[Intro: Tony M.]
Step, step to the mic, huh
Not yet
Step, step to the mic, huh
[Verse 1: Tony M.]
Step to the mic and taste the hype
It's manifested, this blessed gift, I had to bring it right
So let me dive right in
Where do I begin?
Hmm, well, let me call the law
[Chorus: Rosie Gaines & Tony M.]
Call the law (We're gettin' busy y'all)
We're gettin' busy, y'all
Call the law (Call the law)
We're gettin' busy y'all (We're gettin' busy, y'all)
Call the law (Call the law)
We're gettin' busy y'all (We're gettin' busy, y'all)
[Post-Chorus: Tony M.]
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
[Verse 2: Tony M.]
Ooh, the law, they come around when everyone's having a ball
And by the way, that reminds me of a party, y'all
Northside Minnie, Twin Cities, mid-summer on the scene
And my people get busy fryin' up the bird (Get the chicken, baby)
Word, whoever heard of a party bein' ready
Without a money makin' pot of spaghetti? (Ha ha ha)
Yeah, what you laughin' at?
I'm sellin' liquor plus some plates at seven dollars a crack
Huh, and that's profitable
And for a sucker like you, that's a mouthful
Hmph, you better call the law 'cause we gettin' extreme
Pick it up P
[Chorus: Tony M. & Rosie Gaines]
Call the law (Call the law)
We're gettin' busy y'all (We're gettin' busy, y'all)
Call the law (Call the law)
We're gettin' busy y'all (We're gettin' busy, y'all)
Call the law (Call the law)
We're gettin' busy y'all (We're gettin' busy, y'all)
Call the law (Call the law)
We're gettin' busy y'all (We're gettin' busy, y'all)
[Post-Chorus: Tony M.]
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
[Verse 3: Tony M.]
Back to the scene, the basement's packed
Buddy at the front door breakin' backs
That's security ensuring thee
The best possible time for you and me, yeah
The party's jumpin' (Ho, ho, ho)
Everybody's bumpin' to Rock Creek Park when (Ho, ho, ho)
Bo and his girl got silly (What'd she do?)
Jumped up on my chandelier and got busy, yeah
He had to snatch the ho (What?)
We got Geo in the background screamin', "Here we go, here we go!"
Yeah, the tempo's upbeat
Hollywood swingin' at the end of the bar
He began singin', "If I didn't care..."
[Chorus: Tony M. & Rosie Gaines]
Yeah, you better call the law (Call the law)
We're gettin' busy y'all (We're gettin' busy, y'all)
[Outro: Tony M.]
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Here we go, here we go
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Here we go, here we go
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Here we go, here we go
Yeah, that's alright
Give it to me, come on
Yeah, mm hmm, alright
Mmm hmm, yeah
Kick it P (You better call the law)
I'm outta here, yeah
Peace
