Featuring mc shan
Verse 1
All these beats and my rhymes attached
Form the new creation called the marley scratch
Weand're always steered in a positive course
His beats my rhymes combined make force
I say itand's like a force cos the force is strong
And if you think weand're weak iand'd say youand're wrong
All you other djand's are a bunch of jerks
Marley give and'em an example how a dj works
Verse 2
Since you just heard how a dj sound
The name marley marl, i will break it down
The m is for master of scratch
And if the needle was to slip itand's the needle heand'll catch
The a is a letter that you set apart
I wouldnand't call his beats music, i would call it art
The r just stands for the way he rock
Which is 24-oh-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 djand's persist to take
Donand't play with the y cos it isnand't a game
You ax andquot;why do you put the other djand's to shame?andquot;
After this there shouldnand't be a story to tell
At the end of that is m-a-r-l
This paragraph here has come to a end
Marley, can we hear your funky fresh scratchinand' again?
Verse 3
I never got caught in the game of tag
My name is mc shan, no need to brag
Mcand's brag about theirself all through their rhyme
You can see i got quality, wonand't waste my time
If i did not mean it, i wouldnand't have said it
Iand'm gonna give the man behind the wheels some credit
Iand'm not tryna say that he canand't be beat
But marley marl can stand on his own two feet
Since a dj like him is so in demand
Marley wonand't you get on and show and'em where you stand
Verse 4
He can go on but i wonand't insist
How many fortunate mcand's have a dj like this
Every time i grab the mic i always have a plan
Heand's dj marley marl and i am mc shan
Combined weand're fresh, this you must admit
Donand't ever wanna hear you say we ainand't worth jack
To be a dj or an mc well it isnand't no thing
If you ever wanna learn then just give us a ring
Like i just said, it wasnand't no thing
You either have to be a ace, a jack, a queen or a king
When youand're one of these, that means youand're the best
And the people of today wonand't settle for less
We can be a jack or king, we can play the place
But weand'd rather be a dj and an mc ace
Verse 5
If you ever wanna battle, be at your best
Because a man like marley just does not fess
In that battle you must give your all
Or just be prepared to take your fall
Cos a lotta djand's already tried
There ainand't been one yet thatand's qualified
To think you can beat him, you must be nuts
Just listen real close to his scratchinand' cuts
Verse 6
The man marley marl can bring you to tears
Heand's not a new jack, he been down for years
On the two turntables i would say heand's nice
Every cut he makes is so precise
When i said precise inside my rhyme
To put it to you straight that means right on time
Every jam he throws he always rocked
Donand't refer to him as the neighbourhood jock
To all you djand's who are always fessinand'
From this man you can learn a lesson
You heard dimples d when she took her stand
She said (marley marl is one hell of a man)
Gotta get it off my chest, to put my mind at ease
Since when you heard a dj make cuts like these?
