Step Into Da Cipher

Brand Nubian

5

featuring Serge, Maestro Manny, Snagglepuss

[Lord Jamar]

First up it's the nuts up, what's up

to the niggas from the projects

Prospect Park in Brooklyn, I'm lookin at another crime scene

Committed by the brothers on this rhyme team

Just freestylin in a cipher, I take the life of MCs

If you're wack we got the right to seize

He's black like Ultra, know your culture

Motherfuckers don't know so they won't grow

Lord Jamar show and prove the rules I kick

Makin niggas move, no matter how smooth it get

or how rigid, niggas still get it

I kill wicked motherfuckers with the rhymes that I structures

In my third eye, know you heard I

study math like a mathmatician

See half of y'all wishin you could sound like the GODs from the town

of the Rule, you ain't got the urge, bust it down Serge

[Serge]

You know I smoke it like the flame to the tip of that bud, we just twistin

from another dimension, did I mention

that funky, that's the only way we know how to get niggas

Rhymes belimminent like a partial scholarship

But my style's so heavy it make you lean when I drop

Leave you spinnin like the washin machine before it stop

Goin all out, have to seal these motherfuckers fate

On a mission from Cleveland, ridin it from outta state

So ready yourself because it's on full scale

I heard some put Jamar to bail down to New Rochelle

Now Rule, that's where we scheme and we plot

On the late night, blunted in the basement with Sadat

And we discussin your demise, know it's gonna come

sure as the sun's gonna rise, send me the drum

And Serge is buckin off a shot from the mental insight

Air tight, throw a worker from cradle to gravesite

[M
