Ei Ya - Biz Markie

Yeah

Y’all know how this goes down

Doin' it funky!

Uh-huh, that’s somethin' for the DJ’s to cut up

They know (Funky)

Okay, break it down

On your mark, get set, let’s go, you know it’s me

The incomparable, SK, the B-I-Z

I know it’s been a long time since you heard me

Do the beatbox and rock an LP

But right about now in 2003

I gotta make one to rock the party

As I change back from DJ to MC

Now it’s time to get funky

For the ladies, for the fellas

East, West, North, South

My style is really outrageous

And when you hear the song it’s really contagious

It’s simple enough, be understood by all ages

But it will make you go out like gorillas in cages

I used to sing songs myself but now I can’t

I need the party people to help with this chant

I need y’all to sing a lil' somethin' like this

Ei ya ya ya, oi ya ya ya

Ei ya, oi ya, ei ya ya ya

Ei ya ya ya ei ya (Ei ya ya ya ei ya)

Sha na na na, na-na-na-na-na (Sha na na na, na-na-na-na-na)

Ei ya ya ya ei ya (Ei ya ya ya ei ya)

Sha na na na, na-na-na-na-na (Sha na na na, na-na-na-na-na)

Ei ya ya ya, oi ya ya ya

Ei ya, oi ya, ei ya ya ya

I was a rap king

But you know, on the tables I’ve been doin' my thing

Like Lisa Stansfield, I’ve been around the world

I’m from New York, like Earl the Pearl

But since I live in Washington I’m Redskin like LeVar

Hangin' at Dream and V.I.P.

like a superstar

But I don’t buy the bar, I buy a Red Bull

And sip and look at all the chicks that’s beautiful

Like dark-skinned, light-skinned

White, Puerto Rican, Italian

I like to see them dance and drippin' with sweat

Givin' them more than they were supposed to get

Winter, spring, summer or fall

Whether you’re eatin' food or drinkin' alcohol

They gonna rock your body all night long

'Cause this beat, it kick your ass like King-Kong

Listen to B, I am the

Original S-K B-I-Z, RRAHHAAAAHAHHHHHHH

Ei ya ya ya ei ya (Ei ya ya ya ei ya)

Sha na na na, na-na-na-na-na (Sha na na na, na-na-na-na-na)

Ei ya ya ya ei ya (Ei ya ya ya ei ya)

Sha na na na, na-na-na-na-na (Sha na na na, na-na-na-na-na)

Ei ya ya ya, oi ya ya ya

Ei ya, oi ya, ei ya ya ya

You can do the hokey pokey or even the wop

I don’t care what you do baby, just don’t stop

A zunga zeng to the break of day

Listen to the brother with the rhythm rhymes I display

Whether you from New York or L. A

You listenin' to the B-I-Z every day

I was always a class clown, never the teacher’s pet

That’s why right now I’ma do the alphabet

Like A-B-C-D-E-F-G

Q-Rrrah-S, T-U-V

Ah W-X say Y and Z

That’s why a lot of emcees wanna see

If I’m gonna fall off but I’m not G

I’m guaranteed to go all night with rhymes I write

I’ve gotten the mic guaranteed like Entertainment Tonight

So listen as I take a breather

I’m old school New Yorker like my name’s Contiva

I’m Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens

Long Island, New Jersey, and I’m on the scene

Ei ya ya ya ei ya (Ei ya ya ya ei ya)

Sha na na na, na-na-na-na-na (Sha na na na, na-na-na-na-na)

Ei ya ya ya ei ya (Ei ya ya ya ei ya)

Sha na na na, na-na-na-na-na (Sha na na na, na-na-na-na-na)

Ei ya ya ya, oi ya ya ya

Ei ya, oi ya, ei ya ya ya
