Biz Markie Albee Square Mall Lyrics

Albee Square Mall Lyrics

[ VERSE 1 ]



On the mic at this time in the place to be



I'm the Inhuman Orchestra called Biz Markie



That made you dance, make the music with my mouth, and all



But I'm here to talk about the Albee Square Mall



A place where people shop in downtown Brooklyn



Where I can be found if you're lookin



For me, the B-i-z, so just come check me out



Cause 24/7 I'm mikin the house



So when I come in the Mall, and then I start to roam



You wouldn't think it's a store, you would think it's my home



Cause when I come in the place, then I hang up a sign



Reads 'home sweet home' - this house is mine







[ T.J. Swan ]



Albee Square Mall



My house is the Albee Square Mall



My house is the Albee Square Mall



My house is the Albee Square Mall



My house is the Albee Square Mall







[ VERSE 2 ]



I been to many malls from state to state



But I've never been in, say, one this great, I hate



To say, about the other shopping centers that's left



But the Albee Square Mall is the doo-doo-def



I be in there everyday, walkin around chillin



>From when they opened all the way until when



It's about time for the place to close



I'm just running things like a pair of panty hose



They all know me, the Biz Markie



I get more respect than the average employee



Could work in every store in the mall



Because the place is my house from wall to wall



If I could move in, party people, I just might



So I could stay forever, and it won't be just like



A bum that you see sleepin on a park bench



So how will it be when you see Biz Markie



I fade them all, been havin fun



See, to me this mall is like number one



And any other shoppers that try to compare



There ain't no way they could hang out with Albee Square







[ T.J. Swan ]



Albee Square Mall



My house is the Albee Square Mall



My house is the Albee Square Mall



My house is the Albee Square Mall







[ VERSE 3 ]



I step in the place and shop around for a while



Buy some jewelry for Treny and Ali, and after that I'll



Go take a stroll inside of Gibb's Pups



Then buy some fresh silks, Bally's too



Next stop Olympic, wanted to buy some sneakers



Then hit the ??? room to pick me up a Cesar



Stroll around with a fly female



While security's riffin about leanin on the rail



After that I go eat some food at Wendy's



In the Albee cafateria, could be shoppin plenty



>From store to store just stuff in my face



And I do the pfrr-one-two while sayin my grace



Finally I step off all alone



Up to the top level to use the telephone



Never use a quarter, cause I got a calling card



So I can reach out and touch everybody I know



That's where I be until the day is done



Just coolin in the place that's number one



So next time you'll be in Brooklyn walkin around



Play like _Price Is Right_ and 'come on down'



And







[ T.J. Swan ]



Go shoppin



Go shoppin



Go shop - let's all go shoppin	(3x)







Go shoppin



Go shoppin



Go shoppin - Swan and Biz go shoppin







La-la-lala



La-la-la-la-lala		(till end)
