Nobody
Biz Markie Lyrics

Yes, y'all and to the like beat-and
Starting off the track with a greeting to his listeners

You could either dance or just have a seat and
Promoting his music as dance-worthy and enjoyable for all

Listen to the way-in, what I am displayin'
Inviting his listeners to appreciate his style

A different kind of rapper language that I am sayin'
Contrasting his style with other rappers to proclaim his uniqueness

To all the party people that absorbing the info
Acknowledging his listeners who enjoy his music while also hinting at the instructional nature of his lyrics

When it come to rockin' parties I am a nymphomaniac
Asserting his love and passion for party and event performance

Brainiac for doin' my dance
Highlighting his intellect and skill in executing his dance moves

And my record make the music, will put you in a trance-and
Proudly attributing his success to his music and its ability to mesmerize listeners

Hypnotize your body-and, like you do bacardi-and
Invoking imagery of people indulging in a good time at a party

You won't be fightin' or illin', you just be partyin'
Promoting his music as a tool for peaceful, enjoyable partying

Down, with the funky sound with yours truly
Celebrating his unique sound and style that sets him apart from other rappers

I'm the original be B-I-Z-M-A-R-K-I-E and
Proudly introducing himself and stating his unique name

I came to have fun and not be number one and
Clarifying his intentions as an artist, which is to make enjoyable music rather than to be at the top of the charts

Just hear to let you know, who's like runnin' the place
Asserting his dominance in the rap game

And everywhere that I perform and do a show as long as you know, that
Concluding his assertions by hinting at his wide-ranging success as a performer

You know me as the B-I-Z-M-A-R-K-I-E and
Reiterating his name and identity as a rapper

I go for what I know doin' a show for human beings
Stating his purpose in performing for others

I'm guaranteed to rock I make the ladies scream and shout
Highlighting his ability to captivate audiences and create a lively atmosphere

I'm bound to wreck your body and say turn the party out
Using vivid imagery to describe his impact on listeners and their party experience

The mardi rapper toe-tapper always have it flowin'
Emphasizing his talent in dancing to his own music

And when you hear the Biz Markie, I get the job done
Affirming his credibility as a rapper who knows how to get the party started

Yes I'm the M-A-R the K-I-E you know that's me
Reiterating his name and identity as a rapper and solidifying his brand

I got the stutter step to keep in check my speed is so unique
Describing his unique dance style and rhythm

They say I look and sound funny but I don't be carin'
Acknowledging criticisms of his appearance and voice but confidently pushing ahead

I rock the Latin Quarter, Rooftop, Union Square and
Listing some of the various venues where he has performed and found success

Roseland, the Heartthrob, Madison Square Garden
Continuing to list prestigious venues where he has performed and gained acclaim

Even rock for the World Fair at Jaffer center
Highlighting his versatility as a performer and the breadth of his accomplishments

Pardon the way, that I be talkin' 'bout the places I be rockin'
Apologizing for sounding like he is bragging about his accomplishments as a performer

I love to perform, for the people that be clockin'
Reiterating his love for performing and connecting with his audiences

Not sayin' that you're on mine, you're on it like a hornet
Indicating that he has appreciation for his listeners without expecting them to feel obligated to support him

But you pay for the performance, doggone it, you want it
Acknowledging the business aspect of his profession and reminding his listeners of why he works so hard

That's why I'm here, to be like lettin' you knowin'
Clarifying his purpose in being a rapper and performer

That I'mma highly recognized as the king of disco and
Asserting his authority and success in the genre of disco and making it known that he holds that title

Makin' people as they have a lot of enjoyment
Acknowledging the purpose of his music and why people enjoy it

I'm the best person for this type of employment, that's why
Boasting about his talent and prowess in being an entertainer

On and on, to the break of dawn
Emphasizing the longevity and energy of his performances

When you buy food cheap, you need a coupon
Making a quick observation about the cost of living and how to save money

Or catch a sale retail, before it gets stale
Offering another piece of advice on how to save money when shopping

So hurry up and get the WIC check out the mail
Suggesting another way to save money using government assistance

And shop non-stop, but how I hip-hop
Juxtaposing his love for shopping with his love for rapping and performing

On the mic and like
Transitioning back to talking about his career as a rapper

Make you co-op-er-ate with the rhythm, that is what I give 'em
Explaining how his music can make people move and dance along

Reagan is the pres but I voted for Shirley Chisholm
Making a political statement and revealing his preference for a candidate who didn't win

It might sound confusing, the style that I'm using
Acknowledging that his style might be complex or unconventional for some listeners

But in the end I'm sure that you will find it quite amusing
Promising that his music will ultimately be enjoyable and entertaining for his listeners

And funny, oh honey, it's just ridiculous
Using humor to describe his unconventional style

Don't try to front, come on and admit you was
Challenging his listeners to own up to enjoying his music despite its unconventional style

Thrilled, chilled, your heart was all filled
Describing the effect his music has on listeners, creating a feeling of excitement and happiness

So respect the architect, as I begin to build
Claiming his place as a pioneer and leader in the rap genre

Science and my reliance is upon my rap
Acknowledging the art and science behind his music and performance

Like Carl Lewis I get to it, so let's go the lap
Comparing his focus and dedication to his craft to that of Olympic athlete Carl Lewis

My name is TJ Swan, nobody beats the Biz
Introducing another persona on the track and asserting that nobody is better than him

I rock you on and on, nobody beats the Biz
Boasting about his ability to captivate and entertain his listeners

You know nobody that beats the Biz
Reiterating that he is the best in the game

I know nobody that beats the Biz
Affirming his confidence in his own talent and success
