[Intro]
(We're live in five, four, three, two, one)

[Verse: Busta Rhymes & Big Tigger]
Welcome, everybody, you are Live in the Den
With Big Tigger, hangin' out today with one of my friends (What up?)
Okay, if you ain't know, it be one of the best of all time
Bus-a-Bus for short, but some better know me as Bus' Rhymes
What's good? Maintainin', same here, just smashin'
How the fam? They all good, my n*gga, thanks for askin'
You and yours? We all blessed, things ain't too bad
Still dealin' with last year's sudden loss of my dad
Man, my condolences, thanks, dog, let's begin
Ain't seen you in a sec, Busta, what you been up to since then?
Stayin' healthy and keepin' it movin' while I just be showin'
These other n*ggas how to do it while I'm constantly growin'
I've been learnin' a lot, and still earnin' a lot of money crazy
Doin' my thing and securin' the win for all my babies
Alright, well, it's clear in this new year, you've been busy
But how you been dealin' with the drama of the loss of your man Izzy?
It's been one of the most traumatic times and I'll never forget it
I'm survivin', thus bein' a punchin' bag for those affected, it's somethin' that I accepted
It was hard to understand the way things happen
But in the end, I guess it's God's plan (Word)
Heard you beefin' with five-oh, couple cases on rotation
And on top of that, Bus Rhymes is now on probation?
Yeah, and I thank Judge Stevens and we was happy to see
That he ain't send me up north 'cause I got a family to feed
Changed your image up last year, cut the dreads down low
And also came the appearance of some major muscles
Now on the low, streets been talkin' like it usually do
Bus-a-Bus, help us out, the public needs to know
Just for the record, the reason a n*gga cut off the dread
I had to shed, tired of carryin' weight on my head
Secondly, it's all good when n*ggas talk, but they need to back it up
Only needles I use is when I tat-tat-tat it up
Uh, some people sayin' you changed, even your Flipmode fam (Uh-huh)
I heard them words came straight from Rah Digga and Baby Sham (Right)
Said you passed the courvoisier to pick up a gun
Said you more concerned about bein' hard than havin' fun (Yo)
Wow, Tig, I see you takin' it there, you got your arsenal, huh?
I think I know where you got that from, that Vibe article, bruh
The press'll turn your family against each other for 'fetti to sell a book
Besides, we all talked already and we good
Wow, that's what's up, be clear, it's goin' down
And if you wanna holla at Bus, call us up right now
Phone lines is open, what y'all wanna discuss?
What's good, caller? You Live in the Den with Big Tig and Bus
Hey Tig, what's good, ma? Enjoyin' the show
But there's somethin' about Busta I've been dyin' to know
Well, holla at him, hey, Busta, what's good, ma?
I've been a fan since way back when you dropped "Woo Hah"
Woo-hah, yeah, that was my joint
Every album since then always been on point
Thank you, videos and sick shows is hardcore
So why you think your albums haven't sold more?
Well, baby, the nature of the business is unstable
'Specially when your project ain't properly promoted by your label
Every album I put out gold or platinum, just a second
Check the hardware on my walls is major, just for the record
Read about you in a book or two, now tell me, Bus
Please discuss, were they all lies or some of it true?
Well, I read about you in a couple of books too, son
But I don't even know, tell me which book you readin' from (Aight, next caller)
Hey, Busta, I heard about you on Miss Jones
Why you bringin' up old sh*t? you need to leave that alone
So I'm sayin', is it true what she said?
Did you jump right out from between her legs and start fryin' eggs?
I can't remember exactly, but I used to ride to her hood
And pick her up all hours of night, thought the pus*y was good
'Bout fifteen years ago, sh*t
I can't imagine she'd remember that a n*gga made a mean egg sandwich
I seen a couple websites try to put you on blast (Uh-huh)
What's your relationship with homegirl with the real fat ass?
Who? You talkin' 'bout Deelishis? Yeah, her body is vicious
She like trouble, thus we only friends, y'all made us a couple
How do you deal with the gossip, rumors and lies
And feelin' like each and every move you make is analyzed?
Yo, it's all good, you see, the blessing is a gift and a curse
To be in the position I am, sh*t could be worse
I know my time's runnin' short, so let me get to this thought
I'm sure you wanna thank your fans for all of their support
Absolutely, see y'all are why I shine like the sun
Big up to all my peeps who been ridin' with me since day one
It's why I walk the streets with pride, you n*ggas know how I sh*t it
It's why I rep it thorough for all the fans who stay committed
Busta, now you've been gettin' it in since way back when
So what you say to critics sayin' you can't do it again?
See, I ain't gotta say sh*t to 'em, I'm off to somethin' else
n*gga check my resume, b*tch, it speak for itself
It's why I always do what I do and I big up my chest
God put his hands on me, you could see that I'm blessed
And I'm grateful
Aight, it's time to go
But I thank y'all for tunin' on in to the Live in the Den show
And if you don't know, now you know
And if you don't know, now you know, n*gga
[Outro: Busta Rhymes & Big Tigger]
Holla, Busta
Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes
That's what's up, man, holla
You crazy, n*gga
