Some DJ's are good some DJ's are

Who the underground DJ even dirty to echo
With more years in the cut

It's JJ (nice with it till he DOA)
It's JJ (not from Good Times but TOJ)
Was born with it (what?)
You know you can't regroup cool
Jeff scratch like a hustler
That can't shoot pool
Even if the needle jump no
Problem he's still scratching it
Double beatin
Transforming and back scratching it
The underdog made his mark inflated on him
You said it couldn't be done
Straight hated on him
It's all good Jeff is easily good
Never claimed to be the best
But he easily could
Longevity back when you was
Riding your gas hinder (vroom)
Below the bikers and the
Bright yellow Pathfinder
You talking wheels he be on top of the heat
1200's in the club 6 out in the street
It's the magnificent (magnificent)

Magnificent sensational style
Jeff play it for a while
Whether AM or FM I'm spraying cassettes in
Same as when Jeff's in the DJ booth
He play truth
In and out of town overseas on the 3 day loop
Fly around on the plane and playin'
EA Hoops and 2K Live
I'm the rapper watch the DJ rise
Jazzy Jeff look in they're DJ eyes
You could see in they're set
See it in they're step
You could see it in they're juggle
See it when they sweat soundin' mo fo
Fuck around and Jeff Townes will cut you
Jump on the stage in a crowd and duck you
So if you're last name ain't
Townes then fuck you
The west cat the love cat
Soul searchin' stacks spokesperson
So certain that he'll reign on new
Marks and leave 'em overworkin'
Blow circuit's and lower curtains
J-A double Z J-E double F
Straight out of double V
Pete the heat for streets in the stations
Beat Generation heat for the nation
