Various Artists - Marley Marl Scratch lyrics

[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 s**er 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 demand Marley won't you get on and show 'em where you stand [Verse 4] He can go on but I won't insist How many fortunate MC's have a DJ like this Every time I grab the mic I always have a plan He's DJ Marley Marl and I am MC Shan Combined we're fresh, this you must admit Don't ever wanna hear you say we ain't worth jack To be a DJ or an MC well it isn't no thing If you ever wanna learn then just give us a ring Like I just said, it wasn't no thing You either have to be a ace, a jack, a queen or a king When you're one of these, that means you're the best And the people of today won't settle for less We can be a jack or king, we can play the place But we'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 DJ's already tried There ain't been one yet that's qualified To think you can beat him, you must be nuts Just listen real close to his scratchin' cuts [Verse 6] The man Marley Marl can bring you to tears He's not a new jack, he been down for years On the two turntables I would say he'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 Don't refer to him as the neighbourhood jock To all you DJ's who are always fessin' 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?
