Busted (Live) Lyrics by The Isley Brothers

Verzuz: The Isley Brothers x Earth, Wind & Fire (Live)

2021

[Intro: Ronald Isley]
Yeah, bring your ass on in here
I got something for you

[Verse 1: Ronald Isley, JS]
Busted, it's 2 o'damn clock in the morning, where you been?
(Baby, didn't you get my 2-way? I was with my girlfriend)
You a liar, I called Keisha and Tanya and they were both at home
(But I didn't say them though)
But they're the only friends I know
Girl, you better
(Wait before you get all upset, here's the truth)
Talk to me
(I was with my girl when she got some bad news)
And...?
(Her man cheated, had her upset and confused)
But baby what's that got to do with you coming in at 2?
I'm telling you
(Now shе was so upset, she asked mе to stay with her)
Well why didn't your ass just pick up the phone and call me?
(I was gonna do that but it slipped my mind, I'm sorry)
(But I'm telling you the truth)
Yeah, well I got something for you...

[Pre-Chorus: Ronald Isley, JS]
Tell me, what's her name? (Sharon)
Where does she live? (Um)
Her man's name? (Billy)
She got kids? (I think one or two)
She got kids? (Baby, yes, no)
That's one thing I gotta know
How the hell is she your friend
If you don't know if she got kids?

[Chorus: Ronald Isley, R. Kelly]
Go upstairs (Busted)
Pack your bags ('Cause you busted)
While you at it (Busted)
Call a cab ('Cause you busted)
It's obvious (Busted)
You played around ('Cause you busted)
Go upstairs and get your ****
And get the **** up out of here now

[Verse 2: Ronald Isley, JS]
(Frank, please here me out)
Ain't nothing to talk about
(I can explain everything)
Right now I want you out this house
(Baby, please one more chance
Let me tell you where I've been)
Well, quit wasting my time
And say what's on your mind, tell me
(Fine, me and some girlfriends) Uh-huh
We went dancing (Who?)
(Me, Shaniqua, Shaquan, and Robin)
Well, if y'all were going shopping
Why didn't you just check in?
(I was but then I thought my cellular was off)
Now earlier (Hmm) you said dancing (Uh)
But when I just asked (Hmm) you said shopping (Uh)
Tell me which one you were doing
(Oh baby, I must be confused)
Yeah right, you real confused

[Pre-Chorus: Ronald Isley, JS]
Tell me where you been? (Dancing)
Dancing where? (Um...)
The name of the club? (Kisses)
What time it end? (I think one or two)
What time it end? (Three, four)
Here's one thing I gotta know
At first you say dancing
But now you say shopping

[Chorus: Ronald Isley, R. Kelly]
Go upstairs (Busted)
Pack your bags ('Cause you busted)
While you at it (Busted)
Call a cab ('Cause you busted)
It's obvious (Busted)
You played around ('Cause you busted)
Go upstairs and get your ****
And get the **** up out of here now

[Verse 3: Ronald Isley , JS]
(Baby, I'm a victim of circumstances) Oh
(Why you don't believe me? I don't understand it)
Trying to slick a can of oil who you think you fooling
Now get on out my face (Baby)
Before I catch another case (Wait)

[Chorus: Ronald Isley + JS + R. Kelly]
Go upstairs (Busted)
Pack your bags (I don't wanna)
(Cause you busted)
While you at it (Busted)
Call a cab (A cab for what?)
(Cause you busted)
Its obvious (Busted)
You played around (No, I'm not)
(Cause you busted)
Go upstairs and get your **** (No)
And get the **** up out of here now

[Outro - Ron Isley + (JS)]
(No, innocent, innocent, innocent, I'm innocent)
No, you guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty
(Oh, now wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute)
Go upstairs and get your ****
And get the **** up out of here, tell me
(Tell me, where am I suppose to go from here)
Frankly my...
