[Intro]
I had to be the first
'Cause it was me, Rakim and Kane as a crew
Nobody knew I had styles
Know what I mean? (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
You know it's ill
It's the B-I-Z Markie
With my man Chad Muska
Guaranteed to rock, like-like this
Like-like, like like this
Rock like rock like rock rock like this, y'all

[Verse 2]
I'm the humdinger, the microphone singer
Super bell-ringer, here to bring ya
The rhyme technique-a, the ill funk freak-a
Coming right out of your speakers
Never reaching a peak-a
Perfection direction, in any section
My style is kickin' like Chinese Connection
Most Valuable Poet, thirteen years strong
The island of Long is where I belong
Superb like Goldberg, iller than Godzilla
I scared Michael Jackson into writin' a-Thriller
The ginger ale sipper, the freestyle flipper
Never see me in a pair of Grand Union brown clippers
Funk my juice capone, down when I was bony
One of the funkiest masters of ceremony
Jam, jam, jibbity jam
Let me, let me, let me tell you who I am

[Chorus]
New York, you don't stop
L.A., you can't stop
Midwest, you won't stop
(What) Hey, that bodyrock
New York, you don't stop
L.A., you can't stop
Midwest, you won't stop
(What) Hey, that bodyrock

[Verse 3]
Gotta come all night long, well like my rap
Wanna get down, I'll make your hands clap
Every time you see me I'll be doing my thing
I'm Hello Fried King with the disco flow
You know it's satisfaction guaranteed
If you're messing with me, you will bleed
Listen to me cause I'm the
Original B e-e-e-e-e I, Z, M-A-R-K
When it comes after fries, they're like this is what I'll say
I'm like super duper dopin' open
Rock the microphone, you be scopin'
Killing the most, coast-to-coast in ya
I wake up and eat cheese, eggs, and toast
Guaranteed to rock, I don't got no children
I just know that I got to go

[Chorus]
New York, you don't stop
L.A., you can't stop
Midwest, you won't stop
(What) Hey, that bodyrock
New York, you don't stop
L.A., you can't stop
Midwest, you won't stop
(What) Hey, that bodyrock

[Bridge]
I bought a lot of things
You might see me on a lot of things, because
You know a lot of people fell
You know they grab all this stuff and all that
And then gully gully
We had they chew, they chew
I mean, I had a pop hit, "Just A Friend"
But I still stay to the streets
Where a lot of people get, they try to make a
Uh, a bubblegum hit
I ain't make that be a bubblegum hit, you know what I mean?
It just happened to happen (Yeah yeah)
For the next year, you still gonna hear, gonna hear

[Outro]
New York, L.A
Midwest, what, that body rock!

Biz Markie

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.
