This samples "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. The metallic vocals mumbling "I am Iron Man" are replaced with Busta emitting a long, dragged out shout of the title. Ozzy Osbourne, who originally sang the song, performed on this as well, singing between Busta's rapped verses the way he originally performed the song, although with different lyrics.
"This Means War!!" was the song's title when it was originally released on Busta's album Extinction Level Event (The Final World Front). When it appeared on the compilation album Nativity in Black II: A Tribute to Black Sabbath, it was called "Iron Man (This Means War)".
Busta Rhymes: "He (Ozzy) was great. I remember when I first heard the song 'Iron Man.' The lyrics like 'Is he live or is he dead?' just affected me. The power he puts behind it. The intensity, the effect - it's the same way I approach my sh**, whether I'm recording or performing. To be able to do this on E.L.E. blew me away."
