What the fuck, what the fuck is going on?

Let me set it straight on the topics that I'm flowing on

Like Chuck D, Public Enemy to the nation

Or, call me Busta Rhymes, 'cause that's my occupation

Hip-hip-hop, make your body rock

Slam raw raps and rhythms that make you pop lock

Hip-hip-hop on the non-stop

Take it up a notch and watch the beat drop

(Yeah)

(Hell, yeah)

(Yeah)

(Hell, yeah)

I am what I am

I'm only here 'cause I want to be

I am what I am

You don't give a damn 'cause you're a wannabe

I am (I am) what I am (I am)

I'm only here 'cause I want to be

I am (I am) what I am (I am)

You don't give a damn Cause' you're a wannabe

Now my rhymez are so phat they make Biggie look small

And if you ain't down with that, then we bound to brawl

'Cause I got heart like De La Hoya

And if you still don't know then I'll show ya

'Cause I'm a straight refugee like a L-Boogie

Never go limp but I do it for the nookie

Got rhymes like Jennifer Lopez gotz ass

Slap the backboard like Shaq, cuz I dunk off a pass

(Yeah)

(Hell, yeah)

(Yeah)

(Hell, yeah)

I am what I am

I'm only here 'cause I want to be

I am what I am

You don't give a damn 'cause you're a wannabe

I am (I am) what I am (I am)

I'm only here 'cause I want to be

I am (I am) what I am (I am)

You don't give a damn Cause' you're a wannabe

One, two, one, two, here we go

I'm a straight pimp like a Lewinsky is a ho

I can go psycho like Buscemi in Fargo

And, like Chris Tucker, hydroponics keep me high, yo
