Do it now
Mos Def/Busta Rhymes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Back up, back up, back up, back up
Back up back up back up back up ease off
This goes out to all area crew (yes yes)
To my BK crew to my QB crew
My LI crew, my Shaolin crew
My Dirty South crew
(What y'all niggas about the Dirty South?)
Atlanta, North Cakalak'
For all my fam, all area crew
Yeah man!
Yes, the first cut should be the deepest
To penetrate beyond the muscle wall's inner regions
First you was icing me, connect with the staring at the speakers
Heard the rhyme, head high, what ya staring at ya sneakers
You shy now, got a lot of things on your mind now
You don't feel fly now, you hunting the exit sign down
Fuck what you heard, cause I snatch the grapevine down (yea yeah)
Don't understand how I ran the line down, rewind now
Yo We be the most magnetic, so athletic
Leave your peeps on the side so they can watch you and your mans get it
Take the arch rivalry stance up on the podium
And give the flavor to niggas but keep it low on sodium
Possess shit that got you wondering how we holding 'em
Things that'll lay you out like a piece of linoleum
Bring who-ever you want, we bout to bug son and bounce
Down to Henry Hudson, after I bust one!
Yo Mos Def!
Alright okay
How you feel?
Feeling great
What ya want?
I wan' do it to death, whats up wit you?
You know my steez
True indeed
Say it loud
Black and proud
Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate
Do it now!
Bust-a-Bus
What-a-gwan?

Feeling great!
What you want?
I want to do it to death, what up with you?
You know my steez
True indeed
Say it loud
Black and proud
Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate
Do it now!
Hay dios mio, me and Bustarimo
The hottest Negroes en Los Estados Unidos
Hotter than Reno when discovered by Bugsy Siegal
I'm black like Don Cheadle shouting power to the people
My rhymes dipping like the lifeline on the e-boat
The raw sugar cane, NutraSweet, never Equal
If you in a Benzito or your mother's Buick Regal
I get up like Chino shouting power to the people!!
Yo, me and the Mighty Mos shine like a light post
Live nigga shit be straight fucking up the white folks
That's why they with it now, because niggas like me and you
We did it now, brought it to that level so they get it now
We graduated saturated the game now
Infatuated with the fame now let me explain how
We doing this, at any time or any place ready willing and able
Let's get the dough secure the food on the table
Yo Mos Def!
Alright okay
How you feel?
Feeling great
What ya want?

Black and proud
Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate
Do it now!
From East West North and South I got joints for all of those
Heavy aquatic water flows keep them on they toes
Tell them thugs that want to be CEO's to be derobed
'Fore I wear your little dumb ass out like Easter clothes!
Yo, yo-yo yo-yo
It's like a freak show, soon as my heat blow
Sometime I speak slow so people understand my street flow
And while we keep it hot, we got the most shine up in
This whole shit, me and Mos spit and blow the show quick
Watch out! Your pussy sound get bucked Souf
Mos 'n Bussa Rhymes too bad man-a-shutout
Watch out! Give a damn what fancy car ya hop owt
Shut down your game like the NBA lockout
Ya better watch out! I'm bout to black on niggas
Like I'm blowing on a sax, blowing my gats on niggas
Blowing my raps on niggas, now let me mash out
We fatter than the biggest ass chicks poking they ass out!
Hey Mos Def

Mannn this beat goes crazy!!! I was nodding my head so hard to this and then when I heard that flow and beat switch at 0:47, I had to press stop, took of my headphones, because that was too much heat to handle, so I had to listen again to catch the bars. Now that's real Rap at its finestπ₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
