1.All For One
Verse one：grand puba
I hit a beat and swing a note as if my name was david ruffin
Quick to toast an mc just like an english muffin
Don't worry about a thing cause the puba's never bluffin
I gets headaches from the wack, so then i take a bufferin and i
max
I wait until the opportune time and then i tax
But should i max？
Now they say sinning is for sinners so i guess i'm not a sinner
Beginnings is for beginners so i guess i'm no beginner
This is how i spark it, with money in my pocket
When it comes to having pressure i gets hard as a rocket
Mc grand pu, coming through all the residue
The songs remain classics, dating back to the babalu
My boys i call em hot, the phones all of them jock
And i can think of many episodes i swung in lincoln park
No i'm not a phony and i got a tenderoni
Love the way she is -- not too fat, not too bony
Don't drink sanka, won't sink like a tanker
Knock the boots of a skirt in casablanca and i thank her
Some rappers stink, like englebert humperdink
Better yet dick caveat, i got a bad habit
Similar to the girl, on she's gotta have it
I think with the brain and i whip behind the zipper
I'm living kinda good similar to jack tripper
A landlord named roper did a show at the copa
When i finish with this, i'll be paid like oprah
So if honey wants to act fly
Cause you've been cut off like a lightswitch
See i'm programmed to slam with the summer, spring, and fall
Before i do a show i get some kicks out the mall
Then i get my gear and i give trev a call
Cause he works in the barbershop, right behind the mall
Other rappers tried to rob me but you know they got did
To put it blunt, honey i smoked the kids
So hookers back off break north here comes the regulator
Cause you doesn't find none greater
Verse two： derek x (now sadat x)
On file is a style that's why you caught a clip
My suitcases is packed and i'm going on a trip to mic-a-delphia
I go for self and still be slamming
The school bell is ringing and i caught somebody cramming
For the test, oh yes, my study guide was thick
I cut you with my verbal didn't hurt you just a nick
Off your face don't play possum
Watch me and i'll blossom like a rose
And get some new clothes and a fresh fade from rob
Jump on the phone and dial the now rule mob
Now come one, come all, we about to get hectic
If my crew don't get in, then the x makes an exit
To the rear, i'm outta here, don't front on my brothers
I take care of them before i take care of others
Now wood bats is doomed in the ninties it's aluminum
Step to the stage with a mic and i'm doing him something awful
I'm a citizen and i'm lawful
I go to hunt another fall, rip the policemen's ball
I got the power to make a car stall
I guess i'm great, from blackness, and when the crowd slackens
I stop drinking, and then i start thinking
About days in the past when derek x was last
But now i'm on the top damn news travels fast
Cuz i'm like that! they can't see this
Read my book, it contains many pieces of verses
I took the time to delete all the curses
So moms reach deep in your purses
And buy me take me home and try me and do me well
Verse three： lord jamar
Well, while i reign rhymes pour
You suck it up like a straw and jump on the dancefloor
Cause every time i step in a jam
I make like a door and slam
But then girls try to turn my knob cause i'm a hearthrob
I guess it's just a hazard that comes with the job
Cause everytime i rock a rhyme that shows jamar is intellectual
Girls want to get sexual
Well i guess i have to cope with being so dope
You want to be me, but can't see me with a telescope
You seek and search but still you can't find
You're weak and it hurts to be deaf dumb and blind
A supreme mind, will take you out of your paralysis
I grip the mic so tight i get callouses
And your analysis, is that the lord
Rips rhymes into shape with a mic cord
I do it good cause i'm a postive black man
Eating up suckers as if i was pac man
Not a dapper dan fan i stay casual
To rock like the j it comes gradual
You got to know the ledge of wise and dumb
And understand your culture of freedom
Power equally with the gods
So you can build and form your cipher
All your life you must teach true
Of the true and living god, not a mystery spook
And when you do that, pursue that goal
Which made the student enroll, and only then you'll prosper
2.Feels So Good
'feels so good!' (3x)
Yes yes yes
It's a test test test
Now rule is the town
Where we rest rest rest
If you were wondering
Were the ballistics finally in
Once again,
Brand nubian!
You and your girl came to see the three rock
Now she stays
Kick the funky lyrics, throw her down
To her pj's
Lay her on the floor and do work
In three ways
After the party
Guess what？
Aiyyo she's still payin!
'feels so good!'
