Nutshell Pt. 2 Lyrics by Phife Dawg

Forever

2021

[Intro]
Yo, Phife, you doing a remix or what?
Uh-huh (Uh-huh)
Yeah (Yeah)
Ayy yo, Bus', let me get a backwood, nigga
Ha ha, yo
Phife Dawg is in the buildin' (Uh-huh)
Redman is in the buildin' (Huh)
Busta Rhymes in the buildin' (Remix)
Ah ha

[Verse 1: Phife Dawg]
Peep the rebirth of the reborn as I rebuild
Reconnect with this rebel, redefining raw skill
I realign, readjusted, refocused
Reanalyzed what's real versus bullshit
Had to refuel, reactivate to reemerge
Reevaluate, recalculate, bitch, I return
Redefine, re-energize, get reacquainted
Riddim Kidz Incorporated—Roots, we made it
Invulnerable, inviting, invincible
Inventive one, which leaves most inviable
Get involved, invest in these youths, kid
Invigorate, induce that old realness
Insecure, nah, more like inhumane, it's not a game
Shut your mouth, use your inner voice, stay in your lane
Inaugurate those with incentive to wanna innovate
Insistent that those who inspire we will initiate

[Chorus: Phife Dawg]
(What?) And that's just me in a nutshell
Nutshell, nutshell, nutshell
Ha, Phife Dawg in a nutshell
New York's finest in a nut—

[Verse 2: Busta Rhymes]
Look
Unpredictable, I'm so unfuckwittable
Unfathomable, the love I get, unconditional
Unequivocal, undestructable, unthinkable
Spit, it's understandable how the flow unforgettable
Unbuckle belts, unclothed bitches in Raris
Unclean vagina, please go clean your punani
Inhospitable, that's one sick individual
Untraceable DNA, nigga flow unforgivable
Ha, and that's just me in a nutshell
I unallow those unwelcome, you're unapparent (Ha)
It's undisputed I got you stuck like under a magnet (Oh)
Under a cabinet, unofficially though, I had to get her number
Write it up under the logo with the laminate (Woo)
The unbeaten undertaker, undercuttin' niggas
Unexplainable ass-beating, underhanding niggas (Ho)
Undenounce, bury you under the mansion
I undespicably hope that we have an understandin'

[Chorus: Busta Rhymes]
(Huh) And that's just me in a nutshell
Nutshell, nutshell, nutshell
Zen! Busta Bust in a nutshell
Here's Reggie

[Verse 3: Redman]
Yo, I keep moving, I keep bud, I keep fire
I keep an attitude for niggas to keep tryin'
I keep it Deuces, Bigelow, for Rob Schneider
I keep it flowin' 'til my hands gettin' arthritis (Let's go)
I keep bars, I keep money, I keep cookin'
I keep a car for Sade to keep lookin' (Ooh)
I keep it Jers', I'm killin' em, I keep goin'
I'll put you on a T-shirt, nigga, keep calm
I keep women, I'm like Nas, I keep Ether (Yeah)
Phife and Bus', that's my brothers, keeper, keeper (Ha-ha-ha!)
I keep a K, call it Slay, the street sweeper
Sim Simma, give me the keys to your Beamer (Woop woop)
Keep your friends close and enemies closer
It's rappers like me that'd piss off Oprah (Gr)
Keep focused, I keep blunts for cheap thrills
Me and Lindsey Lohan? That's a nutshell

[Chorus: Redman, Busta Rhymes & Phife Dawg]
(Ha) Redman in a nutshell
Nutshell, nutshell, nutshell
And that's just me in a nutshell
Nutshell, nutshell, nutshell (ha!)
Ha, Phife Dawg in a nutshell
New York's finest in a nutshell, yeah

[Outro: Redman]
Yes the Redman is what they call me
Rarrarh
Busta Rhymes now
Rah! Rah!
Phife Dawg
Five Foot invasion son
Live and direct!
Dilla, by way of Detroit, Michigan
How ya mean!
And that's just the way the story goes
Gillahouse
Via Brick City, Jersey
Y'knaw mean, the Conglomerate
Via Brooklyn
Ya done know
Riddim Kids
Via Queens, T-Dot
Let me hear it back
