Do It to Death Lyrics

[Intro]
Huh, huh-huh, huh-huh, huh, huh-huh, huh, huh, huh-huh
Huh, huh, huh-huh-huh-huh, huh, huh, huh-huh
Huh, huh, woooh!
Woo-woo-wooooh
Woo, woo, wooooh
Yeah, everybody, c'mon
Here we go party people (Wooooh)

[Verse 1]
Pull up in the whip, pop the trunk, feel it?
Barefoot gorilla baboon funk, ya hear it?
Me and my nigga Richie was itchy to meet some women
Met some chickens, they was actin' so snobby and bitchy, fuck it
Pass me the sticky
The chicky wanted to leave me with a kiss and a hickie
I ain't wit' it but give me a quicky, I ain't in to doin' the licky-licky
Even though you be lookin' so pretty, I own all of my shit, never 50-50
Oodle noodles all those fo-ools never refuse, accuse me for the bruise
Chick got a rattlin' sound, better tighten the screws
Runnin' and gunnin', kinda stunnin'
The way we be comin' around, slummin', wylin' and dumbin'
My nigga Horace kick up a nigga like Chuck Norris
Got some other niggas lost way up in the forest
Hang you up in a harness, label me and all of my niggas the hardest
Fuck around, be the next "Formerly Known As" artist
Layed out with a goddess, pretty lilly Adonis
Besides all of that, niggas is novice, I make you all a promise
The promise is that I'm so dominant and that I am so prominent
Captured the whole of Asia as a continent
Oh shit, I be comin' and tumblin' down, rumblin', stumblin' down
Freaky prophet with unusual musical sound
Bringin' the ruckus, you motherfuckers be givin' me pounds
'Semite Sam, give me the camcorder and a city with plans
Me and my fam, hustle and tussle in makin' this groove, me and my mans
[Chorus]
How we gon' do this? (Make the moves)
Keepin' it live (Where my niggas is at?)
Stackin' my paper (Put it away safe)
Straight buckwild, let me see your hands
What we gon' do? (Do it to death)
What we gon' do? (We gon' do it to death)
What we gon' do? (Do it to death)
What we gon' do? (Do it to death)

[Verse 2]
Yo
Pin or a needle, make you wobble or weeble
Niggas is feeble, back in the day I used to get money illegal
Get some ass, cop a room down at the Regal
Hit you wit' so much drama make niggas always wait for the sequel
Yo, there ain't no equal on how we be reppin' for the people
Yo, there really ain't no equal (Equal)
Ask Hillary, met her down on Flatbush and Tillory
She killin' me, got me crazy, wylin', actin' straight grizzly
We never made it too far together
I left her standin' on Franklin and Willoughby
Another mystery to me
While she still on the corner kissin' at me (Psst), hissin' at me
Ignorin' these bitches, they're angry, now they're riffin' at me
Vital and critical, literal lyrical, make niggas pitiful
Go to the clinical, examine your physical
Frightening and enlightening at the same time
Get the goods and price them, and doin' the heist again
You thinkin' we would be nice again
We on a mission, we don't need none of your advice again
Hold me down, baby!
Pitter patter, you chitter chatter too much
I'mma splitter splatter your blidder bladder
Make you spill out your guts
[Chorus]
Yo, how we gon' do this? (Make the moves)
Keepin' it live (Where my niggas is at?)
Stackin' my paper (Put it away safe)
Straight buckwild, let me see your hands
What we gon' do? (Do it to death)
What we gon' do? (We gon' do it to death)
What we gon' do? (Do it to death)
What we gon' do? (Do it to death)
Flipmode Squad (Hell, yeah!)
How we gon' do? (We gon' do it to death)
Flipmode Squad (Hell, yeah!)
How we gon' do? (We gon' do it to death)
How we gon' do? (We gon' do it to death)
Ayo, how we gon' do? (We gon' do it to death)
How we gon' do? (We gon' do it to death)
(I said) How we gon' do? (We gon' do it to death)
Ayo, Flipmode Squad (Hell, yeah!)
How we gon' do? (We gon' do it to death)
How we gon' do? (We gon' do it to death)

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

“Do It To Death” is track 8 on Busta Rhymes' 3rd studio album, “Extinction Level Event: The Final World Front”. It places in the middle section of the album, where most of the songs are just party tracks, and contain little lyrics actually to do with the titular topic

The track still bumps though, with (at the time) up-and-coming producer Rockwilder handing in his first and only production on this album, which, with it’s eerie, siren-based beat, provides what would seem to be, perhaps ironically, the perfect track for Busta to do a one-verse wonder about his chosen topic for this album.
