Intro/Chorus: Lord Jamar, Grand Puba

Straight outta Now Rule, Brand Nu keepin cool

We drop a jewel and never stoppin what we do

Always do what we must, everything that we touch

is going platinum plus, comin thru in a clutch

*repeat*

Verse One: Lord Jamar, Grand Puba

A lot of y'all niggas is 85th, on some shady shit

Bark is much worse than your bite like a baby pit

In the pitch dark of the night you's afraid to get exposed

like the sunlight which rose in the morning

Froze in a gunfight, forcing those who run with you to reevaluate

affiliations

We salivate from hunger, placed in fucked up situations

and wonder when retaliation will occur

Build destroy H-he or her

It's time to fill the void, niggas kill the noise

To the young boys, you fuckin with a grown-ass man

Watch your tone or get acquainted with the back of my hand

Nubian Brand steadily influencin fans

For other rappers we gon' ruin your plans

What we doin stands as a motto

Like Grace Jones' nipple to the bottle

We pioneer and never follow

We're out for the lion's share now watch me take it there

Yeah, my verbal clarity speaks for my popularity

Sell 5 million CDs and give the proceeds to my favorite charity

Son, I ain't gonna super splash you with no Fantasy Island shit

I mean I work hard for what I got and I be thankful for what I get

And if you practice, spit your verbs properly, not sloppily

Like monopoly, you can end up with cheese, whips and property

Oh damn, silly of me, I forgot to let y'all know

it's one thing you should never do in this game and that's sell your soul

I make a lot of sense then I go and make the dollars

Work hard like blue collars, ghett
