Biz Markie - Check It Out lyrics

rate me

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]
