The Assignment Lyrics by N.O.R.E.

N.O.R.E.

1998

[Intro]
Word up, Busta Bus, my motherfuckin' nigga (Bus)
Uh-huh, my nigga, man (Ya heard?)
This my nigga right there
What, what

[Verse 1: Noreaga & Busta Rhymes]
Yo, you know Nore, type of nigga stay real trump
I ain't the type to fight a nigga, just blaze you up
What the fuck? All you niggas wanna say what, what
While you halfway thugs soundin' halfway butt
If you ain't with Busta Bus, then shut the fuck up
Niggas is snakes, in other words just like jakes
Yo, I sell raps, used to sell crack on crates
It's like a Stockton shot, won't look, but it dropped
Yo, I'd hate to have to send my niggas all in your spot
Like Spliff Star, shootin' right all in your car
Busta Bus plug the engine with bananas
Even if they lose our sight, we still got cameras
We play the game like the movie, smoke loosie
B.I.G. gone, but my favorite song still Juicy (Yo, ya-yo, yo)

[Verse 2: Busta Rhymes]
Closed caption, son don't even know what's happenin'
Before the second thought, make you feel the wrath of my clappin' (Boom)
Fire flashin', two holes up in your head matchin'
Dope fiend in the corner itch from AIDS scars, scratchin' (Huh)
We make the nutter-butter, thick creamy shit from the gutter
Paranoid these niggas, flip and make they heartbeat flutter
You's a sucker (Ha), lace you up with my boxcutter
Your mother love her other son like you ain't even his brother (Ha)
Pussy nigga, I flip up to the max on you, nigga
Pose a violent threat immediately, black on you nigga
Ski maskin', fuck whatever question you askin'
Busta Rhyme and Nore Wonder Twin connect, we attachin'
Hold your corner, violatin' 'cross the border (Huh)
Try to catch my jewel, spyin' with your tape recorder
Fuck is wrong with you? (Ha) Don't you know we raw 'til the end? (Buck)
Battlefield shit, Flipmode Squad, CNN

[Chorus: Busta Rhymes & Noreaga]
Busta Rymes (What, what), Noreaga (What, what)
Flipmode (What, what), Thugged Out (What, what)
Spliff Star (What, what), Busta Rhymes (What, what)
Noreaga (What, what), Thugged Out (What, what)
Flipmode (What, what), Busta Rhymes (What, what)
Noreaga (What, what), Thugged Out (What, what)
Spliff Star (What, what), Flipmode (What, what)
Busta Rhymes (What, what), Noreaga (What, what)

[Verse 3: Maze]
Yo, it's the same as any, in this game you win or lose
Jump out the Ac, run up with the Uz', don't move
Magically Maze lyrically invade like a SWAT raid
Top grade rockin' wallaby suede, I'm always coppin', poppin'
Three in the air for my niggas not here
Locked in Whitney, tipsies, specifically it twist me when it's Cristy

[Verse 4: Noreaga]
Let me go again, make sure the shit's soakin'
Thugged Out and Flipmode is like next of kin
Yo, we do it up, sendin' them niggas that won't screw it up, what?
Handle your business, God, even if Kahlúa-ed up
I rock Clarks, on and off like John Starks
What? Shoot at your face, God, aim at your heart
Yo, from Indiana to Atlanta, God, we got this
Jose Luis, thugs just put me in the hot list
I rip shows, but never gotta go at hoes
Stay travelin', playin' click, just stay froze
I got the left arm, stay in the game like Montan'
My thug charm is everywhere now, dot com
Hear me anytime, you can access it
W dot Nore, yo, suck my dick
Peep me with Akinyele, yo, fuckin' for free
On some thug shit, my thugs stay fuckin' with me, what?

[Verse 5: Spliff Star]
Yo, let me at 'em, nigga, I got your gat, so let me splatter
Into smithereens, throw some bullets in his jeans
Another thug story, I bust my gun for Nore
Snap a nigga neck and now the law lookin' for me
I'm thugged out, bugged out, blow your fuckin' mug out
No di-doubt, I see you can't eat what you dish out
Watch, I reach in your soul, nigga, and pull the bitch out
Watch my TEC rise, feel the shells that it spit out
I'm warnin' you, send twenty niggas deep to corner you
Dressed in black from Brook' to Iraq
Blastin' MAC-10s, I be killin' y'all Benz
Live coverage at ten on CNN

[Chorus: Busta Rhymes & Noreaga]
Flipmode (What, what), Busta Rhymes (What, what)
Noreaga (What, what), Thugged Out (What, what)
Spliff Star (What, what), Flipmode (What, what)
Busta Rymes (What, what), Noreaga (What, what)
Busta Rhymes (What, what), Noreaga (What, what)
Flipmode (What, what), Thugged Out (What, what)
Spliff Star (What, what), Busta Rhymes (What, what)
Noreaga (What, what), Thugged Out (What, what)

[Outro: Noreaga]
What, what
