Marley Marl - Albee Square Mall lyrics

[Verse 1] On the mic at this time in the place to be I'm the Inhuman Orchestra called Biz Markie That made you dance, make the music with my mouth, and all But I'm here to talk about the Albee Square Mall A place where people shop in downtown Brooklyn Where I can be found if you're lookin For me, the B-i-z, so just come check me out Cause 24/7 I'm mikin the house So when I come in the Mall, and then I start to roam You wouldn't think it's a store, you would think it's my home Cause when I come in the place, then I hang up a sign Reads 'home sweet home' - this house is mine [Chorus: T.J. Swan] Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall [Verse 2] I been to many malls from state to state But I've never been in, say, one this great, I hate To say, about the other shopping centers that's left But the Albee Square Mall is the doo-doo-def I be in there everyday, walkin around chillin From when they opened all the way until when It's about time for the place to close I'm just running things like a pair of panty hose They all know me, the Biz Markie I get more respect than the average employee Could work in every store in the mall Because the place is my house from wall to wall If I could move in, party people, I just might So I could stay forever, and it won't be just like A bum that you see sleepin on a park bench So how will it be when you see Biz Markie I fade them all, been havin fun See, to me this mall is like number one And any other shoppers there that try to compare There ain't no way they could hang out with Albee Square [ T.J. Swan ] Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall My house is the Albee Square Mall [ VERSE 3 ] I step in the place and shop around for a while Buy some j**elry for Treny and Ali, and after that I'll Go take a stroll inside of Gibb's Pups Then buy some fresh silks, Bally's too Next stop Olympic, wanted to buy some sneakers Then hit the Game Room to pick me up a Cesar Stroll around with a fly female While security's riffin about leanin on the rail After that I go eat some food at Wendy's In the Albee cafateria, could be shoppin plenty From store to store just stuff in my face And I do the pfrr-one-two while sayin my grace Finally I step off all alone Up to the top level to use the telephone Never use a quarter, cause I got a calling card So I can reach out and touch everybody I know That's where I be until the day is done Just coolin in the place that's number one So next time you'll be in Brooklyn walkin around Play like "Price Is Right" and "come on down" And [ T.J. Swan ] Go shoppin Go shoppin Go shop - let's all go shoppin (3x) Go shoppin Go shoppin Go shoppin - Swan and Biz go shoppin La-la-lala La-la-la-la-lala (till end) [ Biz gives shout-outs ]
