[Intro: Busta Rhymes] Just make sure them, them drums is smackin' [*Heavy breathing*] This, means, war!!
[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes] I work hard to take care of every one of my niggas Feel the love and appreciation from all of my niggas When I think, meditate and contemplate for my soul Watch the truth manifest once the story unfold Disloyal motherfuckers, I'ma banish you all And celebrate all in your absence once I get rid of y'all Sometimes I can't describe the wicked shit I feel in my heart Break my silence and sporadically tear you apart Strike with a serious vengeance and before you die Put you through the worst and make you take a look in my eye! So you could witness the extreme damage caused by betrayal Make you sorry for the fact that you attempted and failed! Make you eternally suffer, you was one of my mens Turn your back on me, I'mma make sure you get it back times ten (Stay true!) Now that's the one thing I religiously pledge If you ain't wit' me I'ma throw you way over the edge! (This means war!!)
[Chorus: Ozzy Osbourne] Take a look inside You can run and you can hide If you cross my path I'll make sure you feel my wrath Give and you receive Cherish every breath you breathe Scriptures on the wall Those who betray all must fall
[Verse 2: Busta Rhymes] As I cherish every blessin' and I greet you with hugs You my peoples when I see you, I embrace you with love Yeah, I be the one to come and get you out of the hole Yeah, you be the one to run and leave me out in the cold So amazing how many times you plot and you scheme But what you don't realize, you'll never conquer my dream Though devilish karma can't penetrate the steel in my armor Time passed, mind oppression got you livin' with drama! Paranoid of my retaliation, livin' in fear Disloyalty will have me kill my brother, sheddin' a tear Such a shame how you could easily get trapped in a zone And have to go to war with fake niggas standin' alone Until I get with all my loyal niggas goin' the length Don't matter how hard you try you never weaken my strength! Now I'm with all of my loyal niggas, breakin' the bread And if you diss the code of honour we takin' yo' head! (This means war!!)
[Chorus: Ozzy Osbourne] Take a look inside You can run and you can hide If you cross my path I'll make sure you feel my wrath Give and you receive Cherish every breath you breathe Scriptures on the wall Those who betray all must fall
[Bridge: Ozzy Osbourne & Busta Rhymes] Huuuuh! Nobody helps them (Hah, hah, haaaah!) Now he has his revenge (Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah) What you gon' do? (Do?) (Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah) What you gonna do? (Do?)
[Break: Busta Rhymes] Where you think you can run, or you can hide? Where you think you can run, or you can hide? Where you think you can run, or you can hide? Where you think you can run, or you can hide?!
[Verse 3: Busta Rhymes] I'ma be the best to show love, let's co-operate Disloyalty is somethin' that we won't tolerate Deal with these niggas, let's put 'em where they properly go On the Island far away in a place where nobody know So long fightin' the bullshit for so many years Watchin' the danger and niggas double crossin' they peers Yes, I always fight for what is right and put my foot down Disrespect my love, I'ma be layin' you down! (This means war!!)
[Chorus: Ozzy Osbourne] Take a look inside You can run and you can hide If you cross my path I'll make sure you feel my wrath Give and you receive Cherish every breath you breathe Scriptures on the wall Those who betray all must fall
