Watch me get down and just do my thing baby [Repeat: x8]
Who! Yes yes y'all

Flipmode is the place to be, in the place to be
Party people it's me, let me do my thing
Let me do my thing, let me do my thing
Let me do my thing, just, check me out now
Open up your door, let me on in
I just be wonderin, if I could "do my thing baby"
Y'all think fast, before I get, all in your ass
Bend your frame like plexiglass
You motherfuckers, be actin like you, don't know the half
You and your whole staff, make me laugh
Y'all, you need to sing my song
With your similar features like Olivia Newton-John
Damn, ho! I make the whole place warm, then
hit you with some shit that make you niggas look deformed
Now, stay tuned to every Busta Rhymes, coming soon
I will King Kong on niggaz like guerilla monsoon, soon
Whoaahhh, what seems to be the whole analysis?
Busta Rhymes just be rippin shit, type miraculous
Bang you on your head so hard, shit be formin callouses
Let me get this loot so we can move up in these palaces
[Chorus]
Word is bond
Let me do my thing, let me do my thing
Let me do my thing
Flipmode is the Squad, let us do our thing
Let us do our thing, hah
Yes yes baby, Busta Rhymes
Let me do my thing!
Let let let me do my thing, hah!
When I step in the place you should keep your mouth closed
Take your fat finger out your nose
You should just pay attention, and watch how I wild on records
Make you sing, "The Lord is my shepherd!"
In the process I do away with all nonsense
Hit you with magic like my name was Pocahontas
The dread, gon' make you party til you dead
Niggas quick to talk shit, Opos! Upside your head
Put your head to bed, let me do my thing, 'nough said
Shit so hot make your chickenhead do the spread
Tell me what you said, I said I never leave you misled
While you bullshit, I'd rather get the lucci instead
Flip until you fall
Whyling in your whip, til you crash into a brick wall
Through the nine-six, I be that nigga that be priceless
Always blowing up your spot, bringing more surprises
You, you know you really need to come clean
Let me do my thing, don't you even try to intervene
I will endanger your species like an ostrich
Hold you hostage, and crazy feed you swine sausage
HAH! I be the number one chosen just to keep you open
Chill with your thoughts I got your brain frozen
Pay the prices made the needed sacrifices
To present the grand opening of Flipmode Enterprises
[Chorus]
Let me do my thing!
Let me do my thing, please!
Let me do my thing, Flipmode is the Squad y'all!
Let us do our thing, please, let us do our thing
Oh yes it's me, yes it's the Squad
Flipmode, we gon' do our thing
Let me do my thing for nine-five, nine-six, suck dick
Yes I got the bag full of brand new tricks
Dead in the face, yes I'm gon' hit you with hits
Oh my God, me and my niggas
Let me get down, do my thing [Repeat: x4]
