Last subject of the story is about Biz Mark I had to work for mine to put your body in park When I was a teenager, I wanted to be down With a lot of M.C.-deejayin' crews in town So in school on Nobel Street, I say "Can I be down, champ" They said no and treated me like a wet food stamp After gettin' rejected, I was very depressed Sat and wrote some def doo-doo rhymes at my rest When I used to come to parties they'd make me pay I'd have to beg to get on the mike and rap that day I was never into girls, I was just into my music They acted like I wanted to keep it Instead of tryin' to use it But now things switched without belief "Yo, Biz, do you remember me from Nober Street, chief? We used to be down back in the days" It happens all the time and never ceases to amaze
(VERSE 1) On the mic at this time in the place to be I'm the Inhuman Orchestra called Biz Markie That made you dance, make the music with my mouth, and all But I'm here to talk about the Albee Square Mall A place where people shop in downtown Brooklyn Where I can be found if you're lookin For me, the B-i-z, so just come check me out Cause 24/7 I'm mikin the house So when I come in the Mall, and then I start to roam You wouldn't think it's a store, you would think it's my home Cause when I come in the place, then I hang up a sign Reads 'home sweet home' - this house is mine
(T.J. Swan) Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall
(VERSE 2) I been to many malls from state to state But I've never been in, say, one this great, I hate To say, about the other shopping centers that's left But the Albee Square Mall is the doo-doo-def I be in there everyday, walkin around chillin >From when they opened all the way until when It's about time for the place to close I'm just running things like a pair of panty hose They all know me, the Biz Markie I get more respect than the average employee Could work in every store in the mall Because the place is my house from wall to wall If I could move in, party people, I just might So I could stay forever, and it won't be just like A bum that you see sleepin on a park bench So how will it be when you see Biz Markie I fade them all, been havin fun See, to me this mall is like number one And any other shoppers that try to compare There ain't no way they could hang out with Albee Square
(T.J. Swan) Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall
(VERSE 3) I step in the place and shop around for a while Buy some jewelry for Treny and Ali, and after that I'll Go take a stroll inside of Gibb's Pups Then buy some fresh silks, Bally's too Next stop Olympic, wanted to buy some sneakers Then hit the ??? room to pick me up a Cesar Stroll around with a fly female While security's riffin about leanin on the rail After that I go eat some food at Wendy's In the Albee cafateria, could be shoppin plenty >From store to store just stuff in my face And I do the pfrr-one-two while sayin my grace Finally I step off all alone Up to the top level to use the telephone Never use a quarter, cause I got a calling card So I can reach out and touch everybody I know That's where I be until the day is done Just coolin in the place that's number one So next time you'll be in Brooklyn walkin around Play like _Price Is Right_ and 'come on down' And
(T.J. Swan) Go shoppin Go shoppin Go shop - let's all go shoppin (x3)
Go shoppin Go shoppin Go shoppin - Swan and Biz go shoppin
Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date But a year to make love she wanted you to wait Let me tell ya a story of my situation I was talkin' to this girl from the U.S. nation The way that I met her was on tour at a concert She had long hair and a short miniskirt I just got onstage drippin', pourin' with sweat I was walkin' through the crowd and guess who I met I whispered in her ear, 'Come to the picture booth So I can ask you some questions to see if you are a hundred proof' I asked her her name, she said 'blah-blah-blah' She had 9/10 pants and a very big bra I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused I said, 'How do you like the show?' she said, 'I was very amused' I started throwin' bass, she started throwin' back mid-range But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange Then when I asked, 'Do ya have a man?' she tried to pretend She said, 'No I don't, I only have a friend' Come on, I'm not even goin' for it This is what I'm goin' sing
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend And you say he's just a friend, oh baby You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend, oh baby You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend
So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time I thought just havin' a friend couldn't be no crime 'Cause I have friends and that's a fact Like Agnes, Agatha, Germaine, and Jacq Forget about that, let's go into the story About a girl named blah-blah-blah that adored me So we started talkin', getttin' familiar Spendin' a lot of time so we can build up A relationship or some understanding How it's gonna be in the future we was plannin' Everything sounded so dandy and sweet I had no idea I was in for a treat After this was established, everything was cool The tour was over and she went back to school I called every day to see how she was doin' Everytime that I called her it seemed somethin' was brewin' I called her room, a guy picked up, and then I called again I said, 'Yo, who was that?' 'Oh, he's just a friend' Don't gimme that, don't ever gimme that Jus' bust this
