Get Busy - The Roots, Dice Raw, Peedi Peedi

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

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

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'
