Greatness, yeah, yeah

Baby Sham, I'm known for the crud
First night pops off with a couple of slugs

[Busta Rhymes]
And how you doing?

[Baby Shaman]
You see what I'm workin' wit, it's beyond rap
Stick to the fact, that chapped lips get convexed
Palm that, look where the arm's at, nigga need to launch that
Now tell me what the problem be, is that I'm scorching them
To flood these streets, hot not partially, cock back the toast
Put your heart for free, so what it feels like to hear me crushin' a beat

The illest broad Digga, reppin' Brick City
If I'm lying may the Lord come strike my left tittie

[Busta Rhymes]
AND HOW YOU DOIN'?

[Rah Digga]
Undisputed metaphor rap queen, always cookin' up some shit
Like mom's a crack fiend, so what's the word
Strike a nerve when I'm speakin'
Any emcee whether black or white, or Puertorriquen
I'm the big dog, you just a cat stuck in a tree
Not one of y'all cocksuckers fuckin' wit me

[Chorus: Busta Rhymes]
So who are we? (Flipmode)
Got you gaspin' for air, hot shit motherfuckers
Throw your hands in the air

To put it down until it's over and our time is up here
So who are you?

Rampage, new tenant, pack big still
Fuck what ya heard, I'm ready to kill

[Busta Rhymes]
And how you doing?

[Rampage]
Day criminal, street thug material
Flipmode Imperial, top breakin' officer
Fuck around we warnin' ya, 21 gun salute

Flipmode, the streets, bigger than Bayroots

[Busta Rhymes]

Hard-to-toucha, one bad motherfucker

[Busta Rhymes]
And how you doing?

[Spliff Starr]
Gangsta bitch, deadly like cancerous
I bring it where your parents live, show you what your status is
Steam-boil your cabbages, I can't take y'all niggas fagotness
You about to die, show him where his casket is
You wanted beans, I had your hood under siege
Guns get squeezed, and bullets hit your knees

[Busta Rhymes]
SO WHO ARE YOU?
Bus-A-Bus now, somethin' fo' sho'
Keep 'em whilin' till somebody's left a leak on the flo'
And how you doing?
We've been awaitin' the God, to make an under novel entry
Controllin' everything in the yard
Rugged like General Custard it seems
How we crush grapefruit, niggaz, and make a mustard out of your team
You know we hotter than the 4th of July
So sit back and watch the fireworks show light up my name the sky





[Chorus]
