Get Busy (featuring Dice Raw, Peedi Peedi & DJ Jazzy Jeff)
[Verse 1-Black Thought] Look, my squad half-Mandrill, half-Mandela My band 'bout seventy strong just like Fela Yeah, part Melle-Mel, part Van Halen and we represent Illadel, where they still rebellin' Hey yo, Sicko show like Mike Moore My city ain't nothin' like yours Slippin' into darkness like war Nightcrawl with the lights off You see a lot of life lost for the white horse Regardless, the charges makin' us all targets All on the red carpet, guns from the black market Eh, who got the politicians in they back pocket? Pimp slap, pump that, give me that profit When you make contact, give me that gossip If you break contract, you'll be that hostage They gettin' busy and the city is raw Better dead bolt the door, it ain't safe no more

[Verse 2-Dice Raw] Approach with caution, be cautious, when talkin' to bosses I feel I've been through a metamorphis I'm mutated by unknown forces, the feeling of course is Something that's hard to describe I'm half-dead, never felt more alive Reborn, remove the gold coins from my eyes I've been down, but now I'm back up I'm 'bout to act up, boy, you better back up When you see me, set up shop, know to pack up 'Cause I crack up, when a rapper get slapped up Number one reason y'all should give rap up Dice, it's mines, I got it all wrapped up I'm kinda like W.E.B. Du Bois Meets Heavy D and the Boyz, smooth as a Rolls Royce Built like a tank, smokin' on dank Walkin' through the Guggenheim, Raw Life, Black Ink

[Verse 3-Peedi Peedi] Now on your mark, uh-huh, get set Go cop everything you ever heard by Peed Crakk Dice Raw and Black, fuck the internet Buy a baseball bat, break a bootlegger leg All I listen to is vets, you're fresh off the step I'll come directly at your OG neck I'm used to the 1,2 check, not the 1,2 step I'm strapped, I'll leave every cat among you wet Now let's go, you know I'm politically incorrect At the show, I start it with a "Can I get a 'ho'?" And the ho's go retarded The po-po tape off the stage for caution It's bad lands, North Philly get it in It's Crakk man, used to back spin Now I spend stacks and stacks and Uncle Sam tryin' to tax all my hard earned raps Damn, we makin' Yens, Pesos, Euros, we representin'