I got this girl a mink sable, in return i got a cable
Her name was fat mabel and she brought my kid to table
Ate pasta with this rasta, went out with her sister
Her hands on her chin, thought she was a mister
Went out disco dancing and my feet i made blister
Smacked in the face until i finally i dissed her
Encounter with a stunt, and i'm out for spot fronts
And stunts was on the wiggy, i thought her name was ziggy
But her name was lucy and i met her on the deucey
Put me on hold to go in a store to get loosey
(come on)
Aiyyo mack she need to stop it
Now let me kick some flavor since we're building on the topic
Cause yo, i knew this girl and her name was tina
She rested in medina, never saw eyes greener than hers
But yo there was just one little flaw, the green eyes
I had to penalize, cause they was bought in a store
A synthetic cosmetic, it was pathetic
If they was real, then yo she got the credit
But they wasn't so she doesn't
I like the natural look, so i kicked it to her cousin
'feels so good!' (2x)
I'll take you just the way you are!
Too hot to handle when i was young i used to vandal
Giving girls the comfort like a foot and a sandle
Always help another brother, never running scandals
And if i hit the skids, well i'll just panhandle
Now i'm gettin papes, but stunts gets the vapes
I see it as a joke cause they break when you're broke
I can give a roar like an ancient dinosaur (rrrwwaoorrr!)
Swing a microphone like the great mighty thor
Puba maxwell is the mack that's hyphenated
Girls seem to love the way my things are situated
Hump on a bump til them bumps is feelin sore
Take a quick breather then i'm goin back for more!
'feels so good!' (2x)
I do my thing like b.b. king my microphone is named lucille
Throw a dip in my hip so they call me extra ill
Making big hits from tidbits, how i make my bread
Do some situps, and squat thrusts, to keep a level head
Cause i'm well bred, and mannered, i create in my workshop
Stay up late at night until my brain says to stop
Then i quit, wake up in the morning and continue it
I find the same line, and add some more (shit) that's hype
But my stripes, marks me by champ
Check out the bass coming from the power amp
I'm the controller and like ayatollah
I used to live in saudi arabia
I never come out straight out with an answer
Just a yes, or a no, or a maybe i do
But with my crew sometimes i get blazed
Jump on the floor and kick a new dance craze
I can read and i've red since the days of ？
If rhymin is fundamental, then light up a spliff
And grab, and not an ounce of flab, is on my body
My mother's part spanish, my father's part yardie
I'm not a junior, try to see me catch a ？
I got yeast to rise straight through the moon
'feels so good!' (manipulated several times)
Girls scope this, like in astrology they knowledge me
That's cause i'm god, but don't look too hard in the sun
Cause you might get done
My number's seven, that's six plus one
Now any way you count lord jamar will amount to be
A tower, so yo, knowledge my power
As i conclude, to girls i won't be rude
Just verbally feedin em my mental food
I embellish with lyrics, that can't be contested
Serve em straight from my mouth and in your ears they're
digested
The rhyme i say, is out of the ordinary
Some say unique i prefer the term extraordinary
Mc's rhymes are ancient like a dinosaur fossil
They're weak and outdated while my rhymes are collosal
Like a lamborghini, i look good, and i'm expensive
Plus the power i'm unleashing is just, too intensive
Discombublatin mc's with thin mind percentage
Guys like my rhymes, girls like my masculinity
When i'm on the mic i say what i feel
I'll never perpetrate cause the god's for real
It's like that (that) and at my jams you know you'll never be
bored
So just dance and scream, praise the lord
Alright now this is how we gonna do it
Before we get out like shout
We used to be some soloists but now we form tri-pack
And if you try to step to this you just might catch an eye jack
And if you were intelligent, you really wouldn't try that
This is just one black, we'll be back!
To my man alamo
And to the man sincere
To my man mark the spark
And to my brother melachon
And skeff anslem on the board
Aiyyo check this out
We got some shoutouts for my man grand puba
Youknowhati'msayin since he doin the 'la la-lah'
He wanna say peace to his man c-t-w-o
To my man zee i'll see you real soon!
3.Concerto In X Minor
Well ahh, good evening my nubian brothers and sisters ahh
Tonight we got a really big show ahh really big show ahh
Con-duc-ting his con-cer-to in x minor
We have, the brother, derek x
Ahh, his theme tonight, will be on
Racism, in a new yawrk, backdrop
Brother derek x..
Aw yes yes yes thank you thank you thank you
And alla that, yo
Before i get this wreck i wanna give a strong shout
To all the positive brothers and sisters that's out there
And i just wanna let y'all know
Who i came down here with
I slid in here with lord j
And alamo with the a
And i came to get wreck, like this!!
I'm kinda blessed so i wrote this manifesto for life
Co-signed by the others with a knife
＊ alamo cuts and scratches 'brand nubian!' ＊
On the real tip let's take a field trip from the ghetto
You pick the time and we'll meet in the meadow
To discuss racial issues and tension
New york's a powder keg did i forge to mention？
＊ alamo cuts and scratches 'new york, new york' ＊
Now case in point y'all remember that brooklyn bridge joint
When things got wild and willy？
Yeah that day the feds played the role of the bully
'up against the car!'
