[Dolemite]
Well Busta Rhymes
It's been a long time since you've had a good talking to
And the last time I gave you my blessing
I told ya, you was gonna encounter a lot of niggas and bitches
Tryin' to get into your shit
Well, you've come a long ways
Since me, the bad ass Dolemite paid you a visit
And even up to this point
You ain't seen shit yet
From what I understand
You done built you a brand new home
So this time around
Before you welcome these motherfuckers in yo shit
Make sure they know the rules
Rule Number 1:
Busta Rhymes is your name
And breaking motherfuckers down
Is your game
Rule Number 2:
As you continue to give it to 'em raw
Before they come into your house
Make sure they wipe they feet
At the motherfuckin' door
Rule Number 3:
Before these niggas misconceive you as a pranksta
Make sure these motherfuckers respect your gangsta
Now moving right along
As you enter this new place in your growth
Like I told you before:
Keep slappin' dick in the mouth of these bitches
That don't wanna act right
And put a hot one in any motherfucker
That tries to get in the way of this power move shit right here
Alright Busta, enough with this shit talkin
Let's welcome these motherfuckers into THE Genesis
Alright baby
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go

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.
