Albee Square Mall

[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

[Chorus: 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 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 there that try to compare

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

[Chorus: 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 Game 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 cafeteria, could be shoppin' plenty

From store to store just stuffin' 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

[Chorus: 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)
