featuring MC Shan 
Verse 1 
All these beats and my rhymes attached 
Form the new creation called the Marley Scratch 
We're always steered in a positive course 
His beats my rhymes combined make force 
I say it's like a force 'cause the force is strong 
And if you think we're weak I'd say you're wrong 
All you other DJ's are a bunch of jerks 
Marley give 'em an example how a DJ works 

Verse 2 
Since you just heard how a DJ sound 
The name Marley Marl, I will break it down 
The M is for Master of Scratch 
And if the needle was to slip it's the needle he'll catch 
The A is a letter that you set apart 
I wouldn't call his beats music, I would call it Art 
The are just stands for the way he Rock 
Which is 24-oh-7 around the clock 
The L is for Lyrics that I write 
When put to his music sounds out of sight 
The E is for Every beat he make 
Which sucker DJ's persist to take 
Don't play with the why 'cause it isn't a game 
You ax "Why do you put the other DJ's to shame?" 
After this there shouldn't be a story to tell 
At the end of that is M-A-are-L 
This paragraph here has come to a end 
Marley, can we hear your funky fresh scratchin' again? 

Verse 3 
I never got caught in the game of Tag 
My name is MC Shan, no need to brag 
MC's brag about theirself all through their rhyme 
You can see I got quality, won't waste my time 
If I did not mean it, I wouldn't have said it 
I'm gonna give the man behind the wheels some credit 
I'm not tryna say that he can't be beat 
But Marley Marl can stand on his own two feet 
Since a DJ like him is so in demand 
Marley won't you get on and show 'em where you stand 

Verse 4 
He can go on but I won't insist 
How many fortunate MC's have a DJ like this 
Every time I grab the mic I always have a plan 
He's DJ Marley Marl and I am MC Shan 
Combined we're fresh, this you must admit 
Don't ever want to hear you say we ain't worth jack 
To be a DJ or an MC well it isn't no thing 
If you ever want to learn then just give us a ring 
Like I just said, it wasn't no thing 
You either have to be a ace, a jack, a queen or a king 
When you're one of these, that means you're the best 
And the people of today won't settle for less 
We can be a jack or king, we can play the place 
But we'd rather be a DJ and an MC ace 

Verse 5 
If you ever want to battle, be at your best 
Because a man like Marley just does not fess 
In that battle you must give your all 
Or just be prepared to take your fall 
'cause a lotta DJ's already tried 
There ain't been one yet that's qualified 
To think you can beat him, you must be nuts 
Just listen real close to his scratchin' cuts 

Verse 6 
The man Marley Marl can bring you to tears 
He's not a new jack, he been down for years 
On the two turntables I would say he's nice 
Every cut he makes is so precise 
When I said precise inside my rhyme 
To put it to you straight that means right on time 
Every jam he throws he always rocked 
Don't refer to him as the neighbourhood jock 
To all you DJ's who are always fessin' 
From this man you can learn a lesson 
You heard Dimples D when she took her stand 
She said (Marley Marl is one hell of a man) 
Gotta get it off my chest, to put my mind at ease 
Since when you heard a DJ make cuts like these?
