Get Busy |
| Look, my squad half-Mandrill, half-Mandela |
| My band 'bout seventy strong just like Fela |
| Yeah, part Melle-Mel, part Van Halen |
| and we represent Illadel, where they still rebellin' |
| Hey yo, Sicko show like Mike Moore |
| My city ain’t nothin’like yours |
| Slippin’into darkness like war |
| Nightcrawl with the lights off |
| You see a lot of life lost for the white horse |
| Regardless, the charges makin’us all targets |
| All on the red carpet, guns from the black market |
| Eh, who got the politicians in they back pocket? |
| Pimp slap, pump that, give me that profit |
| When you make contact, give me that gossip |
| If you break contract, you’ll be that hostage |
| They gettin’busy and the city is raw |
| Better dead bolt the door, it ain’t safe no more |
| Southside «Get Busy» |
| Northside «Get Busy» |
| Westside «Get Busy» |
| Worldwide «Get Busy» |
| «Get Busy""Get Busy""Get Busy» |
| Approach with caution, be cautious, when talkin’to bosses |
| I feel I’ve been through a metamorphis |
| I’m mutated by unknown forces, the feeling of course is Something that’s hard to describe |
| I’m half-dead, never felt more alive |
| Reborn, remove the gold coins from my eyes |
| I’ve been down, but now I’m back up |
| I’m 'bout to act up, boy, you better back up When you see me, set up shop, know to pack up |
| 'Cause I crack up, when a rapper get slapped up Number one reason y’all should give rap up Dice, it’s mines, I got it all wrapped up |
| I’m kinda like W.E.B. |
| Du Bois |
| Meets Heavy D and the Boyz, smooth as a Rolls Royce |
| Built like a tank, smokin’on dank |
| Walkin’through the Guggenheim, Raw Life, Black Ink |
| Southside «Get Busy» |
| Northside «Get Busy» |
| Westside «Get Busy» |
| Worldwide «Get Busy» |
| «Get Busy""Get Busy""Get Busy» |
| Now on your mark, uh-huh, get set |
| Go cop everything you ever heard by Peed Crakk |
| Dice Raw and Black, fuck the internet |
| Buy a baseball bat, break a bootlegger leg |
| All I listen to is vets, you’re fresh off the step |
| I’ll come directly at your OG neck |
| I’m used to the 1,2 check, not the 1,2 step |
| I’m strapped, I’ll leave every cat among you wet |
| Now let’s go, you know I’m politically incorrect |
| At the show, I start it with a «Can I get a 'ho'?» |
| And the ho’s go retarded |
| The po-po tape off the stage for caution |
| It’s bad lands, North Philly get it in It’s Crakk man, used to back spin |
| Now I spend stacks and stacks |
| and Uncle Sam tryin’to tax all my hard earned raps |
| Damn, we makin’Yens, Pesos, Euros, we representin' |
