Brand Nubian

[Intro: Grand Puba]
Brand Nubian baby, here to flip it again
And you know it dont 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 Musas hair was white
Lord Jamar, Sadat X and Pubas here tonight
We got next on the court, I dont know what you thought
This flow cant be bought, only sold in exchange
for platinum ang gold, youve 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 gunsll deplete
[Chorus: Grand Puba]
Brand Nubian brothers here to flip it again
And you know we dont 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 dont mess around
Do the knowledge as we blaze the situation, so just feel me now
[Verse Two: Sadat X]
Im 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
Im 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
I aint got no shoes on my feet, Im from down the street, huh
Now cats ride around New York with the slick hot rods
Some late model usually pushing full throttle
Hanging illegal Us and staying with the gleaming shoes
Riding one deep but back to back to back
Fuck a buzz, its gonna happen just because
Sure I was with her was, but I dont know what she does
Big dimes hit me everytime like its a crime
My prime will steadily climb
Yeah, I cant release nothing to yall before its time
[Chorus]
[Verse Three: Grand Puba]
Now my verbal illustration graphic more than Playstation
Microphone occupation operation save the nation
Black crusader, persuader, educator
Knowledge detonator none greater
Leave haters stuck like a project elevator
Always jammin it airtight like a laminate
You cant contaminate it
Go-getters we be superb like Justins catfish fritters
Now I got 2000 flows, only 4 less than all of my hoes (Hey!)
Oops I mean my bros but Im just keeping yall on your toes
Excitement for your enlightenment, spitting novels, getting bravos
Tear it up like El Nino, keeping it hotter than jalapenos
Microphone holder doing more damage than rolling boulders
Rhyme style shouldve fooled ya, knocked your head right off your
shoulders
See my intention, black-on-black prevention, break the tension
Teach the seeds, tell them what they need and then collect my pension
Brand Nubian, baby, born more flows than a test tube valve
Your radio aint really on if Brand Nubian aint on your dial
[Outro: Grand Puba]
Yeah, as we do it like this
2000, Brand Nubian comin atcha one time
New millennium style
