Don't Believe 'Em

Busta Rhymes · Back on My B.S. [2009]

[Intro: Akon (T.I.)]

When they tell you that you'll never get over (ha ha ha)

Just tell 'em they're number one (el capitan partner)

You're a champion (yeah, the Ali of my day, you know me)

Don't believe 'em when they try to say it's over!

(I can't hear ya, I'm way up here, what you say?)

Just tell 'em they're number one (it's over for who, numero uno partner)

You're a champion (ha ha ha, let's go Bust!)



[Busta Rhymes]

Now, there's, nothin you can do to stop a nigga from within

With the hunger of a lion I secure another win (hey!)

So passionate, you might even misinterpret it as arrogant

I'm goin in (hey!)

I'ma make the world feel my pain

while I'm showin you my muscle and I hustle through the game

And even though they leave us in the hood like we ain't SHIT

We ain't got nothin but EVERYTHING to gain

Look, even if a muh'fucker try to pop me

I'm so BLESSED - do anything that you could do to stop me (STOP ME)

Now I'm climbin up the ladder and I'm jumpin at the top

You might wanna call me - ROCKY

See there's more of us - UGLY

You don't really wanna war with us - TRUST ME

So glorious, that we from the bottom

Still we victorious - HUG ME



[Chorus: Akon (Busta Rhymes)]

I see it in your eyes, it ain't hard to tell

They're watchin you (can't nobody ever stop what I'm doin)

They just tellin you lies, they want you to fail

They're plottin on you (and they can never stop my movement!)

Sooooo, don't believe 'em when they try to say it's over

(You know exactly what to tell 'em!)

Just tell 'em they're number one (number one)

You're a champion!



[T.I.]

Hey, see the websites lyin tryin to block my shine

Don't you know you never will stop my grind?

In a drop-top flyin like I don't got time

Got e'rybody surprised that I won't drop dimes

What's on yo' mind? Best get me off it

At least quit lyin if you must keep talkin

Go on with the nonsense, best keep walkin

Boy how you sue us, send the lawyers to the office

A lot of y'all got sprung like that shawty

Couple months off, I'll be right back shawty

With a brand new swag and a brand new .40

And a brand new ride, give a damn who saw it

Nation-wide news, nigga yeah you saw it

Shawty need a bodyguard for his bodyguard, don't he?

Tip fallin off sound kinda odd, don't it?

Y'all hate to see me ball? Take it up with God homie



[Chorus]



[Busta Rhymes]

Any situation where you might get FED UP

Gotta stay focused, homie keep your head up

It don't really matter what the next one is doin

Homie gotta handle your business and then you better STEP UP

Live to the fullest for the dream you're pursuin

Ain't nothin in the work gon' really stop what you're doin (OHH!)

Go hard no matter what they be sayin

Nigga don't quit cause you know we gotta keep it movin (OHH!)

Take a look and see yourself in me

Cause it's all about we (WE)

Me and you securin a win together

So we could be the best that we could ever be (OHH!)

Stay up on your grind, be the first one to - SET IT

People try to shut me down, I won't - LET IT

I'm so stubborn for the success

You know my motto - don't stop, get it, get it!



[Chorus]



[Akon]

Tell 'em they're number one [repeat to fade]

Don't Believe 'Em
