Marley Marl

3

featuring MC Shan

Verse 1

All these beats and my rhymes attached

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 cos the force is strong

And if you think we're weak I'd say you're wrong

All you other DJ's are a bunch of jerks

Marley give '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 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-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 DJ's persist to take

Don't play with the Y cos it isn't a game

You ax "Why do you put the other DJ's 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 a end

Marley, can we hear your funky fresh scratchin' again?

Verse 3

I never got caught in the game of Tag

My name is MC Shan, no need to brag

MC's brag about theirself 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 d
