This Is Something for the Radio - Biz Markie

(Verse One)

This is another hit from Biz Markie

Dedicated to the radio, not he or she

Be-cause it's time for them to get recognized

This is my version of the Nobel Peace Prize

That's why I'm comin out my face like this

Far as negativity, you never get dissed

If it wasn't for you, nobody would know

That's why this is something for the radiohhhh

(Verse Two)

This rhyme is dedicated to the radio DJ's

That play all the hits on seven days

And even on the weekends, the DJ's will be freakin

Without a doubt because everyone is unique-and

The way they cut the records, and be talkin

It sound doo doo EXTRA CRAZY DEF on the Walkman

To all the disc jockey's that's on the go

This is something for the radiohhhh

(Biz ad libbing a harmony of "for the radio" randomly)

Now I'ma kick it like this

(Verse Three)

I'd like to thank all the people state to state

For requestin my records on the radio great-ly

appreciate what you've done for me

And my reward to you is my M-U-S-I-C

Straight up, I make the music just for you

So you can do the extra crazy Biz Mark dance too

Or even do the dance made up by yourself

As long as you're in good phy-sical health

Because you're the one that make the radio hype

Like fresh tobacco and a brand new pipe

A program director always pick the right hits

Like puttin some salt and pepper and butter on grits

I ALWAYS look up to program directors

Cause they're the ones, the jam selectors

A couple of years ago when I didn't have a record player

On the radio I thought to myself sayin

If I ever get the chance to playin my stuff

I'm gonna make everything extra tough

Cause radio will last to infinity

As long as my name is the B-I-Z

Emmezah-A-R-K and I'm hear to say

Number one entertainment form in the like U.S.A.

Cause if it wasn't for you, nobody would know

That's why this is something for the radiohhhh

(Biz ad libbing a harmony of "for the radio" and singing shoutouts)

(Verse Four)

This is the conclusion of just the beginnin

of hip-hop on the radio, mix never endin

Story and fightin, just to get the right and

have our respect on a station that's excitin

In about two years, I will be a superstar

Be able to buy anything I want, even a car

Cause if it wasn't for you, nobody would know

That's why this is something for the radiohhhh

Yo I'd just like to say it like this

(Cool V scratches to fade)
