Settin’ it Off Lyrics

[Intro: Busta Rhymes]
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Yo, yo, yo, yo-yo, yo, yo, yo-yo, yo
Yo, yo-yo, yo, yo, yo-yo, yo
Yo, yo-yo, yo, yo

[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes & Spliff Star]
I think I'm 'bout to black out, I blow your fuckin' wig out
Niggas who thought they catchin' me, fuck that, I'm 'bout to rip out
Rip out and then I flip out, make a whack nigga ship out
Harbor the jet, go on vacation and take a trip out
I make y'all niggas jump up, bitches, they wanna love up
Open over my clique, straight watchin' them niggas come up
Other bitches'll rub up
Younger bitches go scrub up, smellin' like you got dug up
Obey to shut the fuck up
I fertilize the world with my sperm
Speakin' biblical term
While we gettin' at y'all niggas, still remainin' in turn
My magnificence, ill-y flow'll kill an innocent
Straight from up the yonder spots
Smellin' like inscense, ahh!
Mutilate niggas, humiliate niggas
Beat you in yo' fuckin' head just to communicate, niggas
As my squad get bigger you know we gon' multiply figures
Blend up the mixtures, it's fly niggas you wanna take pictures (Yo)
Kick another
Then I rip another lyric fo' rilla
Gorilla power, persona rhyme, get money quicker
[Verse 2: Spliff Star]
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Who drops the rugged on the tape-ah
Shinin' like the sun on a hot day in Jamaica, makin' movements
On the militant, killin' shit with my crew
Sendin' MC's to Beirut
Nigga, fuck you
You can't stop what I started
Multi-check me when one of the seas parted
Its on again, Spliff-a-Spliff from the bull pen
Bare ruckus
That's how we gets down and does this, real niggas love this
Fake niggas rush us
Pop shit on wackstas, I ain't scared of motherfuckers
I smash you, bash you, smoke you like a blunt and then I pass you
Have you standin' still like a statue
One motherfucker before my squad catch you

[Hook: Busta Rhymes & Rampage]
(Uh!)
Flipmode squad always settin' it off, ayo (Uh!)
(Settin' it off, settin' it off)
Real street niggas always settin' it off, ayo (Uh!)
(Settin' it off, settin' it off)
Big money niggas always settin' it off, ayo (Uh!)
(Settin' it off, settin' it off)
Bull pen niggas always settin' it off, yo, yo
(Settin' it off, settin' it off)
[Verse 3: Rampage]
I'm the Brooklyn bomber that's gon' self-destruct
Ramp', I'm comin' through, I'm gonna tear shit up
Y'all better duck, this is Kuwait, the all out war
Y'all really want more from the real hardcore
Yo, I'ma show you difference from mines and yours
I'm goin' for broke, make the whole underground choke
I'm in the East with my nigga Smoke, used to hustle bricks
In Robernoke, now I'm on some musical shit
Plus I got the quarter note
Niggas wanna vote for my squad
I truly believe that the black man is God
My family is mixed when American in yard
Oh, Lord, yo, yo, this my 10 40
This is to yo' moms and yo' pops and yo' shorty
On some ghetto shit, nigga pass the 40

[Verse 4: Baby Sham]
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Peep the six stars a point, pushin' luxury cars
He be the open wound cat, still spittin' my balls
I mean you all lyrically wild to take it personal
Flipmode on your crew, I'm bound to take your flesh from you
Hold twin gas so dumb, dumb, splits in tunes
Layin' in the hospital because my eyes seen the size of you
Thought it wasn't possible for me to pull first
So short with big shit, so when it blasts it hurts
Evil lurks, gimme a minute to lay you down with a curse
Feel moist up, 'cause foul thugs sliced you up
[Verse 5: Rah Digga]
Digga rippin', first it's somethin' wicked
I kill your double CD with just the fuckin' snippet
Y'all niggas think y'all know me
My style be off the hook like jody
Who battle rack-stacks to whatever niggas throw me
You lost it, I be on the money like that sauce kid
All on, why yo' face, talkin' how much my shit costin'
Killer rhymin', frontin' on me like benchin' Kobe Bryant
Bitch 'em, all time hit 'em with a punch line, make sure to hook tight
All across the Globe askin' what that bitch look like
Tell 'em shorty always ready to blink for the fame and got game
Like that Spike Lee flick, now, check it
That's what it go like and we ain't gettin' no less than 4 mic
Watch my nigga stick a move on the whole type
It ain't doin' no shows like the dough right, you know we

[Hook: Busta Rhymes & Rampage]
