"Oh my God!" -> Busta Rhymes (16X)

[Phife Dawg]

There's a million MC's that claim they want some

But see, I create sounds that make your ears go numb

Peace to Sayers Ave., yeah you know how we go

My best friend Steven at the Home Depot

Lowerton is in the house, I can't forget Southside

Walk past MC's like that girl did the Pharcyde

I'm labeled as the cat's meow, the MC with the know-how

Act like you know, not now, but right now

Beast of the East, on MC's I have a feast

I'd eat that ass like quiche, crack a smile like Shanice

Straight out Jamaica scene, Jamaica, Queens

But you could find me out in Georgia, or anywhere in between

Now if my partners don't look good, Malik won't look good

If Malik don't look good, the Quest won't look good

If the Quest don't look good, then Queens won't look good

But since the sounds are universal, New York won't look good

Picture Phife losin a battle, come on, get off it

Put down the microphone son, surrender forfeit

Did I hear somethin bout a crew? What they wanna do?

You better call Mr. Babyface, so he can bring out _The Cool in You_

or it'll be a sad love song being sung by Toni Braxton

And I'll dissect you like a fraction

Oh, you wannabe top cat MC's, I'll pop you like a zit

You wanna be the champ, you more like Chief Some-shit

Big up myself everytime when it comes to this

MC's be runnin scared as if they're watchin the Exorcist

I kick more game than a crackhead from Hempstead

My styles are milk, man, you'd think that I was breast fed

You know the steelo when the diggy Dawg is on the scene

I dedicate this to all the MC's outta Queens

that goes for Onyx, LL, Run-D.M.C.

Akinyele, Nasty Nas and the Extra P

You need a chart, straight up and down man, there ain't no other

Nuff respect to all my peeps that made the album cover

Yo, Tip don't worry Dunn you know I get the party jumpin

Get on the mic and break em off a lil lil sumthin

Yo, Tip don't worry Dunn you know I get the party jumpin

Get on the mic and break em off a lil lil sumthin (Ooohh...)

"Oh my God!" -> Busta Rhymes (16X)

[Q-Tip] (over Busta Rhymes)

La, la, la, la..

Doop, doo, do, do..

La, la, la, la..

Shooby-doop, do, do..

La, la, la, la..

Shooby-doo, do, do..

You know I'm on the other, for the top 40

Haha, you gotta do it like this..

We got the funk doody don shit, clearly it's the bomb shit

So recognize me, kids memorize me

Everyday, I be scroungin, really, I be loungin

I play the down low, very very incognito

Aries is my sign, I know that I can rhyme

Sometimes I rhyme in riddles, plus I make the hunnies wiggle

Intellect is the major, some heads like to wager

The skills on the hill, overlookin dollar bills

Man, ya crazy, thinkin you can phase me

The Ab doesn't study near nonsense money

Life seems to meet me, MC's seem too cheesy

With they doody ass renditions of defeatin competition

I rock to the roll man, yes, I'm a soul man

Bet'cha bottom dolla, Vinia will make ya holla

As ya stand at attention, did I forget to mention

MC's will give me twenty, if I sense that they act funny

Lyrics are abundant, right there, I sound redundant

Just mentionin the fact, that the area is fat

I dwell in the unda, so hunny, it's no wonder

That I get plenty of tail, well I even get white

I'ma bet hittin head crack, there money, take that

Breakin niggaz off, cut their bank, then I'm off

While my Nik'es match my lil hat, beat joint is mad fat

Got the cutter of the box if a kid thinks he's ox

For tier means creator, the poetry relator

It's hemp, like Betsy Ross, let me tell you who's the boss

La, la, la.. ("Oh my God!" -> Busta Rhymes)

La, la, la.. ("Oh my God!" -> Busta Rhymes)

La, la, la.. ("Oh my God!" -> Busta Rhymes) smooth it y'all

La, la, la.. ("Oh my God!" -> Busta Rhymes)

La, la, la.. ("Oh my God!" -> Busta Rhymes)

La, la, la.. ("Oh my God!" -> Busta Rhymes)

La, la, la.. ("Oh my God!" -> Busta Rhymes)

La, la, la.. ("Oh my God!" -> Busta Rhymes)

Queens got a Zoo

Brooklyn got a Zoo

Bronx got a Zoo

Long Island got a Zoo

Long Island.. got the zone

Jersey got a Zoo

Philly got a Zoo

Milwaukee got a Zoo

L.A. got a Zoo

Oaktown got the zone

La, la, la.. (4X)

See, I like to get down Jack
