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
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 n**gas getting they heat
From under they seat I wonder when the guns'll deplete
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
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 N Y
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
I ain't got no shoes on my feet
I'm from down the street
Now cats ride around New York with the slick hot rods
Some late model usually pushing full throttle
Hanging illegal U's and
Staying with the gleaming shoes
Riding one deep but back to back to back
F**k a buzz it's gonna happen just because
Sure I was with her was but
I don't know what she does
Big dimes hit me everytime like it's a crime
My prime will steadily climb
I can't release nothing to y'all before it's time
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
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
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 can't contaminate it
Go getters we be superb like
Justin's catfish fritters
Now I got 2000 flows only 4
Less than all of my hoes
Oops I mean my bro's but I'm
Just keeping y'all 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 should've 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 ain't really on if brand Nubian ain't on your dial
Yeah as we do it like this 2000
Brand Nubian comin' atcha
One time
New millennium style
