Lyrics

[Skit: Dinco D, Charlie Brown & Gambino] Yo, Brown, what's up? I heard Busta had beef Word? With who, G? With who? I don't know, G, this kid named Busta Bully Word? Where you was at when you heard this? From the bus earlier, G (Word?) You know Pam was talkin' 'bout he gon' (You know what I'm sayin'?) (Word?) Yo, Gambino, you heard somethin' about that, G? Yo, I heard all that, man Yo, that new kid, he new, right? He gotta be a new jack He look cock, G Cock deez? Swollen muffin' Ohhh! Yo... (Uh, word) Wonder what he gon' do, man... I know he gon' put that head out He better put that head out, word to the biz! (Word!) Hold 'em up! [Intro: Busta Rhymes, Dinco D & Charlie Brown] Oh man Why can't civilized people that are tryin' to be civilized, stay civilized? Why do they have to stay away from civilization and get ignorant? Why, why, why? I just cannot understand, why brothers gotta be so ignorant? (Word up) We should all be on love, peace and happiness (They need to chill), make things be fine, you know (Foolish [?]) I'm gonna let all of you that wanna be bad boys and [?], all you listeners Y'all gon' learn (Let 'em learn) [Bridge] You got to know when to hold up (Hold up!) Know when to slow up (Slow up!) Know where to walk away (Walk away) Know where to hide You got to count your blessings, when you're sittin' at the table You'll be tryin' to act like a roughneck, now the deal is done Show me a hero, named... [Verse 1: Busta Rhymes] Busta! (Height?) 6'9"! (Weight?) Two-hundred and forty pounds The local town bully, he thought he was (Gangster boogie) I'll get back to him in a minute, one day In the hallway, I was with the Leaders (Leaders, Leaders, Leaders) Of the what? (New School!) Maxin', and relaxin', all of a sudden I just got this feelin' (What is it?) I looked to my rear (Yeah?), her silence was fear, guess what? The local town bully is here It was a frightening moment (Why?) I had to worry about my opponent (Yo, don't worry about it, Busta) He said "Hear my words, feel the rump, before I do hit your face, you better jump, I'm the real bad boy with the rough flip and, you know something, Busta, You're just a low down simp" But now there was danger in my mist The adrenaline's risin' to my fists Back into the absence of confusion, this moment was no longer amusin' Instead, I turned my head, walked away, with no delay I'd rather live to see another day Show me a hero [Interlude: Charlie B, Busta Rhymes & Dinco D] Yo, Busta man, ain't no way you goin' out like that! Go out! Word up, man! (But he's so big) Yo, man, you be teachin' me the real deal! You tell me what's up! Got to stand up and teach those that are heartless Stay on top! That's what you think, right fellas? (You a winner) [Verse 2: Busta Rhymes, Dinco & Charlie Brown] I had a talk with my man Dinc, Cut, and Charlie B they said Back (To reality) One thing you gotta understand (Ya dig?) You gotta face your troubles like a man (Get it?) I said that [?] last time, [?] time My brothers looked at me, they said (Busta Rhymes!) Despite your reaction, he got to serve a penalty for his actions (Now that's what I'm saying) He had a new school job before nightfall (Who's that?) Busta Bully, sittin' on the wall I'm sittin' here buildin' up my confidence, uh Waitin' for Busta Bully's ignorance He laid eyes on me, the show began I had to think firm on the ground I stand He approached rough, tried to snuff, then I gave a right to the jaw (Boom!) to the left, (Bang!) then I sang You try to distress twice, I don't wanna hear it L-O-N-S took care of it Flap on your back, laid out, I'd like to mention Giving me one question, Mr Bully Show me a hero! [Outro: Busta Rhymes] You show me a hero, boy That's right, I'm God, remember that Got to maintain all ignorance Y'all gonna get out the darkness real soon Gon' see the light Something you have to learn the hard way So many gon' have to (So many) learn it [?] All you ignorant ones, keep playin' a fool, if you want to We all gon' see
