[Intro: Busta Rhymes]
Yeah!
We gon' straight into something real, real, real dynamic for hip-hop
Two thousand and eight shit
In the name of the late, great James Yancey AKA J Dilla
Dillagence! (Commissioner)

[Chorus: Phonte & Busta Rhymes]
One won’t do, two is not enough for me, no (Dillagence)
One won’t do, two is not enough for me, no (Dillagence)
One won’t do, two is not enough for me, no (Dillagence)
One won’t do, two is not enough for me, no

[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes]
Ayo, ayo, ayo, trust
You see, the love is so genuine
Mr. James Yancey was such a good friend of mine
J Dilla—he's still a good friend of mine
His beats'll send you to chiropractics, put a curve in your spine
Make you need a realignment, cause you to spaz out
Producers tryna compete, you niggas is ass-out
I usually dare niggas to go against me
He defied the laws of physics when it came to the MP
See, I don't care how you other producers use it
He ain't never speak a lot, but he spoke volumes through the music
Jay D-I-double-L-A, remember the name
With them killer beats, and so venomous with the pen game
Like the thrill of me getting pussy, or bought my first gun
He'd been blessing every one of my albums since the first one
On this mixtape right here, there is no interceptions
Every track is produced by Dilla, nigga—no exceptions
Rap is out of control, let me show you the deal
We put it together for those who appreciate the real
Now, if you don't know what to do, you need to follow instructions
You copping a beat, then cutting a check to "Pay Jay Productions"
Beat'll bang in your head 'til you fall in a concussion
Most producers be quietly biting Dilla, fronting
You need to cut it out 'fore I gut it out
Watch me shit on your little recipe while the Dilla legacy live on!

Busta Rhymes is a Grammy-nominated rapper, producer, and actor. Born Trevor George Smith, Jr. on May 20, 1972 in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York City, he would later move to Uniondale, Long Island but attended high school in Brooklyn with the likes of JAY-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., and Special Ed. Prior to his graduation from Uniondale High School in 1990, Busta joined Dinco D, Charlie Brown, and Cut Monitor Milo to from Leaders of the New School. The group opened for Public Enemy and their frontman Chuck D gave Chill-O-Ski the name Busta Rhymes after NFL wide receiver George “Buster” Rhymes.

Leaders of the New School released two albums, A Future Without a Past… (1991) and T.I.M.E. (The Inner Mind’s Eye) (1993), before splitting after an intense interview with Yo! MTV Raps. Busta’s popularity began to rise with his appearances on A Tribe Called Quest’s “Scenario” in 1991 and its remix in 1992, as well as the remix to Craig Mack’s “Flava in Ya Ear” in 1994.

This led to Busta releasing his platinum debut album The Coming in 1996, featuring the platinum single “Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check.” Busta’s subsequent four albums all went platinum, while It Ain’t Safe No More… and The Big Bang achieved gold status. He also released several international hits, including “Dangerous,” “What’s It Gonna Be?” with Janet Jackson, and “I Know What You Want” with Mariah Carey, as well as being featured on the #1 hits “Don’t Cha” with the Pussycat Dolls and “Look At Me Now” with Chris Brown and Lil Wayne.
