Murder
Busy Bee Lyrics

I was walkin down a dark way, trouble had to find me
I was in a dangerous place and knew something bad would happen.

The street corner shark was comin up behind me
A dangerous person was sneaking up on me.

I grabbed my pistol, punk started to whistle
I took out my gun and the other person acted scared.

Like you got a missile, boy, you know this'll
The other person acted like they had a weapon, but they knew they were in trouble.

Be fun, I put my hand up on my gun
I was excited to use my gun.

He tried to cut me on run, huh - but yo, I'm not the one
The other person tried to escape, but I wasn't going to let them get away.

Flexin up the trigger finger, a dead ringer
I was ready to pull the trigger and shoot the other person.

I'm not a singer, and life just don't linger
I'm not a poet, and life is short.

But I looked the boy in his eyes, and he almost cried
I saw fear in the other person's eyes.

But before he died
But then I killed him.

Murder
Killing someone in cold blood.

In the first degree
Pre-meditated and intentional.

That's what you get when you're messin with the Busy Bee
Bad things happen when you mess with me.

You better write your will
You'd better be prepared to die.

I'm Busy Bee, I pay the bills, dressed to kill
I make a living by doing things that are deadly.

Murder style
Killing in my own way.

A black guy on Howard Beach
Referring to the Howard Beach racial incident.

A boy lay bleedin from his head to his feet
Someone was injured badly.

The police writin up his report
The police were documenting the incident.

Drinkin coffee from a cup and doin what he was taught
The police were doing their job but not necessarily doing the right thing.

At the academy, mistaken identity
The police may have been taught misguided things at training.

The boy was a friend of me, guess he wasn't meant to be
The injured person was someone known to the artist.

Remedies, diagnosis or cure or a conclusion
There's no good outcome or solution to the situation.

There's no confusion, it's just winnin and losin
There's no doubt someone will come out on top and someone else will lose.

Hey, there's no pity or remorse
The artist has no sympathy for the situation.

There's no pause, cause what's lost is lost
There's nothing that can be done to undo what happened.

Huh, so throw his body in the bag
Disposing of the dead body.

And they'll say that he was high on crack
Trying to shift the blame to the victim.

Girl named Patty drived a black Caddy
A woman named Patty drove a nice car.

The girl was so fine, I wanted to kiss her daddy
The artist was infatuated with Patty's beauty.

Bring her mama out to dinner
Inviting Patty's mother out for dinner.

Bring Patty to the race track, then bring home a winner
Going to the race track and hoping to win.

Buy her earrings and medaillons
Buying Patty jewelry.

I got juice by the gallon

But she got legs like a stallion

Plus to be a cutie's her duty

She got brains plus beauty

Bumpers, and she got no breaks

So when she walks her shimmy'll shake

The way she move, the way she pose

She knows how to put on - and even take off clothes

I never leave her, I never desert her

She so bad - the bitch was murder
Patty is so attractive, it's sinful.

Dance, sucker
Taunting someone.

A pretty good-lookin, fine young lady
Describing a woman.

Drivin a Mercedes, soon to have a baby
Pregnant and driving a nice car.

Three months gone, she's treated like a pawn
She's being treated like she doesn't matter.

And all the joyridin good times - all that was gone
Her life has changed significantly for the worse.

Her world changed, she was feelin strange
Her life changed and she felt different.

Things was runnin through her brain, cravin, hunger pains
She was experiencing cravings and hunger pains.

And her friend, he stopped goin steady
Her boyfriend left her.

Then reality hit her - she realized she ain't ready
She realized she wasn't ready for a baby.

So now she must proceed with caution
She needs to be careful in what she does next.

And sneak to the clinic and gettin an abortion
She's getting an abortion, but needs to do so secretly.

They're both foetal, the less is too evil
Aborting the fetus is the right thing to do.

It' still raw, but still legal
Abortion is still a controversial topic.

In Bed-Stuy
Referring to Bedford-Stuyvesant, a neighborhood in Brooklyn.

It's do or die
The situation is a life or death one.

It's no why
The reason doesn't matter.

Why's a crooked letter
There's no reason for things to happen, it just does.

Yes, let's go get her
Let's get the person we're after.

You better met my beretta
You're in trouble if I bring out my gun.

(Why?) The song set her
The music is influencing the situation.

Don't do the crime
Don't break the law.

If you can't do the time
If you can't handle the consequences.

Do let her get away
Don't let her escape.

To pray you must lay
If you get caught, you'll have to face consequences like jail time.

Because if you get caught
If you are caught by the police.

You get the time anyway
You'll be given the punishment regardless.

A lotta guys went to jail who ain't ready
A lot of people end up in jail unprepared.

The only thing worse than a criminal is one that's petty
Being petty is worse than being a criminal.

Go to jail to get large
Going to jail to seem tough or cool.

He's doin life - what's his charge?
He's serving a life sentence but what did he really do?
