"I'd like to introduce myself" - Biz Markie 'One MC, One DJ'
[Verse One]
I'm wasting time writing poignant rhymes
I got a better chance getting paid with an unemployment line
I'm hot and unsigned, my blood boils
Been shot down so many times, I'm surprised I ain't struck oil
Empty promises, pitiful label politics
I've suffered ages man, save a vote of confidence
I've been polished, go ahead and put the wax on
I'm gonna shine man, I'm not gon' be pa**ed on
Y'all rapping cats need to sit and listen
Ripping me is like a Siamese twins making a split decision
My inner vision is 20/20 with no blind spot
And flow y'all set a watch to, like the theme of 60 Minutes
I'm getting into this to raise the stakes
But I'm the type to tip the table if I hate the way the game is played
Cause I can walk away with nothing and laugh
Before y'all get the satisfaction of f**ing with Raks
[Hook] {x2}
It's the run around
I get the run around
Y'all can keep your contract, I don't want it now
Yeah, these labels man, they giving me the run around
It's the run around
I get the run around
[Verse Two]
So I'm reserved
And introverted at best
Cause I'm trying not to relate like a paternity test
And when I'm bustin' it's nothing short of divinity
Yeah I flirt with success but yet to take her virginity
To put it simply, I'm working hard
I've been planting seed for years and I still ain't seen a harvest
A starving artist that's an arduous task
But yo I bite the hand that feeds and break it's arm right in half
I'll rip you off of the dome for dissing me
Plus release a written track to add insult to injury
Up in this industry to win you gotta break bread
And I make enemies a lot quicker than I make friends
You want a favor? I'd rather die
I wouldn't pull no strings for you if we did a tandem skydive
Cause I can walk away with nothing and laugh
Before y'all get the satisfaction of f**ing with Raks
[Hook]
{x2}
I keep running, running, I keep running {x4}
It's the run around, yeah, the run around