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend And you say he's just a friend, oh baby You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend, oh baby You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend But you say he's just a friend
So I came to her college on a surprise visit To see my girl that was so exquisite It was a school day, I knew she was there The first semester of the school year I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm This guy made me fill out a visitor's form He told me where it was and I was on my way To see my baby doll, I was happy to say I arrived in front of the dormitory 'Yo, could you tell me where is door three?' They showed me where it was for the moment I didn't know I was in for such an event So I came to her room and opened the door Oh, snap! Guess what I saw? A fella tongue-kissin' my girl in the mouth, I was so in shock my heart went down south So please listen to the message that I send Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend ayyy boi
Yo this one aight though Yo, me and Cool V Dis dis dis gon' be dis gon' be our new single And when you hear this story you'll say it's aight though Yo yo yo yo Cool V, why don't you give me a cue One more cue, and then I'm ready to go in
(Verse One) Don't you like when the winter's gone And all of a sudden it starts gettin warm The trees and the grass start lookin fresh And the sun and sky be lookin their best Birds be singin, flowers be bloomin A lot of brand new cars be zoomin Fly girls lookin the best they can be And the guys be dukey dukey Dan you see Besides all that I like the warm weather Cause that's when you can get yourself together But I like Easter time with a grin Cause when I was little we used to go to Coney I-sland We used to eat a lot of stuff like cotton candy Cause back then, it was like fine and dandy You used to get dressed up in double knits And your plaid suit jackets, they were the shits
The good ol' days, was back then And the reason I reminisce, cause..
(Chorus: Biz sings - voice slowed down) It's spring again Everybody know it's spring again To the girls and boys and people above This is the time to fall in love
(Verse Two) Now girls - have you ever broke up with your boyfriend And you felt that the world was comin to an end Sittin around the house poutin for no reason Just because you thought your man was skeezin For a couple of days, look gloomy and gray Thinkin about the ol' happy days All of a sudden, the telephone ring He beg for your forgiveness and you know what that brings Joy and happiness into your life Before you felt like your heart was stabbed by a knife I'm tellin you girls keep the man that you got 'Cause if he cheats you might need a V.D. shot You know two wrongs don't make a right And if he did something wrong don't do the same it's not polite Please don't make this breakin' up a trend, because...
(Verse Three) Now fellas - have you ever met a girl that tried to front And wanted you to act like you was on the hunt I used to see my homeboys frown and fret For a girl that always tryin' to play hard to get I know I caught it myself I must admit And said anything you want you gotta work hard for it Me the diabolical be obsessed? And go after something that a girl possess? They're really owning yours like a pair of drawers They want you to be like Santa Claus They want drug dealers, and four-wheelers trucks, jewelery They expect me to steal, huh? Shee-aht, I know they must be buggin' They better hit the streets and do their own muggin' But in this case, you'll just over look her Send her on her way and say I can't help ya hooker
One two, one two You're listenin to the grand groovin sounds Of the diabolical energetical B-I-Z Emmezah-A-Rrrah-K And this goes out to my DJ The cutmaster that no one cuts faster than C-double-oh-L V Drumroll V
[Verse One] It's a different kind of sound that's in the air It's not shots, firecrackers, or a car that's there A little different noise for your listenin pleasure A sample from a record that's a four bar measure Adults think this music is just a big headache They think all this hard work, is just a piece of cake They must be buggin, right out of they socks Why don't they get up and try to do, the human beatbox Cause back in the days when there was just block parties A DJ would set up his equipment, and start these live performances, and DJ tricks A lot of different DJ's was on the mix It is a proven fact, music is a universal language
From the tip of Long Island to the Verrezano Bridge We won awards and served them by the millions The more more years go by, the more we be killin 'em They said it's just a fad, it will never last a year All of a sudden, ten years later - "I hear music"
[Chorus: Cool V scratches "I hear music" over and over]
Cool V, give me a drum roll
[Verse Two] I can't believe how hip-hop has progressed With more and more groups that have finesse We have groups on the East and West coast with different names We all play a part if we didn't we'd go in flames We all got to stick together as one But at the same time, still have fun Cause you don't wanna lose the love for the music When you have it keep it, and make use of it This is a lesson from the S-K Biz Cause nobody else is gonna tell yo
