  1. Whether in a penthouse or a cave dweller

  2. I can tell you 'bout now I'm not a fortune teller

  3. Grab a treat from Yosi my muffin seller

  4. Got mad technique like Rudy Van Geller

  5. And yes I got a plan I'm a carry out it

  6. Yes I'm pro-choice I'm a scream and shout it

  7. Yes I love life and I try not to doubt it

  8. Yes I'm gonna body 'cause I'm 'bout it 'bout it

  9. When it rains I don't use an umbrella

  10. When I write rhymes, I use indeli-ble ink

  11. That will make you think

  12. Flowing like water that you love to drink

  13. NOW get busy

  14. Sweet like a? filled with Nutella

  15. Creamy like buffalo mozzarella

  16. Sneaking around you know I smell ya

  17. Well I play ya like a peanut and throw the shell ya

  18. Well I could give a fuzz if ya think you're a baller

  19. Against a menehune? well you fall smaller

  20. Middle school rapper and the crowd gets your love

  21. If ya think about your grandma go ahead call her

  22. From the East Coast so I don't say hella

  23. At the mic stand my performance is stellar

  24. Pop the tape in and I listen to Fela

  25. I give a little shout to Nelson Mandela

  26. NOW get busy

  27. Known for the words that make you scream and holler

  28. I'm Count Dooku to your Queen Amidala

  29. Give a shout to Spiros or John Waller

  30. I'm a student of the game and a bonafide scholar

  31. So ease up on the bong to ease that coughin'

  32. Butter's on the table now watch it soften

  33. Bring in those beats and I'm a bring them muffin

  34. I'm a keep rappin' when I'm in my coffin

  35. Like a mind gone mad that is unwinding

  36. In a padded room the walls you're climbing

  37. Don't sign on the line if it looks binding

  38. Ya have to get loose and find the lining

  39. NOW get busy

Now Get Busy

Whether in a penthouse or a cave dweller

I can tell you 'bout now I'm not a fortune teller

Grab a treat from Yosi my muffin seller

Got mad technique like Rudy Van Geller

And yes I got a plan I'm a carry out it

Yes I'm pro-choice I'm a scream and shout it

Yes I love life and I try not to doubt it

Yes I'm gonna body 'cause I'm 'bout it 'bout it

When it rains I don't use an umbrella

When I write rhymes, I use indeli-ble ink

That will make you think

Flowing like water that you love to drink

NOW get busy

Sweet like a? filled with Nutella

Creamy like buffalo mozzarella

Sneaking around you know I smell ya

Well I play ya like a peanut and throw the shell ya

Well I could give a fuzz if ya think you're a baller

Against a menehune? well you fall smaller

Middle school rapper and the crowd gets your love

If ya think about your grandma go ahead call her

From the East Coast so I don't say hella

At the mic stand my performance is stellar

Pop the tape in and I listen to Fela

I give a little shout to Nelson Mandela

NOW get busy

Known for the words that make you scream and holler

I'm Count Dooku to your Queen Amidala

Give a shout to Spiros or John Waller

I'm a student of the game and a bonafide scholar

So ease up on the bong to ease that coughin'

Butter's on the table now watch it soften

Bring in those beats and I'm a bring them muffin

I'm a keep rappin' when I'm in my coffin

Like a mind gone mad that is unwinding

In a padded room the walls you're climbing

Don't sign on the line if it looks binding

Ya have to get loose and find the lining

NOW get busy
