Lyrics
All of his beats, and my rhymes attach
Form the new creation, called, "The Marley Scratch"
We're always steered in a positive course
His beats, my rhymes, combined make force
I say it's like a force, 'cause, the force is strong
And if you think we're weak, I'd say you're wrong
All you other DJs are a bunch of jerks
Marley, give 'em an example, how a D.J. works
Mar-, Marl, Marley
Marley
Marley
Since you just heard how a D.J. sound
The name Marley Marl, I will break it down
The M is for master of Scratch
And if the needle was to slip, it's the needle he'll catch
The A is a letter that you set apart
I wouldn't call his beats music, I would call it Art
The R just stands for the way he rock
Which is 24-0-7 around the clock
The L is for lyrics that I write
When put to his music, sounds out of sight
The E is for every beat he make
Which sucker DJ's persist to take
Don't play with the Y, 'cause, it isn't a game
You ask, "Why did he put the other DJs to shame?"
After this, there shouldn't be a story to tell
At the end of that is M-A-R-L
This paragraph here, has come to an end
Marley, can we hear your funky fresh scratchin' again?
Marl, Marley, Marley
Marley
Marley
Marl, Marley
Marley, Marley
Marley
I never got caught in the game of Tag
My name is M.C. Shan, no need to brag
MC's brag about themself, all through their rhyme
You can see I got quality, won't waste my time
If I did not mean it, I wouldn't have said it
I'm gonna give the man behind the wheels some credit
I'm not tryna say that he can't be beat
But Marley Marl can stand on his own two feet
Since a DJ like him is so in demand
Marley, won't you get on, and show 'em where you stand
Not, not, not like the rest
Not, not, not, not, not like the rest
