Samples
The "I guess I didn't know..." vocal in "Busy Child" is sampled from the song "Know the Ledge" by Eric B. & Rakim. The song also features a vocal sample from the DJ Pierre-produced house track, "Summertime (Is Get Busy Time)". The sample was made to sound like "Get busy, child!", which makes the basis for the song's title.
