[Intro]
Uh, uh!
Uh!
Uh!
Ah, uh!
Aww man there go that guy again
Word, that's that Busy Bee guy!
The Suicide man, yeah this time he's talkin' about running thangs
Getting cold cash money
I mean he's running thangs
He's running everybody out of craziness
Runnin' 'em wild
Man, he's running thangs, for real!

[Verse 1]
Kickin' up money, stick it up honey
I'm havin' so much fun it shouldn't be funny
But you don't see me smilin'
I'm fashion and stylin' and b-boy profilin'
Ya see I'm so damn dope
You put my rope chain on, man it'll cut your throat
Break your neck like a chicken wing
I'm Busy Bee and I'm running things
At the quarters, with me and Red
Red Alert y'all, that's why I said
To all you suckers that are tryin' to dis
If you try to dis that, then you better kiss this
Uh, I mean kiss it clean with a dope lean
But don't spit on my jeans
You go out with a bang
I'm Busy Bee y'all, I'm running things
Uh!
Man I'm running things
I'm Busy Bee and I'm running things
Oh man I'm running things

[Verse 2]
You see me on the corners in the Boogie Downs
I started rockin' the rhymes and the crowd gathered around
And Busy started kickin' the flavor
And everybody else just be on your best behavior
'Cause doin' this is my job
And I'm kickin' more flavor than Carvel, Baskin Rob-
-bins or Breyers or even Good Humor
The cream of the crop will rise and it's no rumor
The def jam's on the cut
I got all kinds of fruits and berries, I even got nuts
'Cause like I said I'm a dream
I got the girls and the world on my ice cream
So take a lick, you better make it quick
I'm rammin' it and jammin' it and stick it where the sun don't shine
And the birds don't sing, why?
'Cause I'm Busy Bee plus I'm running things

Yeah

[Verse 3]
My style's exotic, I'm highly erotic
But let's talk about it, because Busy Bee's got it
Uh, I better knock on wood
My name's Busy Bee and I got it good
It's on sale, and it'll never fail
I'm more freaky than the boys in Chippendale's
I got a PhD in royalty
I'm the MVP for makin' history
I got better wood than the mighty oak tree
'Cause it's me, the Busy Bee
And I'm kissin' on Queens, dissin' up Kings
I'm Busy Bee y'all plus I'm running things
Yeah, come on y'all, sing y'all
I'm running things
Stone cold running things

[Verse 4]
Oh yes, my beat is funky
Just listen close and you will be a junkie
The monkey's all over your back
So dope that you never say the Busy is whack
'Cause my rhyme's the law, my workers call me Sarge
Carte blanche, Visa and Mastercharge
I never spent a stamp wherever I've been
I just say "Hi you!" as I walk on in
And then on my way out, I said I had big fun
I got a bankroll that still weighs a ton
Uh! And you know I'm rich
I got to go, you son of a bitch!

Yeah!
Oh yes I'm out of here
I done spent a few dollars, I'm still running thangs
Yeah!
Well how you like me?
No, back up, be good
[?]
[Verse 5]
Busy is runnin' it, I'm havin' fun with it
I'm rockin' the groove in it, cold top-gunnin' it
You see, I'm housin' it, heistin' it, slicin' it, I'm dicin' it up
So precise in it, cuttin' up diamonds
I'm blowin' up minds and I'm kickin' behinds
Why? Because I'm ahead of my time
But don't press your luck
Because I rock around the clock, make time, catch up
'Cause I'm prime, the best you ever saw
Like Eddie Murphy y'all, Busy Bee is raw
And it's strictly me, why?
'Cause I'm running things plus I'm Busy Bee

Oh yeah!
You know it
That's right, from the Boogie Down Bronx, running things

Now alright, now before we get this thing started now
I want y'all to know that I'm better known as the backbone of the microphone, the same guy from around the Bronx
Right, then I used to go
And then ya, and then ya, and then ya, I used to go

Bawitdaba da dang da dang diggy diggy diggy diggy diggy diggy diggy diggy, diggy, diggy
A-boogie boogie, baw-ba-diggy-diggy, bawitdaba da dang da dang diggy diggy
Shake the boogie to the bang bang boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie

Man I'm running things
Stone cold running things
Man I'm running things
That's right, I've got to go, see ya!
Running things!
