Marley Marl
Sucker D.J.’s (I Will Survive)
I was at a jam the other night
I was feelin' real good so the feelin' was right
I came to the party for a different kinda action
The next thing I know I was doin' the Michael Jackson
I was thrown off beat and my feet got tired
The Sucker DJ just oughta be fired
He was clippin' and a-slippin', even tried back cuein'
The Sucker DJ didn't know what he was doin'
Then I said to my girls "This ain't the place to be"
Half the fellas only came 'cause the ladies were free
So we left the place before the next cut was played
My girl said to me, "I'm glad we never paid"
So I called Marley Marl on the very next day
Then we cut a rap about the Sucker DJs
See, to be a DJ you gotta do your best
Have you're own kinda style, not like the rest
No jumpin' up and down, spinnin' with your feet
'Cause the music that you play has to be on beat
So Marley Marl went down to take a test
To see who could cut up music best
They were all lined up and ready to spin
You could see in their faces that they wanted to win
