We Write the Songs Songtext
von Marley Marl feat. Heavy D & Biz Markie

Hey yo what you wanna know?
I wanna know if you can rock the disco show

Now yes, on the smooth tip, the Overweight Lover
I'm on your radio and your magazine cover
I drink Coca-Colo, remain the rhyme solo
Always wear Nike but, once in awhile I sport polo
Before I go to bed, I drink my milk and eat cookies
Never like school, so I used to play hookie
New jacks of rap, I choose to call 'em rookie
Your choice is the Heavy D voice, now you can boogie
Emcees think I'm new to this, they must be dizzy
'Cause on the microphone have to keep the crowd busy
Nothing in the world could ever stop my groove
The Overweight Lover's in the house, and I can get smooth

We write the songs that make the whole world sing
We write the songs to all the crazy things
We write the songs that make the emcees cry
Me and Heavy D, we write the songs, we write the songs


So party people in the place, without further adieu
The S-K-B-I-Z-M-A-R-K-I-E is for you
Well I'm [?] number one with the rhymes I invent
[?] story to all you ladies in the gym
Guaranteed to rock the mic and take out all your emcees
That's why you hear me rockin' as one of the best
I'm come first place, in any contest
With the bass in your face that you'll appreciate
I'm no ad-lib I'm legend in the all times of green
You know the emcees are the hell of a predicament
They go against the S-K-B Markie in this tournament
I go to a party, I am a spectator
When you battle me, I am [?]
I'm [?] in the place for a testing [?]
Chilling for the money you're spending
I came here to write beats for you satisfaction
Biz Markie and Heavy D is the special attraction
When I came to the door you pay ten duckets
If you battle me I take you out to
