This is another hit from Biz Markie
|
Dedicated to the radio, not he or she
|
Be-cause it's time for them to get recognized
|
This is my version of the Nobel Peace Prize
|
That's why I'm comin out my face like this
|
Far as negativity, you never get dissed
|
If it wasn't for you, nobody would know
|
That's why this is something for the radiohhhh
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
This rhyme is dedicated to the radio DJ's
|
That play all the hits on seven days
|
And even on the weekends, the DJ's will be freakin
|
Without a doubt because everyone is unique-and
|
The way they cut the records, and be talkin
|
It sound doo doo EXTRA CRAZY DEF on the Walkman
|
To all the disc jockey's that's on the go
|
This is something for the radiohhhh
|
|
[Biz ad libbing a harmony of "for the radio" randomly]
|
|
Now I'ma kick it like this
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
I'd like to thank all the people state to state
|
For requestin my records on the radio great-ly
|
appreciate what you've done for me
|
And my reward to you is my M-U-S-I-C
|
Straight up, I make the music just for you
|
So you can do the extra crazy Biz Mark dance too
|
Or even do the dance made up by yourself
|
As long as you're in good phy-sical health
|
Because you're the one that make the radio hype
|
Like fresh tobacco and a brand new pipe
|
A program director always pick the right hits
|
Like puttin some salt and pepper and butter on grits
|
I ALWAYS look up to program directors
|
Cause they're the ones, the jam selectors
|
A couple of years ago when I didn't have a record player
|
On the radio I thought to myself sayin
|
If I ever get the chance to playin my stuff
|
I'm gonna make everything extra tough
|
Cause radio will last to infinity
|
As long as my name is the B-I-Z
|
Emmezah-A-R-K and I'm hear to say
|
Number one entertainment form in the like U.S.A.
|
Cause if it wasn't for you, nobody would know
|
That's why this is something for the radiohhhh
|
|
[Biz ad libbing a harmony of "for the radio" and singing shoutouts]
|
|
[Verse 4]
|
This is the conclusion of just the beginnin
|
of hip-hop on the radio, mix never endin
|
Story and fightin, just to get the right and
|
have our respect on a station that's excitin
|
In about two years, I will be a superstar
|
Be able to buy anything I want, even a car
|
Cause if it wasn't for you, nobody would know
|
That's why this is something for the radiohhhh
|
|
Yo I'd just like to say it like this
|
|
[Cool V scratches to fade]