Sittin here reminiscin back to high school When everytime I see you, girl, you know that I drool Day-dreamin in class thinkin what would I say When I saw you, but you never looked my way It started freshman year and lasted straight to the 12th grade I have to give it to you, though, you was top-shelf, babe I asked myself time and time again: what was it About me that made me treat me like a buzzard I speak to you in the hall and you ignore me You keep walkin and talkin like you never saw me You didn't have to conversate with me, I can say that It woulda made my day if you just had waved back I used to buy you candy, lollypops and gum drops I even pack a extra-sandwich in my lunch box You're treatin me like dirt and everyone in the school knows You call me out my name and crack jokes on my school clothes If anyone could make you feel good, girl, I could But you give me that look like you don't wanna be bothered But that's okay, just keep on frontin, see Cause one day I'ma make it, and you'll be wantin me Been tryin hard ever since I graduated To make it big, and yes, I finally made it Been doin shows, videos and tv Now everywhere you go everybody knows me Now the tables have turned and now it's me you're hawkin Now I turn up my nose, and keep on walkin You see, ladies marvel me in clubs frequently And you make it your duty to come and speak to me Rememberin how she played me in the past Yeah, we can talk, I'm in a rush, please make it fast And we can start off with all the men you been with And don't come poppin that just-a-friend bit Remember how you used to diss me and play me out, how Come you got so much stuff to talk about now? The word's around town that you're on the money tip But sorry, I can't do nothin for ya, honey dip So pardon me as I make my way to the dancefloor And over to the bar because that's what I came for Cuties pamperin me with champagne and roses As I think to myself: thank God for showbiz! Everywhere I turn girlies throwin me rhythm Drinkin and thinkin who will be my victim Here comes that girl that used to diss me She whispers in my ear could she come home with me Yup, get your coat and we could shoot north Took her to the crib, and cold knocked her boots off After i got it, yo, I never did call back Thinkin how she used to front like she was all that It's a new game, and the odds are in my favor She caught the vapors and nothin could save her
What comes around goes around You know what I'm talkin about What comes around goes around What comes around goes around What comes around goes around

"Huh huh huh, now what was I to do? She's crying over me and she was feeling blue, I said" - Slick Rick (Repeat 4x)
I was walking down the street, just a minding my biz I saw this young lady, the ultimate She had a pair of jugs that was so fine Then I took a look at that behind 36-24-36, I looked to her and I said "I need a fix" I asked her the same blahzay, blahzay Her name, where she live, and how much she weigh I got her digits and gave her my 1-800 beeper number You can leave a message under the name of Rhumba I know you're bugging off, then I will be too But every time she be walking, she turns the heads of the crew Word is bond, I wouldn't be messing With this girl if I knew she was an adolescent To all the guys over 21, here's the news: It's the hip-hop version of the Young Girl Bluez
"Huh huh huh, now what was I to do? She's crying over me and she was feeling blue, I said" (Repeat 4x)
As the story goes on, I get a little deeper I got a strange message on my 1-800 beeper Call my looney, crazy, psychotic or dumb But I got a good message from a girl named Rum Come and get me from Mickey D's at 8 That's where I work after school, pick me up for a date I was so excited that she called my pager But never thought to ask if she was a teenager She mentioned going to school, but I didn't think it was high If you saw what I saw, then you know why You wouldn't believe or even think of A bird like that could be a dove I picked her up in my Lexus coupe Only God knows what I'm doing is an oof Am I robbing a cradle? I'm very confused I'm stuck in the middle of the Young Girl Bluez
"Huh huh huh, now what was I to do? She's crying over me and she was feeling blue, I said" (Repeat 4x)
Now I was seeing her for about half a year Everything was fine and dandy without shedding a tear Age ain't nothing but a number, that's what Chi-Ali said Okay then why don't you get that through the judge's head Proceeding along, I must have to say It was coming very close to her birthday I asked "What do you want?" She said "A pair of earrings" I never knew what an avalanche the future brings Her birthday came and she gave a party I arrive kind of late to the place to be People was excited for seeing my face If my mother ever knew I would be a disgrace "How old are you now?" to Rhumba-reen I was in shock when they screamed "Sixteen!" I felt like falling apart when I heard the news This is the never-ending saga of the Young Girl Bluez!
"Huh huh huh, now what was I to do? She's crying over me and she was feeling blue, I said" (Repeat 4x)