'yo i ain't even do nuttin man'
'aiyyo shut up or you get smacked!'
'yo why you pushin me why you hittin me man？'
Now huey newton was slain and we all felt the pain
Of yusef hawkins, and they was mad but we was squakin
They tried to show a false compassion, yet at the rally
They tried to bash in our brains
Further adding to the bloodstains
I was mad at this news and so was my brothers
And i wanted to get violent but i'm a lover of black mothers
And black mothers need sons
Not children that's been killed by guns..
It's, just a-nother form of slavery, a modern day lynchin
The others get the world, the black man feels the tension
Inside, not out to hide, just provides us all the answer
I will stop racial injustice if i get the chance to!
＊ alamo cuts and scratches 'when the revolution comes' ＊
Now, the
Civilized man's main goal is to teach
And i try to achieve this with verbal outreach
In my community, and all outlaying counties
Spread the message of good with my now rule mighty
Step up to the right, dispense and be known
Remember what i said is to teach your own
At home first, and as we disperse
I sparks your head like a cloudburst
Ya don't stop, ya don't quit
Derek x i'm guaranteed to be the ultimate
(brother derek x) i kicks the flavor!
So bust that i drop the stack from my almanac
It's all truth so it's got to be a shown fact
So keep on this is the dawn of the capricorn turtle
A rhyme that i kick is stored daily in my journal
Or my diary when speakin on the black man i gets fiery
The record's in the record store, category's black war
Best you ever saw and it comes in a three or a four pack
In a month or two i'll be back
To confer with you on both of my works
In my contract, i get crazy perks from elektra
See me kick this rhyme and i covered the whole spectrum
This is the final verse, grand finale in crescendo
Message substance of the x cannot be thrown out the window
Unseen, lean two years past the teen
Never use makeup got a natural sheen
It's like that y'all let's have a ball
I'm derek x about six feet tall
Yeah and as i stop this wreck for one sec
I wanna give a shout to the grand puba
Also to club kid marley marl ('i understand that time is running
out')
Pete rock from the vernon
I wanna give a shout to mike p and cherokee also in tucson
('i understand that time is running out')
Rich with the carry on
I wanna give a shout to all the gods in now rule
('understand that time is running out')
Melacasis, sea and my man true born
I wanna give a shout to big bob ('time is running out')
Scooby real and the whole mob from the stallion mark the spark
And i'm outta here
＊ alamo cuts 'running out' ＊
4.Ragtime
Let's pull it bwoy
Aiyyo, check this out
Brand nubian gettin ready to swing this ep'
We got the grand puba, we got derek x on the flex
We got, lord jamar, we got alamo with the a, ron stud!
And my man ep rock
X, kick the flavor for me on this one
Cause we gettin ready to be out of here in a, sec
Wild, new york raw as my voicebox soars i'll
Open your pores cause it's one of my chores
Kickin beats to boggle rhythms, cuttin rhymes to a schism
People often wonder and ask..
Is i'm the best？ surely you jest, i'm not down with the rest
In fact.. they failed the test
It's my vernacular that's simply spectacular
My bite is in your neck it's the effect, of dracula
Man on a mission, go to school with low tuition
Can't even keep account, of the g's i be kissin
But oh i beg your pardon, the race, is startin
The criminals is there and i'm the hardest of the hard
And it's a feet for you to meet me on any given day
The adjective - amazing, spelled with an 'a'
And a 'g' on the end, by usin, my pen
Set forth on a journey for the, perfect blend
Rhymin was a fad in the days of my dad
Now mc's is makin g's and goin for bad
The x in my name makes it, all official
Am i the king？ well that's the so-called issue
Rollin off the tongue was the fresh one-liner
And cb talker was the zero one-niner
Took a slight drop from the tip of the top
Now i'm out for mines and i'm goin to clock
What's mine on the line on a rhyme i will dine
Never ate the pig can't deal with the swine
Keep on, yes my word is bond
Speakin that knowledge like farrakhan
Cause it's ragtime!
Ah yeah it's ragged, let's do it!
Aight now we got lord j
Lord j, yo c'mon now
Kick, the flavor, to this
Drop it like this (i'ma swing it like this)
I like to drop bass, cause when it hits, i bounce em
I do this with my seven and my one half ounces of brain
Which i contain, to manifest thought
The record is bought so i figure i ought to elaborate
(might as well) as minds in turn collaborate
I speak the facts black, i don't exaggerate
I just get to the bare essential
Demandin that i talk, of my credentials, cause yo
I never slept, my mind was in the right place
Now let's take our steps and retrace
Back to a time, when black was defined
As original, god-like, supreme divine
Refined is my mind that's why i'm buildin
There was a void in new york but now it's filled in
By the lord j, don't forget the a-m-a
To the r, now say i'm a star (you a star, j!)
