Brand Nubian

Intro: Grand Puba

Brand Nubian baby, here to flip it again

And you know it don't stop until the party ends

So get your hands up high, if you feel me reply

Cos you know these brothers here we keep it extra tight

Verse One: Lord Jamar

Look, listen and observe, it took precision to connect

The words of dialect within a rhythm you never heard

Forbidden fruit, take a bite, you could lose your life

like how they crucified Christ Musa's hair was white

Lord Jamar, Sadat X and Puba's here tonight

We got next on the court, I don't know what you thought

This flow can't be bought, only sold in exchange

for platinum ang gold, you've been told, open up the manifold

Only to reveal scrolls and scrolls

Premeditated to be dedicated to lost souls

Properly educated, never sloppily operated

Playing the beats for all my people incarcerated

We stay in the streets and find new ways to eat

Crime wave, I remember wetting my feet

in my blind days, now these niggas getting they heat

from under they seat, I wonder when the guns'll deplete

Chorus: Grand Puba

Brand Nubian brothers here to flip it again

And you know we don't stop until your party ends

So get your hands up high, if you feel me reply

Cos you know these brothers here, we keep it extra tight

The Foundation, as we hitcha with a Brand Nu creation

New millennium we don't mess around

Do the knowledge as we blaze the situation, so just feel me now

Verse Two: Sadat X

I'm in a rush, who got the keys to my truck?

Who am I? I just might be a spy

I drop a tear at the sight of the blue NY

I'm a threat just like Garnette

Pick a player out my set like Marbury

Serve me sherry with a cherry

I always eat what you think
