Get Busy
Dice Raw Peedi Crakk Jazzy Jeff Lyrics

Look my squad's half mandrill half Mandela
My group is a mix of fierce and progressive individuals, like half animal and half the great South African leader.

My band bout seventy strong just like fela
My musical group has around 70 members, similar to the band of Nigerian musician Fela Kuti.

Yeah part melly mel part van halen
Our music is a combination of the rap style of Grandmaster Melle Mel and the rock sound of Van Halen.

And we represent illadel where they still rebellin
We come from Philadelphia, where people are still fighting against the system.

A yo sicko show like mike moore?s
Our performances are like those of the controversial documentary filmmaker Michael Moore.

My city ain't nothing like your?s
Philadelphia is very different from other places.

Slippin into darkness like WAR, nightcrawl
We are descending into the darkness, like the band WAR's song, going out at night.

With the lights off, you see a lot of life loss for the white horse
Without light, there is a lot of violence and harm inflicted on innocent people.

Regardless, the charges makin us all targets
Despite everything, authorities see us as troublemakers and are targeting us.

All on the red carpet, guns from the black market
Even at glamorous events like red carpet events, people are armed with illegal weapons.

Ay who got the polititians in they back pocket ?
Who is controlling the politicians and making them do what they want?

Pimp slap pump that gimmie that profit
We demand our rightful share of the profits from our work.

When you make contact gimmie that gossip
When you meet me, give me all the juicy information and rumors you know.

If you break contract you'll be that hostage
If you go against our agreement, you are putting yourself in a difficult situation.

They getting busy in the city it's raw
People are getting active and energetic in the city, it's intense and real here.

Better deadbolt the door it ain't safe no more
Lock your doors tight, it's not safe out there anymore.

Approach with caution be cautious when talking to bosses
Be careful when interacting with those in positions of power.

I feel I?ve been through a metamorphis
I feel like I have transformed and experienced a significant change.

I'm mutated by unknown forces
I have been changed in ways I didn't anticipate, by unknown sources.

The feelin of course is something that's hard to describe
It's difficult for me to explain how I feel right now.

I'm half dead never felt more alive
Even though part of me feels destroyed, I have never felt more energized.

Reborn removed the gold coins from my eyes
I feel like I have a new perspective on life and am now seeing things more clearly.

I been down but now I'm back up
I have gone through tough times, but I am now back on my feet.

Bout to act up boy you better back up
I am about to make a move, so you better step back.

When you see me set up shop know to pack up
When I am around setting up, you should be prepared to leave soon after.

I crack up when a rapper gets slapped up
I find it amusing when an overconfident rapper gets put in their place.

Number one reson ya?ll should give rap up
The reason why many people should stop rapping is that they are not doing it well.

Dice it's mine, I got it all wrapped up
I am in control and have mastery over my craft.

I'm kindda W.E.B. Dubois meets Heavy D and the boys smooth as a Rolls Royce built like a tank smoking on gank
I am a mix of intellectual and physical strength, with a smooth and powerful presence.

I'm walking through the Guggenheim Raw Life Black Ink
I am living life and creating art in a way that is gritty and unrefined, like unpolished ink art in the Guggenheim Museum.

Now on your mark get set
Get ready to start and get going.

Go cop everything you ever heard by P.Crack Dice Raw and Black
Go buy all the albums made by Peedi Crakk, Dice Raw, and The Roots in order to truly experience their music.

Fuck the internet buy a baseball bat break a bootlegger leg all I listen to is vets, your fresh of the step
Don't rely on the internet for music, but instead, take physical action against bootleggers. I only listen to established, experienced musicians, not newbies.

I come directly at your OG neck
I am challenging the authority of your original gangster influence.

I'm used to the one two check not the one two step
I am familiar with and ready to fight, not just dance along.

Um strapped I'll leave every cat among you wet
I am carrying a weapon and will use it to harm anyone who tries to challenge me.

Now lets GO! you know I'm politically incorrect
Let's get going and take action! I am not politically correct and do not care about mainstream expectations.

At the show I start it with a can I get a ho and the hoes go retarded
At my concerts, I start by asking for some energy from the crowd, and then the women go wild with excitement.

The popo tape off the stage for caution, its badlands north philly get it in!
The police are blocking off the stage area out of caution, as it is a dangerous and impoverished part of Philadelphia. Let's get started with the show!

Its crack man, used to backspin now I spend stacks in sack's and uncle sam tryin to tax all my hard earned raps damn! we makin yin, pesos, euros, we representin'..
This is amazing! I used to be a breakdancer, but now I am making serious money from my music. Unfortunately, even Uncle Sam is trying to get a cut of my earnings. But still, we are making money in various currencies and representing our music all around the world.

Southside get busy ya?ll
Let's get active and energized in the southern part of town.

Northside get busy ya?ll
Let's get active and energized in the northern part of town.

Westside get busy ya?ll
Let's get active and energized in the western part of town.

Worldwide get busy ya?ll
Let's get active and energized all around the world.
