Serious Business

[Intro]
We're about to kick it, guys
We're about to, we're about to...
We're about to kick it right here, listen!
We're about to, we're about to...
Uh, uh!
Serious business!

Listen!

[Verse 1]
This is for the peeps who be askin' me how I do it
Also for the peeps who think that I put way too much into it
Sacrificin' sleep to make the ends meet congruent
The hardest core language is one of which I am fluent
The school of representin' forever I'll be a student
Graduated with honors and now I'm here on stage to prove it
Kick a fresh beat to get all of ya heads movin'
Sing the verse with me or any words of your choosin'
When I say I'm real, bitch, better know that I'm truthin'
I put 100% into everything I sink my tooth in
Other whack bitches be fakin', they cartoonin'
That shit ain't computin' that's really and darn tootin'
When they say they serious man, it gets me fumin'
'Cause they don't go all the way to the top, they ain't improvin'
They cruisin' for a bruisin' Hadoukens and Shoryukens
Let me sing the chorus and get you clued in

[Chorus]
When he steps up to the mike
It's serious business
When he steps up to the mike
It's serious business

[Verse 2]
Breakin' the molds I'm makin' precidents shatter
I keep the mike electrified like Jacob's ladder
Refining my rhymes to be divine is what I'm after
And teach it to the next generation, the next chapter
Haters talk shit, I pull out my bitch smacker
Slap 'em up good then eat 'em like a fish snacker
Stand up for my shit while others stay on the crapper
The don't work like Duck Hunt without a zapper
Call me A-Maggedon, I bring global disaster
You know I gotta stay underground like Blaster Master
Put your hands to the air like Badger Badger
'Cause it just don't matta...

[Chorus 2]
When he steps up to the mike
It's serious business (serious)
When he steps up to the mike
It's serious business (oh no!)
When he steps up to the mike
It's serious business (oh, baby!)
When he steps up to the mike
It's serious business

[Post-Chorus]
When A_Rival steps to the mike
Serious business
When I step up to the mike
Ooh, serious business
Get down, yo

[Collision]

[Outro]
A_Rival style
Oh, yes, serious
Hip-hop
Oh, yeah, serious
8-bit
Oh, yes, serous
Hexa-decibel
Oh, yeah, serious
Michael Music
Oh, yes, serious
Fake scratchin'
Oh, yeah, serious
B-boying
Oh, yes, serious
Everybody in the crowd!
Oh, yeah, serious
Let's bring it!

It's serious business, baby!
