now get busy

beastie boys

whether in a penthouse or a cave dweller

i can tell you 'bout now i'm not a fortune teller

grab a treat from yosi

my muffin seller

got mad technique like rudy van gelder

and yes i got a plan i'm a carry out it

yes

i'm pro-choice

i'm a-scream and shout it

yes i love life and i try not to doubt it

yes i'm gonna party cause i'm 'bout it 'bout it

when it rains i don't use an umbrella

when i write rhymes

i use indeli-ble ink

that will make you think

flowing like water that you love to drink

now get busy

sweet like a nut filled with nutella

creamy like buffalo mozzarella

sneaking around you know i smell ya

well i play ya like a peanut and throw the shell ya

well i could give a fuzz if ya think you're a baller

i get so many huni 'round you fall smaller

middle school rapper and a proud yes y'aller

if ya think about your grandma go ahead call her

from the east coast so i don't say hella

at the mic stand my performance is stellar

pop the tape in and i listen to fella

i give a little shout to nelson mandela

now get busy

known for the words that make you scream and holler

i'm count dooku to your queen amidala

give a shout to spiro or john waller

i'm a student of the game and a bona fide scholar

so ease up on the bong to ease that coughin'

butter's on the table now watch it soften

bring in those beats and i'm a bring them often

i'm a keep rappin' when i'm in my coffin

like a mind gone mad that is unwinding

in a padded room the walls you're climbing

don't sign on the line if it looks binding

ya have to get loose and find the lining

now get busy