Well you can be one too
Now here's all you got to do (whatcha gotta do？)
You got to know knowledge of self's the foundation
Know wisdom's the way to let it outcome
Understanding is the manifestation
And cutural freedom, the final turnout, cause it's ragtime
That's definitely ragtime
Now let me brag mine! let me brag mine
Hit this in the 90's
Hey yo, bust it (here i go here i go here i go)
As i, stand as a pharoah and beat up on eliza
Trick ends on my friends, cause puba's not a miser
Last longer than a duracell, or a energizer
I got a little older but a whole lot wiser
When it comes to shootin ？ i'm a damn good shooter
Mc grand puba should be worshipped like a buddha
I boogies to the rhythm, kicks all the flavortism
Damn i gets busy, though makin rhyme i gets bizm
Always help another meaning sister or a brother
Just a little tip i picked up, from my mother
Smooth as ali baba once i week i see the barber
So honey pucker up cause i'm a damn good slobber
Mr. exquisite, dressed in silk, bally's made of lizard
So honey, what is it？ (what is it？)
I rock a rhyme at a wedding, next tour i'm probably heading
You wanna beat like this？ check the stack of otis redding
I'm hurtin like a blister, confusin like twister
Not a only child, four brothers and one sister
Not a rinky-dinky never snackin on a twinkie
When it comes to flexin i can bend like a slinkie
So here comes the champ, to civilize a tramp
When brothers try to play me, that's when the pub' gets amped
So smile - here comes the picture - click!
A humble type brother so don't play me as a vic'
I can relate to the good times, the cosby's on the sometimes
Go ？ on a sunday then it's back at work on monday
Take my gear to the cleaners, buy pants or a beamer
Then i'm out, bangin crackheads, i can do without
(definitely, why not puba？ why why why？) cause it's ragtime
＊ ad libs to outro ＊
5.To The Right
Yeah we're gonna swing this one to the right
Wanna give a shout to my man pos k
My man big daddy, he's cool
Now rule mob
Check it out
Well honey here's a hickie, puba's not a quickie
When it comes to skins, god damn i'm picky
Who will be the princess to occupy the prince？
And if she's less than dope i hope the limo's got tints
Now honey, you see this may sound profound
But let me love you down
And if i'm uptown i'm back downtown
All the skins i've been in i gets no frowns
You see doo-doo mc's, really think they can outlast..
I smell gas
As a yung'un i was thefty, born as a lefty
The rhymes i drop, somethin more than hefty
Roll like a ranger, puba's no stranger
For those who try to diss me - uh-oh, danger
Used to drink the olde e, coolers, just be goldie
When i played soccer with the dreads that play goalie
Here steps the one that's capable, of slaughterin
For those who wanna bite get the catalogue, start orderin
Cause - puba's shit is on stock ock
I shape the wig like a woodblock
I like to dip dip dive, a benz i'm soon to drive
I guess you can call this my nine to five
I send my lust to scoop skins with my skin buster
Freak the mind and butt behind and i gots the georgia
But hang on for a sec!
You don't have to worry about the puba gettin wreck
Cause to me see it's more than likely
And if i flow too fast, let me, slow down slightly
Let's take a trip expenses paid money grip
Don't flake or flam, cause puba's not havin it
Derek x to the right
C'mon and clap your hands for zulu nation
C'mon and clap your hands for zulu
C'mon and clap your hands for zulu nation
C'mon and clap your hands for zulu
You see me rock a video and slam shit up on _feels so good_
There was no doubt about it, cause i knew that i would
Before i kick these lyrics that i rip and i rule with
This girl done tried to cram cause she was down with the old
school
She.. smacked me, attacked me, harassed me til i swung
But i made her see stars cause her bell rung
(see an uptown girl is much different than a downtown girl!)
No.. i'm.. not a wife beater
No.. i'm.. not a girl cheater
I nipped this problem in the bud
With my force from the rule and my man ron.. stud..
(word to life!)
So give a shout if you know what i'm talkin about
And if you don't then brother you're lost
I had a boss, traded it in for a horse
It died, i made glue, it's no loss
I'm the boss at my job cause i hire all workers
Tired of the sob story tear jerkers
Compassion, for fashion never seen in our slums
Never sold work, never handled no gems
So que sera sera as the fat lady sings
But when the bell toll is the song i sing
Taken up the flights, whether uptown or crown heights
I pound a bunch of you after lunch cause i do right
Appear from the rear with my clan, and i'm the cave bear
Rip up the street on my worldwide tear
So loudly my troops, and let's form three groups
Wreck time is here, so let's get paid on free loops
Allah jamar to the right
Peace god! (yo knowledge the god) peace god!
