Listen: Busdriver Covers Busta Rhymes' "Why Stop Now" For Christmas

9:57 a.m. · December 14, 2011 · by Andrew Martin

Because he's a complete nut -- and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible -- L.A.lien Busdriver decided that he would rework Busta Rhymes' new Chris Brown-featured single, "Why Stop Now." And rather than solely flaunt his unfuckwithable speed-rapping skills, Busdriver turned the track into a hilarious look at consumerism just in time for the holidays. He completely runs with the track's hook of "why stop now, we can buy anything!" and uses it to detail his frantic shopping trip to Wal-Mart and other mega-stores. You can stream the track and read all the lyrics below. You might need to play it a few times to fully grasp everything.

Chris Brown: yeah, we can do anything...

Busdriver: That we want!

CB: Walk into anywhere and buy anything!

BD: within reason

CB: I be chilling, I ain't worried about anything

BD: I'm Christmas Shopping nigga!

CB: Why Stop now I could have everything

 

BD: I'm at Walmart like

CB: I can have everything

BD: I'm at Target like...

CB: I can have everything

Bd: I'm at the Urban Outfitters like...

CB: I can have everything! Why Stop now, I could have everything

 

BD: Leaving all the rappers on the planet with a stomach cramp

All you motherfuckers know that this ain't summer camp

its a meeting at Coco's with media moguls

Throwing money at my feet as I do jumping jacks

all you bitches are hollow/my dick you can swallow

like Mitch McConnell/kicking it at McDonald's

I'm on the corner of Alvarado with a big Chicano

holding a avacado and a water bottle making all the bottoms wobble

 

WHAT THE FUCK YOU DOING FOR CHRISTMAS THOUGH!

 

Filling my apartment with the holiday cheer

so I roll to work riding on a reindeer like...

when I decorate the company party

I always get this right with Christmas lights like...

mark your shit off the Christmas list

But I don't really have no Christmas plans

I'm probably just going to overeat then fall asleep 

All due to the tryptophan

I'm helping out at the homeless shelter

Looking exactly like Santa's helper

I spilled little bit cranberry sause on my suit

now do you have a can of seltzer 

This motherfucker ate all the turkey

what should I do with this pop tart

I guess I ain't really got to do shit

except put more shit in my shopping cart like...

 

 

CB: yeah, we can do anything...

BD:anything

CB: Walk into anywhere and buy anything!

BD: kind of

CB: I be chilling, I ain't worried about anything

BD: with my debit card... gift cards for everybody

CB: Why Stop now I could have everything

 

BD: I'm at Walmart like

CB: I can have everything

BD: I'm at Target like...

CB: I can have everything

Bd: I'm at the Urban Outfitters like...

CB: I can have everything! Why Stop now, I could have everything

 

I'm having an awkward convo 

with my Libertarian aunt about the tax code

even though I'm well over thirty my grandparents

got me this G.I. Joe bathrobe

talking to my teenage cousin

about he latest foray into drug abuse

And I picked the better Christmas sweater

at the dinner table, duck duck goose

I have a white Christmas after Black Friday

with my Jewish girlfriend and my Puerto Rican A&R

they know that my gift giving always raises the bar

give me that XBox!

Or get a tased scrotum or baked ovum

I'm bankrolling, to the point when I'm in the mall even though it ain't open

I'm at the check out counter

with a megaphone singing Christmas carols 

When I die, keep all of my shit

just like an Egyptian pharaoh 

on Christmas Eve 

my house looks like a packed rave

We're celebrating Sinterklaas's Cocoa-Cola contract

with his black slaves

 

CB: yeah, we can do anything...

BD: like buy a stainless steel juicer

CB: Walk into anywhere and buy anything!

BD: like a new stainless steel juicer

CB: I be chilling, I ain't worried about anything

BD: if you loved me you buy me this stainless steel juicer

CB: Why Stop now I could have everything

 

BD: I'm at Walmart like

CB: I can have everything

BD: I'm at Target like...

CB: I can have everything

Bd: I'm at the Urban Outfitters like...

CB: I can have everything! Why Stop now, I could have everything
