I Told You Lyrics - I Need A Haircut - Biz Markie

This is for those who didn't believe 

That me, myself they said I couldn't achieve 

My goal or even get to my destiny 

To be the s-k-b-i-z 

It was a rough road, for me to pursue a 

Career in rap to make you say hallelujah 

For those who did, I'm not talkin to you 

Cause I couldn't be there with-out you 

Everytime I see you they always say 

I knew you was gonna make hits someday 

But then when I was strugglin hard, word 

A peep of help from them was never heard 

I always knew that, I was gonna make it 

No matter how much beef and aggravation I take it 

And if you try to hold back me and my crew 

Remember, I told you.. 

I told you.. 

I'ma give you one incedent from my past 

When I had short money, goofy pants off my ass 

I used to go to block parties my cousin had served 

And see how people who made it, kicked others to the curb 

And then I said if I was in their spotlight 

I would treat everybody, equally right 

To get where I'm at now, I used to hand out flyers 

From school to school, for new york and l.i.ers 

It was me and mike from ike and then they used to do it 

He said if you wanna be like them you gotta keep to it 

So I kept at it, cause it was hard work 

I told em I was makin a record, they gave me a smirk 

Like if I was incapable of doin the deed 

Or virtually impossible for me to succeed 

You must be crazy if I wouldn't pursue 

Only thing that I can tell you is I told you.. 

I told you.. 

Now now now this is how it's endin 

Just like any other story, it is splendid 

I said to ty if you let me come out with a cut 

They will never ever stop shakin they butts 

So I came out with "make the music with your mouth biz" 

An introduction to me, and told it like it is 

Some said it was beginner's luck, with this record 

Then I showed em with "nobody beats the biz" and got respected 

I threw em off with my song "pickin boogers" 

It was acquired taste, for different kind of sugars 

I got international like twin skyscrapers 

With my album "goin' off" and my single "the vapors" 

Since I produced my own, they said it would end 

Cause it took a year and half to come out with "just a friend" 

It went platinum, my album went gold 

Altogether it was one point five records sold 

So don't ever try to hold back me and my crew 

Only thing that I can say is, I told you.. 

I told you.. 

So when anybody try to, mess with your head 

Just go for what you wanna go for in life, aight? chill
