[Intro: Busta Rhymes]
Just get off my block
Lord Have Mercy, Busta Rhymes, Flipmode Trilogy

[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes]
Ayo, we ain't familiar at all, nigga
Don't like it? Go grab your gat and lets brawl it et al., nigga
Straight foolin', when we use to chill up on park benches
My twenty block radius think we need some barb wire fences
Stop bitch niggas like you from easily trespassing
Nickel nine, shine on your eye, then you see fire blastin'
Get off my premises! Ayo, Lord, is you a friend of his?
'bout to pack the jawn and show this nigga just who the winner is
The presence of a small-time, I diminish and blemish his
I'ma play ya ass out like a game on my little Sega Genesis
This is inappropriate, fuck is we talkin' for and we ain't even associates?
Ass lyrical beatings, straight trick or treating
Ay, what ya eatin'? I ain't got no words for you
Fuck speakin'! Ain't part of my crew, face look too brand new Who?
Niggas ain't even allowed to send my patch through
Can't chill on my corner, can't go up in my bodega
Chill before I call Dinco to grab the quatro-cinco
We don't give a fuck right now
We be the high-caliber shit, y'all corny niggas must bow
We do unforgivable shit, we blow the spot anyhow
Move
Ready for battle, 'cause I'm refusin' to lose
I'ma beat ya ass in front of nobody with nothin' to prove
Live nigga shit right there
Beware, stand clear
None of y'all niggas is welcome here

[Chorus]
Fuck is these niggas, son?
Get off my block
Yo, I don't know none of these niggas, duke
Get off my block
Them niggas wanna sell they weed here
Get off my block
Yo, who these unfamiliar cornballs?
Get off my block
Let’s run these niggas off my street corner
Get off my block

[Verse 2: Lord Have Mercy]
Now who the fuck you be? Landlord
Cradle a stainless for strangers
Vigilante, trigger stampedes
On the bulletproof hooded crews
The latest nigga that can't breathe
Move you; off the block
The unorthodox general
Flash flood when a crowd
Patrol [?] for the intrepid style
And wreck more kids than pedophiles
Nigga, uh, forever trapped in danger
They Macarena when I jack my razor
Sharp words that scar herds
Nigga, I'm from the wicked city
Where chickens twist trees and dick-tease
Breastfeed, [?] with asthmatic chest wheeze
Lord Have, cardiac arrest freeze
Please, bastard handicap crews that stay soft
It's mayor Adolf
School your army, your squad weak
Remove four camps when I say
Up in arms like Norplants
I conquer and hold
Home sweet home down with monster control
Still they in the cut like Ron and Nicole
And still we must bring the ruckus to all you motherfuckers
Automatically, assault and battery
We battle thieves that get tragically slapped to sleep to relax the beef
Collapse like weak cancerous lungs
Scatter, we numb
Non-feeling, nap with the jarred villain that alarm buildings
Calm scrimmage, woke up Allah's children
Dirty-ass Vietnam village
I'm finishin' out sons
Then pose, like Minister Malcolm at the venetian blinds
By all means necessary, I reach for mine and lift
Golden showers from roof tops
And give orders, rugged pound acre
Drown violators in buckets of piss water

[Chorus]
Fuck is these niggas, son?
Get off my block
Yo I don't know none of these niggas, duke
Get off my block
Them niggas wanna sell they weed here
Get off my block
Yo, who these unfamiliar cornballs?
Get off my block
Let’s run these niggas off my street corner
Get off my block
Fuck is these niggas, son?
Get off my block
Yo, I don't know none of these niggas, duke
Get off my block
Them niggas wanna sell they weed here
Get off my block
Yo, who these unfamiliar cornballs?
Get off my block
Let’s run these niggas off my street corner
Get off my block
Fuck-fuck is these niggas, son?
Get off my block
Yo, I don't know none of these niggas, duke
Get off my block
Them niggas wanna sell they weed here
Get off my block
Yo, who these unfamiliar cornballs?
Get off my block
Fuck-fuck is these niggas, son?
Get off my block

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.
