Grinch 2000 Lyrics by Busta Rhymes, Jim Carrey

Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

2000

[Intro: Jim Carrey]
This is a Flipmode Squad
Jim Carrey collabo
Now what?

[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes, Jim Carrey]
Uh, hallelujah, kids hear this, come on
While I'm lacing and tryna prepare this for y'all
Oh well, I got a story to tell about a dude I met once, miserable as hell
And how grouchy he was and how slouchy he was
And when he talked, you'd smell his breath and how frowsy it was
And how drowsy we was and if you daydream, I'll give you pinch
Now let me tell you about Mr. Grinch
Every holiday season while we was young, growing up
Everything be cool when Mr. Grinch show up
Always plottin' and schemin' to ruin everybody's holiday season
And never had a justifiable reason
Yo B, I had my reason, they call me The Grinch
I tried to live with the given, but it was making me wince
I see happy kids witless, "Merry Christmas" they shouted
I stole the gifts and there was nothing anyone could do about it

[Chorus: Choir, Busta Rhymes]
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You really are a heel (Yo, I think I do agree)
You're as cuddly as a cactus (Uh), you're as charming as an eel
Mr. Grinch, Mr. Grinch
(Busta Rhymes, Jim Carrey, Mr. Grinch)

[Verse 2: Busta Rhymes, Jim Carrey]
He was an angry little dude with a horrible attitude
And he'll show you some gratitude if you let him ruin your mood
Everybody knew about him from here to Baton Rouge
He remind me of the crazy lost cousin of Mr. Scrooge, word to mother
Yes, it's my favorite day
You let me take all your gifts and just yell my name (Mr. Grinch)
After that I'll be on my way
Just to return and successfully ruin your day

[Verse 3: Busta Rhymes]
OK, for the record, what the hell made you like that?
So grouchy and grimy, how everything about you is whack?
Ay yo, I know you all can tell from all the talk from his mouth
You better set some big traps around the gifts in your house
State-of-the-art surveillance just to give it a boost
You sleep with one eye open with a couple wild dogs running loose, now
He's definitely not the dude you can trust
He be bouncing with all your goods and leave you biting the dust

[Chorus: Choir, Busta Rhymes]
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel (Calm down, man)
You're as cuddly as a cactus (Take it easy), you're as charming as an eel (Pump the brakes)
Mr. Grinch, Mr. Grinch (Stop acting so uptight, man)
(Shake it off, man)

[Verse 4: Busta Rhymes, Jim Carrey]
Grinch come around safeguard your things
You better safeguard your money, safeguard your bling
You gotta safeguard your crib, safeguard your G's
You gotta safeguard the stash and the car keys
You gotta listen up to what we talking about
Yeah, it was better when the Grinch was never coming around here
Time after time again
Never mind he already took the liquor out your Heineken
He already quick to try again to steal the gifts another way
And give you all a different style again
Why you stackin' and you trying to swell?
You best believe Mr. Grinch schemin', dude stay conniving as hell
Ay yo, he stay schemin' when you thinkin' he not
Looking over your shoulder, peepin' everything you got
(Busta Rhymes, I will get you too)
Relax duke, you need to chill, something wrong with you

[Chorus: Choir, Busta Rhymes]
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
('Bout one of the meanest cats I think I ever met in my life)
You really are a heel (Mr. Grinch, you crazy, man)
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel (Huh, yeah)
Mr. Grinch, Mr. Grinch (Mr. Grinch, man, you crazy, man)
(Something wrong with you, man, for real, man)
You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch
You really are a heel (Busta Rhymes, Jim Carrey)
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel
(Worldwide exclusive, y'all)
Mr. Grinch, Mr. Grinch
(Happy Holidays, y'all, Happy Holidays, y'all)

[Outro: Jim Carrey]
I wanna give a shout out to the West Side of Who-ville