You're captivated by the science cause the lesson's mathematical
Jamar rockin the jam, is an emphatical
Y, equal, knowledge born
I go on, although clothes get torn
By weaker cypher men.. cause what came from my pen
Made 'em lust, now i must
Rush out the back door, in-to the alley
Girls in pursuit, enough to form a rally
I didn't wanna scuff up my brand new bally's
So i made a quick dip, like i was goin back to cali
Took the lear jet, don't fear yet
Comin on your earset!
So as i hit program, you know i'm gonna slam
Cause even in my name there's a funky live 'jam'
Don't eat spam or no types of ham
Polite to all women so i say, 'yes ma'am!'
Sniffin a gram ain't flam, it's kinda weak
Jamar i keep you open through the rhymes i speak
Not down with a frat, no i ain't no greek
_a message from a blackman_ is what you seek!
6.Dance To My Ministry
See it's a positive force which guides my course
It ain't little bo peep, who's sheep little lost
It's the tribe, the god tribe of shabazz
First on the planet earth, but definite to be the last
If allah stands, she'll pass
Students enroll, while jamar teach class
Seminar i give, is for you to live
Not try to keep your mind captive
I break shackles, tear down tabernacles
Any problem in sight, jamar tackles
Bones crackles as i start to break
The body of the snake that's fake!
Unto my people, lies and deceit
Through trickery, but, hickory dickory
Dock, time's run out on the clock
The shepherd is here to protect the flock
With my staff i walk through the wilderness
Build on math, and destroy all the villainous criminals
Perpetratin constant subliminal signs to brainwash the minds
Of the unknowin, kept church goin
It's time to shine light, that's why i'm provin and showin
That the age has come to be concious
Not unconcious, cause in your subconcious mind
You find i speak the truth, from the dj booth
Straight to the youth, of the inner city, and the outskirts
Some may disagree, but yo hey, the truth hurts
Lord jamar, and i'll advance in the industry
I'm makin sure you can dance to my ministry
Now dance!
..
Aiyyo come, into my laboratory
I'ma take you on a tour..
An ankh is the key and the key is knowledge
Which unlocks my lab's door..
Kemet lets you enter, heat generates from the center
Lord jamar's an inventor
Production of black facts, put on to a black wax
I got a lot to say, set in stacks
To the right is where i keep my fuel
The qu'ran and 120 lessons
Am i the nicest？ count your 12 jewels
Word is bond, cause the gods keep testin
Why the test？ cause i'm 'fessin this duty of the civilized
From the dumb you bring forth the wise
So they can open their eyes to their being
And finally realize it's just the all-eye seeing
Black man supreme, knowledge machine
The alpha and omega, the arm-a-leg-a-leg-a-arm-a-head
And like jam these facts will spread
Over the thoughts of the white bread
Cause we've been misled for the longest
Time to rise up and gather our strongest
Brothers and sister, mrs. and misters
He rose and she rose, we'll take em from the zero
With raw funk, to thee and show em, how it ought to be
Cause it's passively, hell i fought for thee
Culture of my ancestry
And made it so you can dance to my ministry
So dance!
..
Aiyyo i wanna peace to the father allah and justice
I wanna say peace to all the gods and earths
And all the positive people of the universe
I wanna say peace to the god sincere
The god supreme, lakim shabazz
And the god jahwell from vernon
I wanna say peace to my nubian brothers
Maxwell, derek x, and alamo
Wanna say peace to my physicals, tony d
And lil' terrance
I wanna say peace to my good brother q-tip
From a tribe called quest, de la soul
And last but not least i wanna say peace
To the grandfather bambaataa of the mighty zulu nation
And i'm out y'all
Knowledge knowledge
7.Drop The Bomb
Peace my nubian brothers.. ('peace!')
Aiyyo knowledge this we came here to do one thing
And this is what we gonna do
We gonna drop the bomb ('drop the bomb!')
We gonna drop the bomb ('drop the bomb!')
We gonna drop the bomb ('drop the bomb!')
We come to drop the bomb ('drop the bomb!')
('drop the bomb!'), ('drop the bomb!')
('drop the bomb!'), ('drop the bomb!')
('drop the bomb!'), ('drop the bomb!')
Cause that's what we come to do
('drop the bomb!'), ('drop the bomb!')
Well i, build like a mason, facin the east
Brought west, to the belly of the beast
Pro-test, because this land ain't just
I seek equality and freedom is a must
Now if understand is understood well that's good
On equal planes we can bring forth gain
Rise the dead, from the graves of slaves
Fly the head, of the men in the caves
Try instead, to unify with our own plan
Why do we fear, the devil now that he's a grown man
Cause he bought you, taught you how to eat the wrong food
But now it's time for fasting
Life everlasting, offer thy i-self
Lord and master and all things in my circumfrence
Lord jamar makes a difference
I have no tolerance for black ignorance
I keep striving, driving cause i'm driven
By the course of allah, the true and living
Cream of the planet earth god of the universe
The first soul, black like coal
That's how old, there's no set birth record
The devil couldn't check it even if he wants to check it
The nubians wreck it, all will respect it
So i think we'll go ahead with knowledge knowledge
'drop it!' -- flavor flav
('drop the bomb!'), ('drop the bomb!')
