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 cos 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 R 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 Y cos 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-R-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 wanna hear you say we ain't worth jack
 To be a DJ or an MC well it isn't no thing
 If you ever wanna 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 wanna 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
 Cos 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
