Imperial
Rah Digga Lyrics

Flipmode the imperial
Flipmode is the powerful, dominant force in the rap scene

You know you love it when you hear us on the radio
Everyone feels the excitement and enjoyment that comes from hearing Flipmode on the radio

Go cop the joint and play the shit up in your stereo
Buy our album and listen to it on your stereo, because it's worth it

Or in the streets up in your Jeeps, or in the disco
Listen to our music wherever you go, in your car or at the club

And if you want the fly shit, my nigga, here we go
If you want the fresh, quality music, we have it for you right here

You know it's Digga lookin' pretty in the video
Rah Digga looks good in the music video

With Bus-a-Bus up in the cut, but you don't hear me though
Busta Rhymes is in the video but isn't being noticed

Just when you think we done we hit y'all, we got plenty mo'
Just when people thought they've seen it all, Flipmode still has more to offer

Blow!
End the verse with a strong, commanding word

It be's the little mama, lip gloss and eyeliner
Rah Digga describes herself as a small woman who wears makeup

The only shit poppin' like White Castle or the Donna
Rah Digga is the one and only music artist who's as popular as fast food chain White Castle or clothing brand the Donna

Rah Digga make the joints that the DJs blast
Rah Digga's music is so good that even DJs frequently play it

Ghetto diva in the Source with the three page ad
Rah Digga is featured in a three page advertisement in The Source magazine as a female icon from the streets

Watch as the hood rat messiah climb swiftly
Rah Digga is becoming a figure of hope for people in her community who feel overlooked

Labels scared to death to let their artist bomb with me
Record labels are hesitant to let their artists collaborate with Rah Digga, for fear of being outshined

'Cause you can send your thuggest MC and watch me son 'em
Even the toughest rappers can't compete with Rah Digga's skills, as she will 'son' them (i.e. beat them)

The ruggedest bitch don't even rhyme about gunnin'
Rah Digga is tough but doesn't rap about guns like other rappers do

Got joints circulating like them old karate flicks
Rah Digga's songs are as popular as old school karate movies

Buncha Rah Digga shirts on some big body chicks
Rah Digga's merchandise is worn by curvy ladies

Throw my shit in your hoopty or your luxury trucks
Listen to Rah Digga's music in any kind of car

And make the quickest turn around like 'dro for twenty bucks
When you hear Rah Digga's music, you'll immediately want to turn up the volume

And I'll still be the greatest if this rap shit fail me
Even if she fails in the rap industry, Rah Digga still considers herself one of the best

Back to jackin' bootleg flicks from out the deli
If she fails, Rah Digga will resort to pirating movies from the deli

Livin' off the interest
Rah Digga is successful enough to live off the interest of her investments

Sippin' on Tequila with my logo on the side of fuckin' eighteen-wheelers
Rah Digga is prosperous enough to have her logo on 18-wheelers and enjoy drinks like tequila

Ay, yo, yo, yo
Busta Rhymes starts his verse with an attention-grabbing, hype-building phrase

Raze and dazzle niggas like y'all
Busta Rhymes is going to shock and impress everyone listening

Spread niggas like you and dismantle niggas like y'all
He will dominate and destroy anyone who tries to oppose him or his group

I got the thing that'll majorly handle niggas like y'all
Busta Rhymes has a powerful weapon (whether a gun or his skills) that can take down anyone

Fight y'all; bust a semi and cancel niggas like y'all
He's ready to fight and defeat people using his semi-automatic firearm

I know some joke niggas who love to hassle niggas like y'all
Busta Rhymes knows some people who like to provoke and annoy others like them

Talk, and fix, and simply dance on niggas like y'all
He will criticize and belittle them by noting their foolishness and weaknesses

Trample niggas like y'all
Busta Rhymes will dominate and crush them physically and metaphorically

Make examples outta niggas like y'all
Busta Rhymes will use them as a warning to intimidate and scare others

Grit their teeth and cock the hammer up inside the dance hall
He will prepare for a potential fight even in the middle of a party

Thugs - here's another sample for niggas like y'all
He's giving inspiration or motivation to fellow tough guys listening

Or for the ones who pass and light a Roman candle for niggas like y'all
It's also for those who show respect but aren't directly involved in their lifestyle

Fight for niggas like y'all
Busta Rhymes is fighting for and representing people like them

Grab the mic from motherfuckers like y'all
He'll take the microphone and show he's better than others trying to rap

Blow the spot in the night for all my niggas like y'all
He'll make the party even better for the people listening and enjoying themselves

My get high niggas; I blaze for niggas like y'all
For his friends who like to smoke weed, Busta Rhymes will smoke with them

Stink the spot up with 'dro; now spray the fuckin' Lysol
They're going to smell like weed, so he's joking about a way to cover up the smell

You know we be the ultimate
Busta Rhymes asserts that his group is the best

We fuckin' with some other shit
Their music is different, original and unique

And when we hit y'all
When they perform or release new music

Yes, we sit and watch y'all niggas ride the dick
They sit back and watch other people follow their style and be influenced by them

Aiyyo, clap and slap up a nigga for talkin' lots a whack shit
Busta Rhymes will physically confront anyone who talks negatively about him or his group

While I roll around with the Harriet Tubman of this rap shit
He compares himself to Harriet Tubman, a heroic figure who led slaves to freedom, because he's a leader in the rap scene

Black chick, with intellect; who want to match wits?
Rah Digga is a confident woman, challenging others to try and compete with her intelligence

Write my own rhymes so can't no nigga tell me jack shit
Because she creates her own lyrics, no one can claim credit for or criticize them

Master shit, Flipmode exclusive across the map and shit
Busta Rhymes and his group are masters of the rap game, and their music is enjoyed everywhere

Presenting the first lady of the squad so give me dap and shit
Rah Digga is the first woman in the group, and he's introducing her and asking for recognition

Sayin' peace when you see me; play the role like Ally Sheedy
Be respectful and acknowledge her like an actress in a famous movie (The Breakfast Club)

And I ain't gon' join ya cipher if the weed's too seedy
She won't participate in smoking marijuana if it's low quality

Yo, make sure you see what we doing now; put on your binoculars
Pay attention and observe what Flipmode is doing at this moment

Then I gas ya like a paid Latino down at Banco Popular
He'll hype up and excite people like a gas station attendant or banker would

Rah Digga underground and gon' always blow the spot for ya
Rah Digga is underground and can still lay down some amazing tracks that people will love

Longest runnin' shit since the Phantom of the Opera
Flipmode has been dominating for a long time, similar to the long-running musical Phantom of the Opera

Bus-a-Bus, going down as one of the greatest spoken philosophers
Busta Rhymes is not just a rapper, but also a wise philosopher

Holding a 12-shot semi with a little red dot for ya
He's holding a powerful gun with a red laser sight

First and only female unmatched by anyone
Rah Digga is the one and only female rapper who can't be compared to anyone else

Rip it from old school to the next millennium
She can rap amazingly in any era, and adapt to new styles and trends

Blow!
The word 'blow' ends the song powerfully and with emphasis
