Do It Now Lyrics

Back up, back up, back up, back up
Back up, back up, back up, back up ease off
This goes out to all area crew (yes, yes, yes)
This to my BK crew, to my QB crew
My LI crew, my Shaolin crew
My Dirty South crew
(What y'all niggas about the Dirty South?)
Atlanta, North Cakalak'
For all my fam, all area crew
Yea, man

Yes, the first cut should be the deepest
To penetrate beyond the muscle wall's inner regions
First you was icing me, connect with the staring at the speakers
Heard the rhyme, head high with ya staring at ya sneakers
You shy now, got a lot of things on your mind now
You don't feel fly now, you hunting the exit sign down
Fuck what you heard 'cause I snatch the grapevine down (yeah, yeah)
Don't understand how I ran the line down, rewind now

Yo, we be the most magnetic, so athletic
Leave your peeps on the side so they can watch you and your mans get it
Take the arch rivalry stance up on the podium
And give the flavor to niggas but keep it low on sodium
Possess shit that got you wondering how we holding 'em
Things that'll lay you out like a piece of linoleum
Bring who-ever you want, we 'bout to bug son and bounce
Down to Henry Hudson, after I bust one

Yo, Mos Def
Alright, okay
How you feel?
Feeling great
What ya want?
I wan' do it to death, what's up wit' you?
You know my steez
True indeed
Say it loud
Black and proud
Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate
Do it now

Bust-a-bus
What a gwan?
How you feel?
Feeling great
What you want?
I want to do it to death, what up with you?
You know my steez
True indeed
Say it loud
Black and proud
Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate
Do it now

Hay dios mio, me and Bustarimo muy peligro
The hottest Negroes en Los Estados Unidos
Hotter than Reno when discovered by Bugsy Siegal
I'm black like Don Cheadle shouting, "Power to the people"
My rhymes dipping like the lifeline on the e-boat
The raw sugar cane, NutraSweet, never Equal
If you in a Benzito or your mother's Buick Regal
I get up like Chino shouting, "Power to the people"

Yo, me and the Mighty Mos shine like a light post
Live nigga shit be straight fucking up the white folks
That's why they with it now because niggas like me and you
We did it now, brought it to that level so they get it now
We graduated, saturated the game now
Infatuated with the fame now, let me explain how
We doing this at any time or any place ready willing and able
Let's get the dough, secure the food on the table

Ayy, Mos Def
Oh my God
How you feel?
Feeling great
What ya want?
Wanna do it to death, what's up wit' you?
You know my steez
True indeed
Say it loud
Black and proud
Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate
Do it now

Bust-a-bus
Rhymes galore
What's the deal?
Feeling great
What you want?
I want to do it to death, what up with you?
You know my steez
True indeed
Say it loud
Black and proud
Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate
Do it now

From east, west, north and south, I got joints for all of those
Heavy aquatic water flows, keepin' them on they toes
Tell them thugs that wanna be CEO's to be derobed
'Fore I wear your little dumb ass out like Easter clothes

Yo, yo-yo (yo-yo)
It's like a freak show, soon as my heat blow
Sometime I speak slow so people understand my street flow
And while we keep it hot
We got the most shine up in this whole shit
Me and Mos spit and blow the show quick

Watch out, yuh pussy sound get box out
Mos and Busta Rhymes, two bad man ah shuck out
Watch out, give a damn what fancy car ya hop out
Shut down your game like the NBA lockout

You betta watch out, I'm 'bout to black on niggas
Like I'm blowing a sax, blowing my gats on niggas
Blowing my raps on niggas, now let me mash out
We fatter than the biggest ass chicks poking they ass out

Hey, Mos Def
Magnetism
How you feel?
Feeling great
What ya want?
Me wan' do it to death, what's up wit' you?
Yo, you know my steez
True indeed
Say it loud
Black and proud
Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate
Do it now

Bust-a-bus
Woo-hah
How you feel?
Feeling great
What you want?
I want to do it to death, what up wit' you?
You know my steez
True indeed
Say it loud
Black and proud
Ain't no time to hesitate at the gate
Do it now

What? What?
We got to do it, do it
We got to do it, do it
Make me do it, do it, what?
Wha-wha-what? We got to do it, do it
Make me do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it now
What? What? We got to do it, do it
Said we do it, do it, do it, a-do it now
What? We got to do it, do it
Got to do it, do it (ahh)
Do it now