＊ dj alamo cuts n scratches 'drop it!' ＊
('drop the bomb!'), ('drop the bomb!')
What i provide will collide with devilish ways of thinking
Erasing false facts that started, with abe lincoln
Being great, used his weight, and freed the slaves
But did he free us？
Take a look around
At the black man, see us
Illiteracy rules, they showin cartoons in school
They're way understaffed, and i don't understand the math
Now the way the system works the black man can get the purchase
Drop the family, it neutralizes many
Like wards of the state, doin one to ten in ？dan amora？
The welfare system can create a black horror
Now some people need the money but others, they can manage
By doin this they take away the cats who're disadvantaged
And the long list grows, more dependancy bodes
This creates a cycle but a cipher unequal
This is the wrong circle that contains the black people
Now the way devil got us is the way the devil want it
He try to hold us back and he overly floss it
This ain't even his land the indians was here first
The savagery displayed made the red man disperse
I'm out to squash the whitewashed brainwashed line of thought
I got a million books and a school in the fort
In the rule, with three great teachers
Thoughts to seal made it clear is also a great feature
So beware devil man the days of ？ is almost over
The army's on the range, you think it's kind of strange
Nubians is in the picture, armageddon's gonna hit ya
'drop it!' -- flavor flav

Well here i go from the tippy so those who wanna flow
Let's go, steppin in stride as i move with pride
Blind deaf and dumb the god haji's here to guide
Follow me now children
For wisdom, i always seem to give a coniption
Unlike a pimp, i'm more like an egyptian
Straight to the kingdom is where i bring them
And i school em, now rule is where i rule em
He allah, god islam, now act
But let me slow down cause eighty-fives can't get with that
It's haji, helpful to another god in need
(word is bond) true indeed
The devil is the one who dare not to knight us
Brought forth the plan on how to divide us
Jamaicans, christians eatin bacon, when i greet my brothers
I say, 'asalaam alaikum!'
So i, strive to my duty for the better of the black man
Everywhere you look the black man is on the map and
Here comes a nubian to give a hand and feed a land
When i drop my bomb it's headin straight for the colored man
Known as asiatic confrontation causes static
Might i add, i sincerely love allah's mathematic
So let's move on, the mental of the black man has been taught
I feel it's my justice cypher bond to keep on
I come to reach one
Each one teach one, so here i come to the drum
Pull it back on time, pull it back! ＊ alamo rewinds ＊
Cause see the purpose of me comin
Is to give a third eye to the blind
For years we fought, the blind's been taught, the chains in
thought
But this time, black man we're takin no shorts
Can't be used as a tool, nor as a slave
Here comes the god to send the devil right back to his cave
So uncle tom just be alarmed cause it's time to
('drop the bomb!'), ('drop the bomb!')
＊ dj alamo cuts n scratches 'drop it!' ＊
('drop the bomb!'), ('drop the bomb!')
＊ dj alamo cuts n scratches 'drop it!' ＊
('drop the bomb!'), ('drop the bomb!')
