Busta Rhymes - If You Don't Know Now You Know lyrics

rate me

We're live in five, four, three, two, ONE!

Welcome everybody, you are "Live in the Den"

With Big Tigger hangin out today with one of my friends

Whattup, okay if you ain't know it be one of the best of all time

Busta Bust for short, for some better know me Bust' Rhymes

(What's good?) Maintainin (same here, just smashin)

(How the fam?) They all good my nigga, thanks for askin

You and yours?

We all blessed, things ain't too bad

Still dealin with last year's sudden loss of my dad

(Man, my condolences) Thanks dawg, let's begin

Ain't seen you in a sec, Busta what you been up to since then?

Stayin healthy and keepin it movin while I just be showin

These other niggaz how to do it while I'm constantly growin

I've been learnin a lot, and still earnin a lot of money crazy

Doin my thing and securin a win for all my babies

Aight, well it's clear in this new year you've been busy

But how you been dealin with the drama of the loss of your man Izzy?

It's been one of the most traumatic times and I'll never forget it

I'm survivin, thus bein a punchin bag for those affected

It's somethin that I accepted, it was hard to understand

The way things happen, but in the end I guess it's God's plan

Word, heard you beefin with five-oh, couple cases on rotation

And on top of that, Bust' Rhymes is now on probation?

Yeah, and I thank Judge Stevens and we was happy to see

That he ain't send me up north cause I got a family to FEED

Changed your image up last year, cut the dreads down low

And also, gave the appearance of some major muscles

Now on the low streets been talkin like it usually do

Busta Bust, help us out, the public needs to know

Just for the record the reason a nigga cut off the dread

I had to shed, tired of carryin weight on my head

Secondly, it's all good when niggaz talk, well they need to back it up

Only needles I use is when I tat-tat-tat it up

Uhh, some people sayin you changed, even your Flipmode fam (uh-huh)

I heard the word's came safe from Rah Digga and Baby Sham (right)

Said you (Passed the Courvoisier) to pick up a gun

Said you more concerned about bein hard than havin fun

Yo, wow Tig', I see you takin it there; you got your arsenal, huh?

I think I know where you got that from, that Vibe article bruh

The press'll turn your family against each other for 'fetti, to sell a book

Besides we all talked already and we good

Wowwww, that's what's up, be clear it's goin down

And if you wanna holla at Bust call us up right now

Phone lines is open, what y'all, wanna discuss?

What's good caller, you "Live in the Den" with Big Tig' and Bust

(Hey Tig'!) What's good ma? (Enjoyin the show)

(But there's somethin about Busta I've been dyin to know)

Well holla at him

Hey Busta (what's good ma?)

I've been a fan since way back when you dropped "Woo-Hah"

(Woo-hah!) Yeahhhh, that was my joint

Every album since then always been on point

(Thank you) Videos and big shows is hardcore

So why you think your albums haven't sold more?

Well baby, the nature of the business is unstable

Especially when your project ain't properly promoted by your label

E'ry album I put out gold or platinum, just a second

Check the hardware on my walls is major, just for the record

Read about you in a book or two

Now tell me Bust, please discuss, were they all lies or some of it true?

Well I read about you in a couple of books too son

But I don't even know, tell me which book you readin from

Hey Busta, heard about you on Miss Jones

(Why you bringin up old shit? You need to leave that alone)

So I'm sayin, is it true what she said?

Did you jump right out from between her legs and start fryin eggs?

I can't remember exactly but I used to ride to her hood

And pick her up all hours a night, thought the pussy was good

'Bout 15 years ago, shit

I can't imagine she'd remember that a nigga made a mean egg sandwich

I seen a couple websites try to put you on blast (uh-huh)

With your relationship with homegirl with the real fat ass

Who? You talkin 'bout Deelishis? Yeah her body is vicious

She like trouble; thus we only friends, y'all made us a couple

How do you deal with the gossip, rumors and lies

And feelin like each and every move you make is analyzed?

Yo, it's all good, you see the blessing is a gift and a curse

To be in a position I am, shit could be worse

I know my time's runnin short so let me get to this thought

I'm sure you wanna thank your fans for all of their support

Absolutely, see y'all are why I shine like the sun

Big up to all my peeps who been ridin with me since day one

It's why I walk the streets with pride, you niggaz know how I shit it

It's why I rep it thorough for all the fans who stay committed

Busta, now you've been gettin it in since way back when

So what you say to critics sayin you can't do it again?

See I ain't gotta say shit to 'em, I'm off to somethin else

Nigga check my résumé, bitch it speak for itself

It's why I always do what I do, and I big up my chest

God put his hands on me, you could see that I'm blessed

And I'm grateful

AIGHT! It's time to go

But I thank y'all for tunin on in to the "Live in the Den" show

And if you don't knowww, now you know

And if you don't knowww, now you know, nigga

Holla Busta

(Yes, yes, yes)

(Yes, yes, yes)

That's what's up man, holla (ha ha ha, you crazy nigga)
