[Intro: Biz Markie]
This goes out to all the, Jam Master Jays
Frankie Crockers, Larry LeBan, DJ Screw
Darryl C, Masterdon, Doctor Rock
Scott LaRocks of the world
This is a record just for all the DJ's
That need, a record for them, you know what I'm sayin'?
And it goes like this

[Verse 1: Biz Markie]
On your mark, get set, let's go
I make you hit e'ry emcee you know
Your eyes could not cover the whole damn place
You see everybody rockin' from head to shoelace
A DJ spinnin', that's me
A DJ on the microphone, yeah that's me
Why you're havin' a good time, that's me
The reason that you paid yo' money, is the party
You never heard a DJ wreck it like this
With a different twist still down to be on top of the list
Shoutout to all the DJ's who complete the craze
Funkmaster Flex, and all the radio DJ's
KaySlay to Clue and all with mixtapes
Male or female, all size and shapes
We're the new wave of the Y2K
From Flash, Theodore, Herc, from back in the day

[Chorus: Lil' Kal]
This is for the, dee-jayyyyys, whoa
DJ's make the world go around go around go around
Make you feel that funky sound
This is for the, dee-jayyyyys, whoa
DJ's make the world go around
Make you feel that funky sound

[Verse 2: Faison]
DJ's got you dancin', music that they play is random
Man you can't fathom
Mixtapes too, P Cutta too
Enuff to S&S they got somethin' new
Exclusive (exclusive) you know how they do
This music make your mind just lose it
Girls shake that thang, have a good time
How the DJ got you feelin' you can sing (uh)
Fellas grab a girl (grab a girl) grab her waist
Show your face, move your hips and move to the bass
Go to clubs cause of DJ's (DJ's)
You forget that he said she said when you hear the DJ
Oh they playin' my song (playin' my song)
It's 1 AM I gots to get it on I gots to move strong
Time is windin' down (windin' down)
DJ slow the music down cause I'm 'bout to get my grind on now

[Chorus: Lil' Kal]
This is for the, dee-jayyyyys, whoahhhh
DJ's make the world go around go around go around
Make you feel that funky sound
This is for the, dee-jayyyyys, whoahhhh
DJ's make the world go around
Make you feel that funky sound

[Verse 3: Biz Markie]
This is what I love to do
Besides it bein a hobby, this is what I love to do
I love to look for records, I love to play the records
I love to, rock the crowd when they don't expect it
Love to go to Chicago where they like house and club
Even love Jamaica where they do the rub-a-dub
I like B.More, V-A and D.C
I can break it down and so on like I'm most definitely
I can shake it in Miami, A-T-L and Carolinas
But New Orleans and Texas know my bounce is finer
St. Lou', Tennessee, Detroit, Philly to L.A
They know I par-tay to the break of day
Can't forget Boston, Connecticut and across sea
From England, Holland, German to the Japanese
All of them are great, like a cake, and a fork
But, I, LOVE, NEW YORRRRK

[Chorus: Lil' Kal]
This is for the, dee-jayyyyys, whoahhhh
DJ's make the world go around go around go around
Make you feel that funky sound
This is for the, dee-jayyyyys, whoahhhh
DJ's make the world go around
Make you feel that funky sound

Marcel Theo Hall (born April 8, 1964), better known by his stage name Biz Markie, is an American rapper, beatboxer, DJ, comedian, singer, reality television personality, and commercial spokesperson. He is best known for his hit single “Just a Friend” and has been called “the Clown Prince of Hip Hop.”

Markie found a love of music through his father, a multi-instrumentalist who played in local Long Island clubs when Markie was a child. Later, Markie performed at house parties on Long Island until he felt confident enough to go to Manhattan and pursue a career in music. He began waiting outside on the stoop of producer Marley Marl’s house daily until Marley took notice of him. Marley assembled a group of rappers including Markie with Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Masta Ace, Roxanne Shante, and others and called them The Juice Crew. Markie was especially known for his beatboxing, something he’d been doing since he was seven years old.

Markie’s first release, a 1986 EP titled “Make The Music With Your Mouth, Biz”, was put out under the name Biz Markie “The Inhuman Orchestra”. Its title track became a minor R&B Chart hit. Two years later, “Vapors”, a single from his debut album Goin' Off, gave him his second appearance on the R&B Chart. Years later, Snoop Dogg’s 1997 cover of the song would take “Vapors” into the top 40 on the UK, Scotland and New Zealand pop charts.
