Vapors

And said he was the worst thing his moms ever had

They said that he will grow up to be nothing but a hoodlum

Or either in jail, or someone would shoot him

But now he's grown up, to their surprise

Big Daddy got a hit record selling worldwide

Now the same people that didn't like him as a child

Be saying can I borrow a dollar, ooh, you're a star now

They caught the vapors (vapors, vapors)

They caught the vapors (vapors, vapors)

They caught the vapors (vapors, vapors)

They caught the vapors (vapors, vapors)

Now I got a cousin by the name of Vaughan Lee

Better known to y'all as Cutmaster Cool V

He cuts, scratch, transform with finesse

- and all that mess (all that mess)

I remember when he first started to rock

And tried to get this job in a record shop

He was in it to win it, but the boss fronted

Said, "Sorry Mr. Lee, but there's no help wanted"

Now my cuz Vaughan still tried on and on and on

'Til the like break of dawn

To put this J-O-B in effect

Then they'd look right past him and be like, "Next"

Now for the year of '88

Cool V is making dollars, so my cousin's like straight

He walks into the same record shop as before

And the boss be like, "Vaughan, welcome to my store"

Offering him a job but nah, he don't want it

Damn, it feels good to see people up on it

'Cause I remember when at first they wasn't

Now guess what they caught from my cousin

The vapors (vapors, vapors)

Kif-a, kif-a, kif-a, kif-a, kif-a, kif-a

They caught the vapors (vapors, vapors)

They caught the vapors (vapors, vapors)

They caught the vapors (vapors, vapors)

(Guess they gonna talk about me and check it out)

Last subject of the story is about Biz Mark

I had to work for mine to put your body in park

When I was a teenager, I wanted to be down

With a lot of MC-DJ'ing crews in town

So in school on Nobel Street, I say, "Can I be down, champ'"

They said no and treated me like a wet food stamp

After getting rejected, I was very depressed

Sat and wrote some def doo-doo rhymes at my rest

When I used to come to parties, they'd make me pay

We have to beg to get on the mic and rap that day

I was never into girls, I was just into my music

They acted like I wanted to keep it instead of trying to use it

But now things switched, without belief

"Yo, Biz, do you remember me from Noble Street, chief?

We used to be down back in the days"

It happens all the time and never cease to amaze

They caught the vapors (vapors, vapors), yo (yo)

They caught the vapors (vapors, vapors)

Does it? (Does it?)

They caught the vapors (vapors, vapors)

(Yo, I'm ready to turn off the party, this is a true story)

They caught the vapors (vapors, vapors)

And you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know

They're called the vapors

You know I'm not joking (not joking, joking, joking)

They're called the vapors

Now my name-, my name is Biz Markie

You know Big Daddy can't get they smart

And my partner Domestic Movie

And I can't forget the original, my manager

Original flood top, no flood top with jokes

And Mr. Magic Red Alert, just to chill out

Everybody else, and everybody out there

Brooklyn Queens in my heart

I can't forget all the girls out there giving their coochie

I can't forget the original, Tradoni and everybody else

And, uh, everybody out there

Called the vapors (the vapors)

I am the originator of the vapor

The legible kid

Ah, ah, I quit!

Urgh, huh-urgh

The girls with the under-arm holder

And then after that, I'll release my album called

"Thick and Boldness" (Thick and Boldness)
