Calm Down
Busta Rhymes Feat. Eminem Lyrics

Turn my mic up
Increase the volume of my microphone

Lower the casket down (down!)
Bring the casket down to the ground

Sprinkle the ash, or get your ass kicked, pow!
Either scatter the ashes or face physical consequences

Frown while I shit on your crown, skip town (town!)
You'll be unhappy as I disrespect you and then leave

Ground zero, Shapiro, the king cash cow
I am at the starting point, referencing Ben Shapiro, the person who is highly successful

Do I make 'em say 'Wow!'? Strip! (Ow!)
Am I impressive enough to make them say 'Wow!'? Strip off their clothes

Bow! I sit with the pound, click, blaow!
Bow before me! I'm armed and ready to shoot

Click, click, (blaow!) Click, (blaow!)
The sound of loading a gun and then firing it

Stop traffic, dropping them classics, flip now
Pausing traffic with my hit songs and causing a sensation

Bitches, I'm making them skip with thou
I am influencing women to dance and skip with me

Art, you don't really want start, when I growl
Artists, you don't want to start a confrontation with me when I express my anger

(Rawr, rawr, rawr!) Let me come and mop up the knockoffs
I will eliminate the imitations and establish my dominance

When I pop off and never stop, 'cause
When I start rapping aggressively and don't stop

When we do come through, you better lock doors (pause!)
When we arrive, you should secure your premises

The wolves wanna eat, peep how they lock jaws
There are people who are eager to harm and dominate others

No need to cook up the coke, you see? We cop raw
No need to process cocaine, we buy it in its pure form

And if you ain't had enough
And if you haven't experienced the full extent

What in the fat fishes of a phenomenal fahrvergnugen fuck is going on?
What in the confusing and incredible world is happening?

Back with the B.A Baracus, callous bang, on another song
Returning with aggression and toughness, making an impact on another song

I'mma have these niggas nervous
I will make these individuals anxious and worried

And clipping they nails and dribbling
They are so nervous that they are unknowingly biting their nails and trembling

And witness them, nibble them, like sunflower seed shells
Observing them nervously nibble on themselves, like eating sunflower seed shells

See these scales, got my weight up heavy, like three whales
My success and influence have increased greatly, like the weight of three whales

And I shit on these males, till it's stinkin'
I disrespect these males until it creates a foul and unpleasant situation

Fouler, than a weed smell, nigga, your tree fell
Even more offensive than the smell of marijuana, your reputation has completely fallen apart

See how they Twitter, Facebook and Instagramming an email?
Observe how they use social media platforms to communicate and express themselves

Talking I'm sick, I got them shook and I bang 'em at retail
They claim I'm mentally ill and I intimidate and defeat them, proving my worth

Until they cripple, see I cook, like I'm slanging a weed sale
Until they are incapacitated, I excel like I'm selling drugs

Until I triple bred, and whoop 'em and drag 'em like females
Until I defeat them soundly and humiliate them like women

Oh, see well, these niggas already know
Oh, you see, these individuals are already aware

The way that I fuck shit up, minus the details, the case is shut
They are aware of my ability to cause chaos, without needing to know the specifics

Your bitch remind me of replacement butt
Your female companion resembles a substitute for a sexual partner

Kind of an ancient slut, it's going down
She is somewhat promiscuous and things are getting intense

Like she was a basement fuck
As if she was involved in secretive and scandalous sexual encounters in a basement

Swell up this shit, like I'm sticking steaks in they gut
I will make this situation even more intense, like stabbing them with sharp objects

So gracefully and graciously, I painfully wake niggas up
With elegance and poise, I forcefully awaken individuals

Ragdolling these niggas, and attacking
I am dominating and disrespecting these individuals, aggressively

Like apes in the cut, I'm waiting for the taking
Like a predator hiding, I'm waiting for the opportunity to exploit them

While I break niggas neck, like a bracelet (fuck!)
I am figuratively breaking their necks, just like snapping a bracelet

It's kinda like, me having a case in the truck
It's similar to me possessing illegal items in my vehicle

And drinking 'til I'm blasted
Drinking alcohol until I become heavily intoxicated

Harassing and erase a nigga (what!?)
Intimidating and eliminating an individual completely

Keeping 'em open and blacking until I'm leaving 'em stuck
Engaging and surprising them until they become paralyzed in shock

And got 'em happier, than a child in a park chasing a duck
And they are more delighted than a child pursuing a duck in a park

While I'm chasing a buck
While I am pursuing money

These funny niggas be chasing they luck
These foolish individuals are pursuing their luck

I be lacing them up, like boots
I am providing them with knowledge and guidance

When I'm pushing they face in the mud (Ah!)
When I am humiliating them and causing them to be defeated

Missiles I fling, while I spit live wire
I aggressively attack with my powerful words

'Til this shit circling back around
Continuing this cycle of chaos and destruction

With more fire for me to melt a brick surfacing back a sound
With even more intensity for me to destroy and dominate the music industry

