Lyrics

A one two, a one two
A one two, a one two
I'd like to introduce myself
My name is Biz Markie
Well, I'm the human orchestra called Biz Markie
Makin' music orderly is my specialty
When I go, a one two, girls get excited
When they hear my lyrics, they wanna recite 'em
I know you're in the mood, just go with the flow
And I can play rappin' records and old disco
Like Beat It, Billie Jean by Michael Jackson
Or the Treacherous 3 record they call Action
When you hear me do it, you will be shocked and amazed
It's the brand new thing they call the human beatbox craze
Make the music with your mouth, Biz
Make the music with your mouth, Biz
Make the music with your mouth, Biz
Well, I don't just do the beatbox, I rock on the mic
And all the rhymes that I say, all people like
I get the crowd jumpin', get the girl's hearts pumpin'
All the party people say, "Isn't he something?"
Rock from New York City all the way down South
Sayin' rhymes and makin' music with my mouth
I'ma tell you party people how I began
It started when I'm livin' in Long Island
Hey, when I was a kid, I used to play in the street
Makin' sounds with my mouth, all sorts of beats
Grown people used to say 'What?'
Grown people used to say
What's wrong with that kid makin' that strange noise?
It was like, for all the fly girls and all the homeboys
Then I tried it at a homeboy's basement party
They thought it was a record, they ain't know it was me
When they came by the DJ and saw who it is
They said, make the music with your mouth, Biz
Make the music with your mouth, Biz
Make the music with your mouth, Biz
Make the music with your mouth, Biz
It may look and sound easy, doin' the human beatbox
But it's real difficult, even knocked me out my socks
It's a movement combination with your lip, tongue and throat
Use your teeth and your nose for a mysterious high note
I like doin' it as a hobby or a job
People treat me like a star and surround me at the bar
It's not all the props, spittin', breathin' hard and doin
You need practice, be ambitious in the schoolin'
Let me tell you party people, you gotta admit
Anything that you want, you gotta work hard for it
That's why I like doin' sounds, it's hard to achieve
Makin' two or three sounds at one time, you can't believe
When I walk down the street, people crowd around me
And say, "How you make all them sounds at one time, Biz Markie?"
I tell 'em it takes a lotta practice and lip control
I've been doin' it since fifteen years old
And everywhere I do it, the people say I'm good
I even get big respect in my own neighborhood
I'm tellin' you a fact, it's just like it is
Even moms, pops and cops say, "What up, Biz?"
Everywhere I go, I always rock the boat
Gonna end this rhyme with this one note
Not gonna act conceited and say I'm the best
But I'm guaranteed to pass any kind of test
I say them rhymes with funky fresh lyrics
When I do the beat, the party people go into hysterics
Make the music with your mouth, Biz
Make the music with your mouth, Biz
Make the music with your mouth, Biz
You heard the proceeding, now here's the sequel
All human beatboxes is not created equal
That's why I'm here to say today
That I'm doin' my beat in a special way
Makin' musical tunes, orally, I have perfected
I'm very well known and greatly respected
I like to thank people without no doubt
Peace high, party people, it's time to break out
Make the music, make the music
Make the music with your mouth
Make the music, make the music
Make the music with your mouth
Make the music, make the music
Make the music with your mouth
Make the music, make the music
Make the music with your mouth
Make the music
Gonna make it with your mouth