＊ dj alamo cuts n scratches 'drop it!' to the end ＊
8.Wake Up
The attribute haji helper to another god in need
He allah god islam
As i proceed to civilize the uncivilized
Word to wisdom from the groove to the wise
I guess i'm like the verbalizer for the fact i'm moving
blackwards
This asiatic black man is a dog spelled backwards
The maker, the owner, the cream of the planet earth
Father of civilization, god of the universe
Manifesting thought with my infinite styles
Making sure this travels only 23 million miles
The other six i set the crucifix
Cause the heart of the problem is this：
Preacher got my aunt to put money in the pan
For the rest of the week now i'm eating out of soup cans
He has a home, drives a caddy through town
Has my old earth believing that he's coming from the ground
(jesus)
Slain were those who fought for what was right
Slayed are those who fell victim to the bite
Of drugs, controlled substances contained in a vial
Set up by the devil as he looks and he smiles
Good at the game of tricknology
But i have knowledge of myself you're not fooling me
You see, the answer to me is black unity
Unification to help our bad situation
I wrote this on the day of wisdom power
All being born to myself
I won't diss the next brother to be paid that's not my trade
It's just the planet is designed by the colored man
Now our babies are born to think this is the way of us (way of
us)
That's the way the devil wants it so it is no fuss (it is no
fuss)
It's just that sad old song self-destruction
To stop our reproduction
And put our wisdom before us (murderer)
That makes it wisdom knowledge (murderer)
So we need knowledge wisdom to bring forth the understanding
(murderer)
Culture freedom (murderer)
Power refinement (murderer)
Equality god build destroy born za cipher (muderer)
(can a devil fool a muslim？)
No, not nowaday bro
(do you mean to say the devil fooled us 400 years ago？)
Lack of self or traitors mating interpretations (？？)
Saying did we receive more gold for our labor in this nation
Did we receive more gold？
Nah-cipher
It's time to drop the bomb and make the devil pay the piper
True indeed god true indeed hajj (lack of self) x2
True indeed god true indeed
Wake up wake up wake up (come on)
Wake up wake up wake up (i want you to listen to me)
Wake up wake up wake up (come on now)
Wake up wake up wake up (bust it)
The solution： knowledge of self to better ourself
Cause i know myself that we can live much better than this
Nothing's changed, it's just another sequel
The devil's still causing trouble amongst the righteous people
Drugs in our community (that ain't right)
Can't even get a job (that ain't right)
Poisoning our babies (that ain't right)
Lying who is god (that ain't right)
Now here's some food for thought
Many fought for the sport
And the black man still comes up short
It's time to motiviate, build and elevate
Blind deaf and dumb we've got to change their mindstate
So i dip dip dive-a
Civilize a 85er
Gotta let him know the devil's a conniver
This is the plan from the brotherman
From the motherland now it's time to take a stand
I keep to striving to do my duty to awaken
To the universal family i say a salaam alakum
(reggae chatter)
Yeah
Now i've gotta give a shout to my brand nubian brothers
Lord jamar, god allah
Derrick x is on the flex
Alamo is good to go
Sincere, the god is in here
Move on black man move on
We gotta move on black man move on x3
Yeah
Now i gotta give a shout out to the sd 50's
Putting this in effect
I'm gonna say like this before i motivate
Please educate allah's children with equality
9.Step To The Rear
Here we go...
('okay everybody...') ('step up to this')
('sing my song') ('step up to this')
('sing my song') ('step up to this')
('sing my song') ('step up to this')
Yo stud, bust it...
Step to the rear, grand pu is on arrival.
Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called survival.
Runnin' round town givin' all the girls puba snacks,
I wouldn't try to scale my style, you just might catch a
cardiac.
Figured the way to get paid is to grab the mic; rehearse, ya
know.
Smooth as jermaine, so honey don't take it personal.
There's no need to try to diss the swinger,
Baby, all you get is two snaps up and the finger.
The bob-a-loo bad boy, a threat to the paranoid,
You try to step to this？ it's void!
A new hit from the grand man, with nights like the sandman,
Gain for awake in case i gotta stomp a head out.
Busted is a trick that's not up my sleeve,
It's possessed with finesse, and it works when i breathe.
Paid in the shade with an a, that's the grade,
With the papes that i made from this trade.
So get hip to the grip, you know where to slide the chips
If you wanna cash in on the wins.
Grand puba and i love to hit skins...
('and you know what？')
('i've got a song to sing') ('oh bay-bay!')
('i've got a song to sing') ('here we go')
('i've got a song to sing') ('oh bay-bay!')
('i've got a song to sing')...follow me now.
('okay everybody') 6x
Grand puba, the higher mystic ruler, keep a 40 in the cooler.
She don't know me, money grip, you better school 'er.
Before i have to play her is a foul way,
And catch a quick short stay at the holiday.
Now forecast as i won't be playin' soccer with the dreads.
Ballin's my hobby, doin' wonders in the bed.
From full-size, to king-size, to queen-size, to high-rise,
Even bunk beds, i know how to work the leg.
If pu ain't the answer, then you must be sick as cancer,
Smooth romancer, let it ring, i'll probably answer.
So come take a dip with your ＊private dancer＊.
Nasty, naughty, over 6' call me shorty.
But i'm looooong...i'm like stretch armstrong,
I go, on and on and on and on.
Never in a scandal and i'm never caught schemin'.
Knew pu was dope ever since i was semen.
Swimmin' in my daddy's big nuts...
But now i'm scoopin' girls with the big ole butts.
Arise to respond for the max-well,
Ask well, hell, it don't even matter.
Puba ain't game for the shit chit-chatter.
'puba's in town, oh shit, let's scatter.'
You can hide that ass, but it just don't matter.
The 90s is here, pu is on a mash-out.
Huns that i've done always seem to pass out.
But hon wake that ass up, this ain't the place to crash out.
You try to play me？ i have to throw that ass out.
Foes and hoes, good riddance.
Cuz when pu comes out, there'll be no skiddin'.
