Biz Markie - Check It Out Lyrics
Yo.. this is kinda slow
But I know the Jeeps gon' be pumpin it
But this is, this is one subject, that nobody don't know about
[Verse 1]
With the beat I'm gonna rock the house
When you hear my golden voice, you know it's me
The poetical, energetical rap MC
Well that's not the subject matter of to be cool
I'm just tellin you girls and fly kids, stay in school
I always reminisce when I was in class well
But you feel like a simpletone when you get expelled
Or, even if you have a couple of days in detention
It's just as good as one bad suspension
So when you're grown up, you'll say the same thing
But you know, kids is kids
To them high school is like a three year bid
I'm not gonna tell a lie, I used to cut class
Until the principal straight got in my ass
He said, "Biz the only way you're gonna get a BM
is to get your education instead of hangin with him"
So I got my head together, and chilled the hell out
And now all the break-breakers says is check him out
[Chorus]
Check him out, check him out, check him out, check him out
With the beat I'm gonna rock the house
Check him out, check him out, check him out, check him out
With the beat I'm gonna rock the house! [echoes]
[Verse 2]
Now this is the second part of this lesson
I'm sayin it this way cause it's my profession
You don't have to go to high school to be an MC
But you got to know the value and means, of money
Cause a lot of parents, they are taxpayers
So it's real stupid, when you disobey a
principal, vice principal or even a teacher
Cause when you do that, you know you'll never reach a
higher level, or even your goal
Because, you don't wanna listen to what you're told
So please take heed, to what I say
I hope I'm not sayin it for my health today
Cause if I am please tell me, so I can stop
It's not like I'm your mother sister brother or pop
So come on and listen to me without no doubt
So you can be educated and have, clout
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I'm just tellin young people to stay away from drugs
Cause if you mess with that it'll make you bug
Whatever you wanna, like call it, I'm tellin you
Don't become a drug addict or alcoholic
Because it will mess with your mind and brain
And only thing you wanna do is fiend and complain
Cause I'm tellin you just like this off the top of my head
Don't mess with it, cause you will be misled
by other people, devils and demons
I'm Biz Markie, I'm not Alfred Simmons
I'm just tellin you to do this, without no doubt
Cause I'm the Biz and I got the clout
[Chorus]

Biz Markie Check It Out Comments
At the time i didn't even realise he wasn't hardcore..classic.
Come on man. Damn biz goes off. And it 2019. Great stuff.
Best beat ever....
Can i tell you old schoolers something?
I was 16 when this came out,and i always played rap songs for my mom to try to explain them to her,i would always have to press pause and tell her what the rapper said since she didn't understand him..but she never had to have me press pause for Biz Markie ,she really liked Biz Markie,and thought he was extremely intelligent.
Speed. It up. To x1.25
hip hop dx reported that Biz owed 50 cent money. but if any MC owes another it would be Jay Z owing Biz for originating this sample concept by Yvonne Fair. when i first heard Where Im From i was like oooh thats that Biz. and Jay Z is a BillionairE!!! mo money than 50 cent. wondering what biz would owe him cash for anyway
DAYUUUUUUM!!!!! This song is not fair. And the beat....... Someone should be locked up for this.
#Dope
Props to Cool V the secret beatmaker with all the juice crew shit
