Marshall, sounds like an SOS...

Holy wack, unlyrical lyrics Andre, you're fuckin' right...

To the rapmobile, let's go...

{Marshall, Marshall}, bitches and gentlemen, it's showtime, hurry hurry, step right up,

introducing the star of our show, his name is, {Marshall}, you wouldn't want to be anywhere else

in the world right now, so without further ado, I bring to you, {Marshall}...

You 'bout to witness hip-hop in it's most purest, more rawest form, flow almost flawless, most

hardest, most honest known artist, chip off the old block, but ol' Doc is, {back}, looks like

Batman brought his own Robin, oh God, Sadam's got his own Laden, with his own private plane, his

own pilot, set to blow college dorm rooms doors off the hinges, oranges, peach, pears, plums,

syringes, {vnn vnn}, yeah here I come, i'm inches, away from you, dear fear none, hip-hop is in

a state of 911, so...

[CHORUS]

Let's get down to business, I don't got no time to play around, what is this, must be a circus

in town, let's shut the shit down on these clowns, can I get a witness, {hell yeah}, let's get

down to business, I don't got no time to play around, what is this, must be a circus in town,

let's shut the shit down on these clowns, can I get a witness, {hell yeah}...

Quick gotta move fast, gotta perform miracles, gee willikers Dre, holy bat syllables, look at

all the bullshit that goes on in Gotham when i'm gone, time to get rid of these rap criminals,

so skip to your lou while I do what I do best, you ain't even impressed no more, you're used to

it, flows too wet, nobody close to it, nobody says it, but still everybody knows the shit, the

most hated on out of all those who say they get hated on in eighty songs and exaggerate it all

so much, they make it all up, there's no such thing, like a female with good looks, who cooks

and cleans, it just means so much more to so much more people when you're rappin' and you know

what for, the show must go on, so i'd like to welcome y'all to Marshall and Andre's carnival,

c'mon now...

[CHORUS]

It's just like old times, the dynamic duo, two old friends, why panic, you already know who's

fully capable, the two capped heroes, dial straight down the center eight-zero-zero, you can

even call collect, the most feared duet, since me and Elton played career Russian Roulette, and

never even see me blink or get to bustin' a sweat, people steppin' over people just to rush to

the set, just to get to see an emcee who breathes so freely, ease over these beat's and be so

breezy, Jesus how can shit be so easy, how can one Chandra be so Levy, turn on these beats,

emcee's don't see me, believe me BET and MTV are gonna grieve, when we leave, dog fo' sheezy,

can't leave rap alone, the game needs me, 'till we grow beards, get weird, and disappear into

the mountains, nothin' but clowns down here, but we ain't fuckin around round here, yo' Dre,

what up, can I get a hell, hell yeah, now...

[CHORUS]

So there you have it folks, {Marshall}, has come to save the day, back with his friend Andre,

and to remind you that bullshit does not pay, because, {Marshall}, and Andre are here to stay

and never go away until our dying day until we're old and grey, {Marshall}, so until next time

friends, same blonde hair, same rap channel, good night everyone, thank you for coming, your

host for the evening, {Marshall}, oh, ha...