While I light up shit that'll cause a quick worship
While I create music that will draw immediate praise and admiration

And gather around, it's certain this shit'll splatter cliques
And people will gather to witness the widespread impact of my music

Painful and make 'em scatter (blink!)
Causing pain and making them disperse quickly

Shameful, the way I shatter (split!)
Embarrassing them with the way I break and divide

Shit apart, it doesn't matter (rip!)
Destroying and disregarding everything, it doesn't matter

Your head up off your shoulders (with)
Decapitating you mentally (with)

Bullets bigger, than a boulder
Projectiles that are larger than a rock

And they break 'em and they know it's (classic!)
And they cause destruction and they are aware that it is impressive

And the way it's going, you could easily get your (ass kicked)
And considering the current situation, you could easily face defeat

See, me and Shady together we're crazy
Me and Shady, when combined, are uncontrollable and unpredictable

Like baking a vomit and rabies cake, like a pastry bitch
Creating something disgusting and dangerous, like a rabies-infested cake, metaphorically referring to a woman

(We that sick!) Like I come from Haiti
Saying we are sick in a talented way, comparing myself to someone from Haiti

I'm suggesting you pay me, don't make me wanna spaz
I am implying that you should compensate me, or else I may react explosively

(Al-la-la!) Like I'm a crazy Israeli (bastards!)
Uttering a vocal sound effect and comparing myself to an unpredictable Israeli person

While I bite the beat up, and I'm starting to heat up (uack!)
While I aggressively attack the beat and my intensity is increasing

And I'm chopping your foot off
And I am metaphorically severing your stability

Now it's mine, and I'm putting my feet up (black!)
Now I am in control and I am relaxing

Back to the hood and off to the wild
Returning to the neighborhood and embarking on a chaotic journey

And I'm hoping you protect your child
And I hope you take care of your child

And I been blacking out so long
And I have been in a state of blackout for a long time

Niggas is asking if the hook had died, nah
People are wondering if the chorus of the song had ceased, but no

But the beat is fried!
But the instrumental is exceptionally good

(Steady on the right) Ayo, calm down, nigga
Maintain composure, my friend

(Steady on the left) Ayo, calm down, nigga
Stay steady and composed, my friend

(Steady on)
Stay stable and controlled

('Yo, chill, man chill!')
('Hey, relax, calm down!')

(Steady on the right) Ayo, calm down, nigga
Stay steady and composed, my friend

(Steady on the left) Ayo, calm down, nigga
Maintain composure, my friend

(Steady on the right) Ayo, calm down, nigga
Stay steady and composed, my friend

(Steady on the left) Fuck it, blackout, niggas!
Forget about composure, let's go all out!

Apparently, there's a light contagiousness to this tirade
Evidently, there is a contagious sense of intensity in this outburst

It just might make you sick, so irate
It has the potential to make you feel angry and upset

With this my brain is just like a fucking fried egg
My mind is in a chaotic and scrambled state

Is my mind scrambled? 'Cause I'm lit narrow minded
Is my mind confused? Because I am focused and narrow-minded

But go through such a wide range of this emotion
But I experience such a broad spectrum of emotions

That my rage has gotta squeeze through it sideways
My anger needs to find a way to express itself within this emotional range

I just pulled up in Clive Davis's driveway
I just arrived at Clive Davis's property

With his personal memoir, saying 'He's bi!'
Holding his personal book and revealing a controversial detail about him

Waving a nine, a picket sign, egging his ride
Waving a gun and a sign of protest, provoking his reaction

Making him cry, 'Rape!' Then arrive naked
Causing him to cry and accuse someone of rape, then showing up naked

And drive straight through the gay pride parade
And proceed to drive directly through the LGBTQ+ parade

'Yay! Yippee-Ki-Yay!', 'Cause here I
'Yay! Yippee-Ki-Yay!', because here I am

Wait, did the world just pee on my leg?
Wait, did the world just humiliate me?

And should I take it as a sign
And should I interpret it as a symbol

Maybe to take 'em back into time? (Shady!)
Perhaps to take them back to a previous era? (referencing Eminem)

I stuck out like a sore thumb, so I gave 'em the finger
I stood out prominently, so I raised my middle finger at them

To take the attention away
To divert the focus

From my stinking face it was bringing
From the unpleasant situation I was causing

Changed the whole complexion of the game
Altered the entire nature of the game

But just in case you was thinking an inkling of replacing
But just in case you were considering replacing me in the slightest

The kingpin of crazy, you're wasting your ink then
The top representative of insanity, you're wasting your effort

So if this is any indication of what you may be facing
So if this provides any indication of what you might encounter

You better make a distinction 'cause you fake imitations
You need to differentiate because you are false replicas

Are leaving a bad taste, fuck making a bad impression
They are generating negative reactions, forget about making a negative impact

That's the worst impersonation I've ever seen
That is the most terrible imitation I have ever witnessed

Who raps nasally? Eyes hazely?
Who raps with a nasal tone? Eyes looking hazy?

