In 1992, Biz recorded a song called "Alone Again," but Gilbert O'Sullivan claimed the track featured an unauthorized sample of his hit "Alone Again (Naturally)," and served Biz papers. His career was quite damaged from the lawsuit, and Biz ducked out of the harshest glare of the limelight for the remainder of the 1990s. He did do a bit of work with Len, Will Smith and the Beastie Boys. During this time he developed his DJ skills. He could scratch using his prodigious stomach.
In 2003, Biz began recording again. As of 2008, Biz could be seen on the popular children's' show "Yo Gabba Gabba" performing various beat box segments known as "Biz's Beat of the Day" where he encouraged the kids at home to beat box with him. He has appeared on numerous TV shows and movies including Men in Black II, The Andy Milonakis Show, Nick Cannon's Wild 'n Out, In Living Color, Fastlane and a RadioShack commercial. In 2005, Biz appeared on VH1's Celebrity Fit Club, and won.
In July 16, 2021, Biz died at the age of 57.
On and On
Biz Markie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I got my man Craig Craig in the house
Kevin Dee from Midnight Express Crew's in the house
Charles' brother's in the house
Squig Love is in the house
Cool V on the vocal, gettin' me mad
But I'm gonna lil' do a lil' somethin' like this
Check this out
One.. two.. one, two, three
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
Non-stop rappin to the break of dawn
I'm the Biz Mark, and I'm a sure shot
All of a sudden, you you you you..
I got a friend by the name of Charlie
Charlie got a wife by the name of Dolly
Dolly and Charlie got a son named Wally
And Wally got a girl by the name of Polly
Polly got a sister by the name of Molly
Molly and Polly got a mother named Holly
Father named Arthur, we call him Artie
You don't understand and I'm very very sorry
Cousin named Freida, Uncle named Skeeter
He's married to my fine Aunt Rita
who is the leader, of the merry cheaters
So, I don't greet ehr cause my Uncle don't need her
Grandma Joyce, drives a Rolls Royce
Of the family I'm a favorite choice
Buddy named Homer, used to be a loner
Now he got a girl by the name of Mona
Now that Homer's marries to Mona
all he does all day is bone bone bone her
Partner named Lex, get big respect
Drivin in his black 300 Z-X
Week after next, when Lex his get check
me and Lex will be chillin in the X
My girl Eleanor, went to the drugstore
to get deoderant, I figure for sure
Cause the one she used before made her underarms sore
And that's why Eleanor, don't use it no more
Her girl named Betty, who used to go with Freddie
asked me was I ready, for us to go steady
I told Betty, I wasn't ready
to go steady, cause it would hurt Freddie
A girl named Glen, she's my best friend
Known her ever since who knows when
And do you comprehend, the message that I send
of family and friends of Grandpa Ben
Like this like that like that like this
You know the Biz Mark's on top of the list
I rock the house and MC'sll know-a
'Member when they had a place called Shanendoah?
Shanendoah, and St. Noah
Biz Markie, the def rhyme flower
Yo I would not rely on Noah
(??) all the (??) like an MC sewer
Ziga-rocka-zayga, MC say a
A different kind of rhythm of rhymin display-a
{*beatboxing*} AHH AHH AHHA AHH AHH, HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE

Ain't no other MC like me!
Cause I will rock say immediately
That's why I'm chillin in the L-I-N-D, E with the N
with the MC street
You will agree it's me, cause I rock a funky beat
The, oh-riginal be , I-Z-M-A-are

Biz Markie's song "On and On" is a classic example of his unique storytelling style of rap. The song is essentially a stream-of-consciousness recollection of all the people in Biz's life, from his immediate family to his extended relatives, friends, and acquaintances. Biz begins each verse with a name and a relationship and then proceeds to give a brief description of each character. The narrative flows seamlessly from one person to the next, and Biz's playful rhyming and exaggerated vocal delivery add to the overall charm of the song.
As the song progresses, Biz's list of people becomes longer and more convoluted, and the stories he tells become more absurd. For example, he mentions a grandmother who drives a Rolls Royce, a married couple who spends all their time "bone bone bone-ing," and a friend named Homer who used to be a loner but now has a girlfriend named Mona. The song is peppered with inside jokes, puns, and references to popular culture, such as the now-defunct club Shanendoah.
Despite the seemingly random nature of the song's lyrics, "On and On" manages to capture the essence of Biz Markie's musical persona. He is a consummate storyteller who revels in the details of everyday life, and his off-kilter humor and earnest delivery make even the most mundane story feel like a fascinating adventure.
