[Intro: Rampage | Busta Rhymes ]

It's I, sire, Richard of Flatbush, speak up

The word on the street is the Rampage return

Uh (Yeah)

Hah, one time, two time

Three time (No doubt), four time (Yeah, what up?)

All my real live niggas, throw your hands up! (No doubt)

All my real live bitches (Yeah), throw your hands up!

All my hustler motherfuckers, throw your hands up! (Check it out, it's like this, y'all)

All my bigger ass niggas, throw your hands up! (Ha)


[Verse 1: Rampage | Busta Rhymes ]

The heavyweight Brooklyn bomber that can't rest (Rest), love success

Travellin' for free (Ugh) from state to state (State)

That's how I get my idea to create, I live motivate (-vate)

I keep on movin', it's been proven (Proven)

I stay on my tippy toes wreckin' shows (Ugh), you too slow (Slow)

You can't peep my ill flow, hit this Burning Zone, keep low like an Eskimo (-mo)

F the people (People), still carry my .44

Open the do', it's the real outlaw (-law)

From Flatbush to South Shore givin' you more and more

I just came home from tour (Tour)

It's my time to burn to explore

I'm comin' (Ugh) through the floor with the X, I'm fully gassed to the max

Movin' stacks (Ugh), no fakin' jacks , I'm the baddest man on the wax (Wax)

Messin' around with my Squad, you get taxed

Shittin' Ex-Lax, on hot tracks (Tracks)

I can't relax, breakin' backs (Ugh)

With my NFL Quarterbacks, Flipmode deep (Uh)

We bring hood things to life (Life), put down your gun and light (Light)

I'm in it to win it (Uh), plus I'm wildin' for the night (Night, ha! )

You sippin' wine (Wine), your vision is blind

No, you can't see the victory (Ugh), you in the street (Uh), it's gettin' deep (Deep)

You rolled up with the wrong peeps, you're the black sheep (Ugh)

You won't protest, got 'til your little brother got shot (Bang!)

It's gettin' hot (Uh), now you back around the way (Way)

With the same clothes (Way, ugh), plus your bum hoes that you chose (Way, chose)

They gave up your whereabouts, where you hang out (Hang out)

Who you hang wit' (Who you hang wit'), now you gotta get your dome split (Uh)

[Busta Rhymes]

Oh, yeah, that's right, motherfuckers

Wherein my nigga Rampage the Last Boy Scout

Hits y'all motherfuckers on the head

With this shit right here

All y'all competitive motherfuckers, so-called 'competitive' motherfuckers

Who think they in the competitive position to talk some more competitive shit

Like they really competitive or somethin'

Y'all motherfuckers is gonna realize, how soon y'all gonna be

[Rampage]

Yes, yes, yes, yes

You've just heard a word from our sponsor, Bus-a-Bus

I'd just like all of you to just strap yourselves inside your seats

And just take a little trip

As we go towards down the yellow brick road, inside

'Cause it's definitely be goin' down! Ha
