“Street Shit” is track 6 on Busta Rhymes' 4th studio album, Anarchy, released in 2000. It was the first time Busta had worked with (at the time) up-and-coming producer Just Blaze, who would also lend his hand to the track later in the album, “Here We Go Again”, with Flipmode Squad.
This track is an...
[Intro]
Yeah
This one appears to be very forceful
Very forceful
Yeah, here we go now
Niggas, bitches, where you at talk
Thug niggas let me see y'all, yeah
[Verse 1]
Hah, before we slap niggas silly with somethin'
And put you out your misery and your sufferin'
(Uh-oh!) Yeah, and just for frontin' (Hah)
You got me bustin' two nines
With one hand tied together or somethin' (Huh)
Ain't no mistakin' we takin' your trap (Hah)
In case you niggas didn't know
You fuckin' with the gladiators of rap (Huh)
On some John Reno shit in Professional (Hah)
How we accurate and precise when we bust (Huh)
And every move is intentional (Choo-choo)
Violate and I will get at yo' ass (Hah)
And if I can't catch you track star
We'll start throwin' shit at yo' ass (Huh)
Wait a minute nigga, hold up second (Hah)
See you'se a bitch and while we bust yo' ass
Yo' faggot peoples ain't even checkin' (Huh, hu-huh-huh)
Yo, y'all need to send the coroner, shit (Hah)
Leave you lookin' out of place
Like you'se a tourist on some foreigner shit (Yeah)
I be that nigga and I love to experiment (Hah)
With specific high-explosives (Huh)
Just to take y'all niggas out of this element, now
[Chorus]
('Cause we got new shit for y'all)
(Hah) All my niggas in the spots, y'all know we tear the shit down and how we hold it nigga (Huh)
(And we come to take shit over y'all)
Yes, we here to regulate (Hah) and put our foot down, your shop is closin' nigga (Ah)
(Always rep the street for all y'all)
Constantly hittin' y'all (Hah) off with street shit and keep y'all niggas open, yeah
All my niggas, all my bitches
(What y'all gon' do now? Every time we come with that street shit) Hah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Yeah, we move like stonefaced cold-hearted niggas (Hah)
Baldfaced straight retarded niggas
Ayo, the shit we do be so off the hook (Huh)
Fuck around and get yo' leg broke
And beat all in yo' face with ya foot (Hah)
We here to stay, fuck payin' a visit (Hah)
I only fuck with certain live niggas
Like my nigga Tash, and Xzibit (Hah)
Ever since I vowed to keep the shit raw
I stay hittin' niggas with shit that'll leave they fuckin' face on the floor (Huh)
Everytime niggas know when we black (Hah)
Smack a nigga so fuckin' hard, he fall and probably spin on his back (Hah)
Funny how niggas'll always shit talk (Hah)
The very next day they will notice the difference
In the way they (Bitch!) walk
My street niggas need to come for the ride (Hah)
'Cause when we step up in the place
You funny niggas need to slide to the side (Huh)
I love to watch these funny niggas diminish
And while we slowly murder them niggas (Hah)
They prayin' on the moment we finish (Hah)
I take you back to the very beginnin'
And beat you in yo' head from birth
And watch you grow lovin' the shit we be bringin' (Hah)
Street niggas keep they mind on they dream
Focus the most on gettin' they paper
And be thoroughly reppin' they team (Huh, huh)
You know we quick to mash it down for some hours (Hah)
Quick to leave some of these niggas shook
Runnin' with the rest of them cowards (Yeah)
And leave the rest of niggas ready to dumb
And rep the street until we all die
Could give a fuck wherever you from, now
[Chorus]
('Cause we got new shit for y'all)
(Hah) All my niggas in the spots, you know we tear the shit down and how we hold it nigga (Huh)
(And we come to take shit over y'all)
Yes, we come (Hah) to regulate and put our foot down, your shop is closin' nigga
(Always rep the street for all y'all)
Constantly hittin' (Hah) y'all off with street shit to keep y'all niggas (Huh) open, now
All my niggas, all my bitches
(What y'all gon' do now? Every time we come with that street shit) Hah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Outro]
To all my motherfuckers
That live in the urban city areas
Only the urban city areas
The ghettos
The neighborhoods where they got delis, liquor stores
And churches right across the streets from all of that
Yeah
Motherfuckers sellin' weed, crack, and all of that shit on the corner
It ain't the right thing to do
But niggas is put-ten' in the motherfuckin', s- livin' conditions that have to do that shit
The street motherfuckers
All y'all survival of the fittest motherfuckers, survive
This is dedicated to y'all

Busta Rhymes released Street Shit on Tue Jun 20 2000.
Blaze confirmed with Complex that this was their first collaboration, saying:

Just Blaze explains:

Busta was dead set on having Jay-Z and DMX on the same song. Originally, he was going to leave Jay on “Street Shit” and have DMX on “While We Die,” but he really wanted to have them both on the same record. X had already recorded vocals on the other song, but...
Just Blaze would go on to produce multiple tracks for Busta, and he told Complex:
I did a lot of records for Flipmode [Squad] that didn’t come out. I probably got a whole album’s worth of songs from Flipmode. We did a ton of records that Busta’s still sitting on. [Busta’s] cool. He knows what he wa...
