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 One]
Check him out, check him out, check him out, check him out
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
to your kids, be in class before the bell ring
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 Two]
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 Three]
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]
