The Statement - Busta Rhymes
Yeah, yeah
Why y'all show off
We show up
How many times do I gotta remind you n_ggas that I'm one of the greatest?
And I will just rewrite the pages of every history book while they askin' me, "Save us"
From all of this other bullsh_t that they be listenin' to while you just amaze us
And me and my n_ggas just step inside the building and they just get on their knees and they praise us
They kiss a ring and then they just might just argue and then fuss
You the only god we trust
Imperial Busta Bust, I be f_ckin' sh_t up just because, wait
I appreciate your patience, but all you n_ggas should face it
There's no one that's greater than me
Thirty years later, f_ck sh_t up like we still in basements
We want all you haters to see
Piss on your face, give you facelifts
Now shut up and cater to me
Pricelessness, b_tch, I'm the nicest, I make all you haters agree
Watch the way I'm runnin' circles around on these n_ggas
Know why they so afraid of me
I'm only here to inspire you and set sh_t on fire
And give you what you came to see, see (Hold up)
(Hold up) Hold up
N_gga, f_ck your conversation, make sure you have my compensation
N_gga, f_ck you contemplating, my hungry n_ggas out here waiting
And know none of them n_ggas patient, they do not like to tolerate sh_t
If the money come up short, better find you a new occupation
If you lucky enough to survive the situation
I don't do good moderatin'
I stay out at all of that and mind my business
For feelin' the greatest at my obligations
F_ckin' up the street and
F_ckin' up the street and get worse when I be on my concentration
Body every individual with minimal complication
Get you some sh_t that be swallowin' up every nation
Just cover all accommodations
While we continue to f_ck up the street in everything
I'll flatline your whole operation
N_ggas worry 'bout they future
I f_ck up everything they use to
Walkin' back and forth and pacin', I get the streets another booster
The return of Mansa Musa
I ain't got no time to waste it
What I do, you can't replace it
Impossible to appraise it
The nicest, my n_gga, prices, my n_gga, we timeless
I hold all the dice, let me shake it
While we f_ck sh_t up again and again
Securin' every win
Why you n_ggas talkin' basic?
Shinin' so much, how we grindin' so much
We ain't never complacent
Feeding every street forever
Me and my n_ggas be workin' so hard, we gettin' so much money together
Animal skin I be in
Most you n_ggas patent leather, we call it whatever
Most of the time, it's a pleasure to give you lyrics like a treasure
So much jewelry from an era
Give you more than you could measure
Most of you bozo-ass n_ggas that be movin' around
They call you birds of a feather, whether
Or not you think you hot, so you cannot f_ck with me, never
See most you n_ggas out here think that you cool
I'll give you sh_t from my ancestor
And it don't matter how much you imagine
Try me if you think you better, better (Better)
