Against All Odds
Busta Rhymes featuring Flipmode Squad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As hollow tips get in you
Bots cutting to slice your face you
Rhymes is natural
Hold two lives and four wives
Up in the crack capsule
Flipmode cruddy styles has been past you
Rush pass
If it was under your nose
Like a mustache, nigga, what ass
Show your whole cheek
Slugs with no heat
Diamonds that don't break
You thugs is so sweet
I float so much I get seasick
Flipmode is the squad who I bee's with
Who I get plucks with
And push German v's with
Rampage I'm psychic I can see shit
To the next millennium
You not goin' be shit
Scratch your name off the list
Cut your wrist
You know the issue
I'm official
When you die none of your niggas is really goin' miss you
Flipmode squad
Here to drop bombs
Against all odds
Still remain gods
Grip your arm
We always come hard
The world is ours
Call a national guard
Here we go
Any bitch that rhyme wanna flex she ass
I'm stomping all things like I'm plexi-glass
Niggas make way like when they hear sirens
Treat you like park and too close to fire hydrants
All up in the board
Kicking back long islands
Get your wig split first solid defiance
Rah earth and sun in this imperial alliance
You do the science
I'm getting money shitting, turn intruders into vixens
Fall off beeper uh-uh niggas stay getting
Dirty nigga for life
That's how spliff's living
Throwing niggas in caskets
Tired of a yellow ribbons
I buck my duck if you touch my one
Rather Jamaican than belly boy make you people for fun
Fat man's son, street educated
The colonel of ghetto jurors, still thug related
Flipmode squad
Here to drop bombs
Against all odds
Still remain gods
Grip your arm
We always come hard
The world is ours
Call a national guard
We enemies of three strike felony laws
Gorilla dicking K-Y jelly for whores
Lap dances trap grands without laws
My baby moms, three eighty for your arms
That bust with loud force
The ghetto with us
That bang Makaveli in trucks
That whatever the fuck to give a cheddar in chunks
Who gazey chase
Fake thugs with lazy aid
Track marks
Rap stars, and a rain of aids
Yo, what you want from us
Now visualize more of us
Stay toting under my given flavor from nauticas
Destroy every arch rival or any challenger
Make you remember this day
Nigga mark it on your calendar
I'm showing you something
You ain't saying nothing
My niggas make noise
Like a bunch of volcanoes erupting
None of y'all niggas really wanna war
The type of nigga to crash my plane in your building
In the name of the law
Flipmode squad
Here to drop bombs
Against all odds
Still remain gods
Grip your arm
We always come hard
The world is ours
Call a national guard
In this song, Busta Rhymes and the Flipmode Squad are flexing their lyrical prowess and dominance, declaring themselves as "gods" who are "against all odds." The lyrics are full of violent imagery and crude language, with references to guns, knives, and death. The rappers boast about their prowess and wealth, with lines like "Hold two lives and four wives up in the crack capsule" and "I'm getting money shitting, turn intruders into vixens." They also take shots at their enemies, dissing them as "fake thugs with lazy aid" and threatening to crash a plane into their building in the name of the law.
The song has a menacing, aggressive tone that reflects the themes of power, dominance, and violence. The rappers use vivid language and clever rhymes to paint a picture of themselves as unstoppable forces, ready to do whatever it takes to maintain their position at the top. The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "against all odds," reinforces the idea that the Flipmode Squad will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

Niggas make way like when they hear sirens
People move out of our way like they would for emergency vehicles

We're punishing you for being in the wrong place at the wrong time
All up in the board
We're in control of the situation
Kicking back long islands
We're relaxing and unwinding with some long island iced teas

Rah earth and sun in this imperial alliance
We're forming an unbeatable and powerful partnership
You do the science
You'll understand how powerful we are if you analyze us closely
I'm getting money shitting, turn intruders into vixens
I'm successful and can easily turn people into my followers
Fall off beeper uh-uh niggas stay getting
We're always successful and never fail
Dirty nigga for life
We're willing to do whatever it takes to succeed
That's how spliff's living
This is how we live our lives
Throwing niggas in caskets
We're killing our competition
Tired of a yellow ribbons
We're over the idea of being awarded for our achievements
I buck my duck if you touch my one
I'll attack anyone who harms my loved ones
Rather Jamaican than belly boy make you people for fun
We'd rather have a carefree island lifestyle than let others control us
Fat man's son, street educated
We come from tough backgrounds and have learned from the streets
The colonel of ghetto jurors, still thug related
We have respect and influence in our community despite our rough upbringing
We enemies of three strike felony laws
We're rebels and don't follow the law
Gorilla dicking K-Y jelly for whores
We're sexually active and don't care about society's norms
Lap dances trap grands without laws
We're making money and living our lives without rules or restrictions
My baby moms, three eighty for your arms
My significant other is armed and dangerous
That bust with loud force
Our weapons are powerful and effective
The ghetto with us
We're from and represent the streets
That bang Makaveli in trucks
We're listening to and inspired by Tupac's music
That whatever the fuck to give a cheddar in chunks
We'll do whatever it takes to make money and succeed
Who gazey chase
We're not interested in superficial things
Fake thugs with lazy aid
We're not impressed by or intimidated by fake tough guys
Track marks
We've overcome our struggles and are successful despite our past
Rap stars, and a rain of aids
We're successful in our careers but also aware of the dangers and risks
Yo, what you want from us
What do you want or expect from us?
Now visualize more of us
Imagine our power and influence growing even stronger
Stay toting under my given flavor from nauticas
We're always prepared and armed with high-end gear
Destroy every arch rival or any challenger
We're determined to defeat anyone who tries to compete with us
Make you remember this day
We'll make a lasting impression on you
Nigga mark it on your calendar
Don't forget the impact we've made on your life
I'm showing you something
I'm giving you a glimpse of our true power
You ain't saying nothing
You're not a threat or a challenge to us
My niggas make noise
We're making a big impact and causing a commotion
Like a bunch of volcanoes erupting
Our impact is explosive and powerful
None of y'all niggas really wanna war
You don't want to mess with us and start a battle
The type of nigga to crash my plane in your building
We're willing to go to extreme lengths to defeat our enemies
In the name of the law
We're doing this for our own version of justice