Rhymes crazily, but sounds like he may
Raps in an insane manner, but his voice suggests

Need some Flonase when he's speaking?
Needs a nasal spray to clear his congestion when he speaks?

What kind of stupid question is that?
Why would anyone ask such a dumb question?

'Hey, Mrs. Abraham Lincoln!
'Hey, Mrs. Abraham Lincoln!

Other than your husband's fucking brains that were leaking
Apart from your husband's brain matter that was oozing out

How'd you think that play was this weekend?'
What did you think of that play this weekend?'

You ain't the real Slim Shady, sit your ass down, faggot (ww)
You are not the real Slim Shady, so sit down, derogatory term

See me on a ballot, I'm running for class clown
When you see me on a ballot, I'm running for the title of class clown

Rich Democrat, bitch, so I'm just the candidate
A wealthy Democrat, so I am the suitable candidate

To come fuck up the whole party
To completely disrupt the entire event

Me and Flipmode starting a campaign
Me and my group, Flipmode, beginning a movement

To have every campus, on a fucking rampage
To have every college campus involved in a chaotic and destructive event

Act my goddamn age? I am eight!
Act my actual age? I am only eight years old!

So let's get smashed and wake up the next day
So let's get heavily intoxicated and wake up the following day

With the room trashed, covered in Band-Aids
With the room in complete disarray, covered in adhesive bandages

Glass ashtray smashed
The glass ashtray is broken into pieces

Champagne splashed on the lampshades
Champagne is spilled onto the lampshades

But this ain't up for debate, this is undebatable
But this is not open for discussion, it is indisputable

Shady for president, ho, don't make me go take it back
Shady for President, don't make me retract my statement

To the days of old, with Sway & Tech radio
To the old days, with Sway & Tech radio show

When I was taking so much NoDoz and LSD
When I was consuming a lot of NoDoz (caffeine pills) and LSD

I almost fell asleep on the Wake Up Show
I was so exhausted that I almost fell asleep on the Wake Up Show

Fuck you telling me, fools?
You can't tell me anything, fools?

I was rippin' shop, raisin' hell up in Drew's
I was causing chaos and havoc at Drew's (unknown location)

When Penelope Cruz was still developing boobs
When Penelope Cruz was still growing breasts

Me and Bus put it down, like a sick pet
Me and Busta Rhymes delivered a significant performance, like taking care of a sick pet

You're fucking with vets, dog, fucking internet bloggers
You're messing with experienced individuals, while internet bloggers are insignificant

'I sit in front of my computer all day
'I sit in front of my computer all day

And comment on everything, I'm an expert on everything, everything sucks play the next song!'
And I comment negatively on everything, I pretend to be knowledgeable about everything, everything is terrible, play the next song!'

Guess if I hopped out your freaking laptop, you idiot prick
Imagine if I emerged from your laptop, you foolish person

With Biggie and kicked the living shit out you, I'd be dead wrong
If I collaborated with Biggie and physically assaulted you, I would be morally wrong

Son of God I'm the S.O.G
As the Son of God, I am the Special Operations Group

Like a wet log, pores never get clogged
Like a wet log, my pores never get blocked

'Cause I'm so full of self-esteem, that I sweat fog
Because I am so confident, I exude a fog-like vapor

Yes, yes, y'all (Wah!) Steady on the left, y'all
Yes, yes, everyone (Wah!) Stay stable and composed, everyone

Step off, 'fore you get stepped on
Back off, or else you will be overpowered

Soft? 'Bout as commercial as my fucking Learjet
Not soft at all, as commercial as my luxurious Learjet

Jealousy'll get you green as a Chia Pet
Jealousy will make you envious, as green as a Chia Pet

I can see that you're visibly upset, dog
I can see that you are visibly angry, my friend

Alert, alert, girl alert
Warning, warning, attention girls

Once you enter in my house of pain, you're in a world of hurt
Once you become involved in my intense situation, you will experience a lot of pain

So ('Jump around! Jump! Jump!')
So ('Jump around! Jump! Jump!')

Get that ass shaking ('Jump around! Jump!')
Encourage your buttocks to move energetically ('Jump around! Jump!')

Came to hit you with a fan favorite
I came to perform a well-loved song for you

But if you too fly for coach better get them arms
But if you think you're superior, be prepared

And freaking hands flailing and ('Jump!')
And your hands flailing around energetically ('Jump!')

Like Van Halen and pray for a damn tailwind
Like Van Halen, energetically moving and hoping for favorable conditions

More afraid of success than I am of failure
More fearful of achieving success than experiencing failure

So what does that tell ya?
So what does that indicate?

That on a grand scale, I don't give a fuck about nothing
On a large level, I don't care about anything

Like Stan mailing his last piece of fan mail
Similar to Stan, sending his final fan mail

Before he ran straight into the damn railing
Before he made the fatal decision to run into a barrier
