buss有smack、peck的意思。从上下文看，应该是“挨揍”的意思。
unless you’re looking for a buss head = 除非你想找揍

砸破头 (busted head)
Only unless you’re looking for a buss head
除非你想被砸破头
可能来自 Buss Head 这首歌的歌词：
Dey come out to buss meh head
(They come out to bust my head)
De blows deh peltin like dey want to buss meh head
(The blows they pelting like they want to bust my head)

歌词很多字（故意）拼错。

头破血流
Only unless you’re looking for a buss head
除非你想头破血流。
buss head应该是俚语的用法，字面上说就是被打破头的意思，
“头破血流“是一个成语，和俚语buss head的风格有异曲同工之妙。带一些诙谐色彩，又能表达原文的意思。
