<i>[Intro]</i><br>
We're live in five, four, three, two, ONE!<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger]</i><br>
Welcome everybody, you are "Live in the Den"<br>
With Big Tigger hangin out today with one of my friends<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes (Tigger)]</i><br>
Whattup, okay if you ain't know it be one of the best of all time<br>
Busta Bust for short, for some better know me Bust' Rhymes<br>
(What's good?) Maintainin (same here, just smashin)<br>
(How the fam?) They all good my nigga, thanks for askin<br>
You and yours?<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger (Busta)]</i><br>
We all blessed, things ain't too bad<br>
Still dealin with last year's sudden loss of my dad<br>
(Man, my condolences) Thanks dawg, let's begin<br>
Ain't seen you in a sec, Busta what you been up to since then?<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
Stayin healthy and keepin it movin while I just be showin<br>
these other niggaz how to do it while I'm constantly growin<br>
I've been learnin a lot, and still earnin a lot of money crazy<br>
Doin my thing and securin a win for all my babies<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger]</i><br>
Aight, well it's clear in this new year you've been busy<br>
But how you been dealin with the drama of the loss of your man Izzy?<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
It's been one of the most traumatic times and I'll never forget it<br>
I'm survivin, thus bein a punchin bag for those affected<br>
It's somethin that I accepted, it was hard to understand<br>
the way things happen, but in the end I guess it's God's plan<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger]</i><br>
Word, heard you beefin with five-oh, couple cases on rotation<br>
And on top of that, Bust' Rhymes is now on probation?<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
Yeah, and I thank Judge Stevens and we was happy to see<br>
that he ain't send me up north cause I got a family to FEED<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger]</i><br>
Changed your image up last year, cut the dreads down low<br>
And also, gave the appearance of some major muscles<br>
Now on the low streets been talkin like it usually do<br>
Busta Bust, help us out, the public needs to know<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
Just for the record the reason a nigga cut off the dread<br>
I had to shed, tired of carryin weight on my head<br>
Secondly, it's all good when niggaz talk, well they need to back it up<br>
Only needles I use is when I tat-tat-tat it up<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger (Busta)]</i><br>
Uhh, some people sayin you changed, even your Flipmode fam (uh-huh)<br>
I heard the word's came safe from Rah Digga and Baby Sham (right)<br>
Said you (Passed the Courvoisier) to pick up a gun<br>
Said you more concerned about bein hard than havin fun<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
Yo, wow Tig', I see you takin it there; you got your arsenal, huh?<br>
I think I know where you got that from, that Vibe article bruh<br>
The press'll turn your family against each other for 'fetti, to sell a book<br>
Besides we all talked already and we good<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger (female)]</i><br>
Wowwww, that's what's up, be clear it's goin down<br>
And if you wanna holla at Bust call us up right now<br>
Phone lines is open, what y'all, wanna discuss?<br>
What's good caller, you "Live in the Den" with Big Tig' and Bust<br>
(Hey Tig'!) What's good ma? (Enjoyin the show)<br>
(But there's somethin about Busta I've been dyin to know)<br>
Well holla at him<br>
<br>
<i>[unknown female (Busta)]</i><br>
Hey Busta (what's good ma?)<br>
I've been a fan since way back when you dropped "Woo-Hah"<br>
(Woo-hah!!) Yeahhhh, that was my joint<br>
Every album since then always been on point<br>
(Thank you) Videos and big shows is hardcore<br>
So why you think your albums haven't sold more?<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
Well baby, the nature of the business is unstable<br>
Especially when your project ain't properly promoted by your label<br>
E'ry album I put out gold or platinum, just a second<br>
Check the hardware on my walls is major, just for the record<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger]</i><br>
Read about you in a book or two<br>
Now tell me Bust, please discuss, were they all lies or some of it true?<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
Well I read about you in a couple of books too son<br>
But I don't even know, tell me which book you readin from<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger]</i> Aight, next caller<br>
<br>
<i>[unknown female (Busta)]</i><br>
Hey Busta, heard about you on Miss Jones<br>
(Why you bringin up old shit? You need to leave that alone)<br>
So I'm sayin, is it true what she said?<br>
Did you jump right out from between her legs and start fryin eggs?<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
I can't remember exactly but I used to ride to her hood<br>
and pick her up all hours a night, thought the pussy was good<br>
'Bout 15 years ago, shit<br>
I can't imagine she'd remember that a nigga made a mean egg sandwich<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger]</i><br>
I seen a couple websites try to put you on blast (uh-huh)<br>
with your relationship with homegirl with the real fat ass<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
Who? You talkin 'bout Deelishis? Yeah her body is vicious<br>
She like trouble; thus we only friends, y'all made us a couple<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger]</i><br>
How do you deal with the gossip, rumors and lies<br>
and feelin like each and every move you make is analyzed?<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
Yo, it's all good, you see the blessing is a gift and a curse<br>
To be in a position I am, shit could be worse<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger]</i><br>
I know my time's runnin short so let me get to this thought<br>
I'm sure you wanna thank your fans for all of their support<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
Absolutely, see y'all are why I shine like the sun<br>
Big up to all my peeps who been ridin with me since day one<br>
It's why I walk the streets with pride, you niggaz know how I shit it<br>
It's why I rep it thorough for all the fans who stay committed<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger]</i><br>
Busta, now you've been gettin it in since way back when<br>
So what you say to critics sayin you can't do it again?<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
See I ain't gotta say shit to 'em, I'm off to somethin else<br>
Nigga check my résumé, bitch it speak for itself<br>
It's why I always do what I do, and I big up my chest<br>
God put his hands on me, you could see that I'm blessed<br>
And I'm grateful<br>
<br>
<i>[Big Tigger]</i><br>
AIGHT! It's time to go<br>
But I thank y'all for tunin on in to the "Live in the Den" show<br>
<br>
<i>[Busta Rhymes]</i><br>
And if you don't knowww, now you know<br>
And if you don't knowww, now you know, nigga<br>
<br>
<i>[Outro: Tigger (Busta)]</i><br>
Holla Busta <i>[both men ad libbing]</i><br>
(Yes, yes, yes) <i>[ad libbing]</i><br>
(Yes, yes, yes) <i>[laughing]</i><br>
That's what's up man, holla (ha ha ha, you crazy nigga)<br>
<BR><BR>
<BR>