I'll slide upstairs and see chuck at the chop shop,
Tell 'im fade the size, let a wolf on top. (？)
Reel and reel and soul to soul.
Honey, heel to heel and toe to toe.
It really doesn't make a diff, i'm not the type to riff,
I might smoke a spliff, but i won't sniff.
And ya don't stop...
('okay everybody')...now i'm-a end it like this：
I'm like superfly snuka, know how to hook a hooker,
Caught her on looker, know where i took her,
To the short stay, around my way,
And like monie say, 'it was the perfect way'.
I caught a verse from the christian, and it goes 'praise the
lord'
Skins lined up on a wharf for when i'm bored.
From na-ru, i'm in the right mood,
And if you like the way that this flows, well that's cool.
See this is no illusion, the style is too confusin'.
If you try to bite, then you're cruisin' for a bruisin'.
Back up, sonny, and let me make my money,
Then i'm straight, i got a date at 8.
So see you brothers later, time to motivate.
Yeah, now bust it...
I'd like to give a shout to my brand nubian brothers, lord
jamar, god allah,
Derrick x on the flex, and alamo. and we gonna give a shout to
the sd50s who
Pumped this. and i'm-a say, yo, peace...
10.Slow Down
Slow down (repeat 3x)
Verse one：derrick x (sadat x)
Hey baby your hips is getting big
Now you're getting thin you don't care about your wig
Now woolie willie got a pair of my sneakers
I wonder where he got 'em cause i hid 'em behind my speakers
The object of your affection is the tree-top connection
Or basically you love to smoke the wools
The crackheads attract man they come up to my door
I don't smoke gems so what they knocking for
Kids love to feel on you, feds got a seal on you
Street time is limited to days
On your crack card you're getting only a's and c's for come back
Damn it's a shame you're the mighty queen of vowels
With a wide-eyed look and a rotten-toothed smile
Used to walk with a swagger
Now you simply stagger
From one spot on to the next spot on to the next spot on to the
next
Bitch get a job
From me you won't rob
Cause i'll smack you with a hose filled with sand
Now give that to the crack man
You was fly once now you're losing all your fronts
Started out light on the tip of woolie blunts
Now you gained a stripe, graduated to the pipe
Took a long pull...hype
Yeah, head crack head crack
You smoked up that stack and admitted you was fat
(hey yo x, wasn't that your girl？)
Yeah i had to drop her
Cause she caught on the plastic and i just couldn't stop her
Slow down x5
What i am is what i am x2
Verse two： lord jamar
I knew this girl named tropicana
She's always juicing
Producing cash for my sexual task
She loves men that trick like halloween and treat
You ain't paid then your grade is incomplete
You've got to flash dollars, to prove her
And when you do she sucks it up like a hoover
Taking all your papes like inhalation of ace
Her nasal passages is filled with money, and it's massive
(what i am is what i am)
Well, what you are is a stunt, man
You're on a hunt and your plan is to take all you can
From my man and scram
I've seen your kind before you're not original
Just a sick mixed up individual
Giving up the crotch for a fresh gold watch
Marking off the goods you got going up another notch
Your ways and actions are like those of a savage
If the price is right, then anyone can ravage
Even monty hall can have himself a ball if his assets are in
order
What's really scary is you're somebody's daughter
So don't come around trying to make a profit
At the expense of another man, stop it
Cause you see you're a freak show of the town
Know what i think you ought to do is
Slow down x7
What i am is what i am x2
Verse three： grand puba
As the jewels jingle from the hot young and single little stunt
A forty and a blunt, that's all she really wants
But she'll spend your papes and she'll use up all your plastic
And if you swing an ep you'd better wear a prophylactic
Cause things are getting drastic
Slide up in the wrong one you'll end up in a casket
(slow down)
Sister, there's no need in speeding
She was doing lays before she started bleeding
What makes a bitch want to act in this fashion？
Pulled more stunts than my man action jackson
A real gold winner just like bruce jenner
Lay the bitch on the bed and then you run right in her
Puba makes no mistakes
She said 'rock me tonight (for old time's sake)'
Picture that
(slow down)
You little hooker
Honey got a problem with the bends
Meaning she likes to bend over, and then she spreads the skins
The hoe is just hoe and that's without no controversy
She can make the bedsprings sing a song of mercy
Come on toots you can take a thousand douche
Scrub that ass and i'll still pass
(slow down)
You're living foul
(slow down x2)
Now see it ain't no reason for you to be out here skeezin'
Cause it ain't the season
So if you want to live foul and be a dumb diddy dumb dumb bitch
Well go ahead
You're living foul
I'd like to give a special shout to my dj alamo on the help out
Right by my side
Slow down (repeat 12x)
11.Try To Do Me
Chorus：singers (repeat all 2x)
'you tried to do me' (3x) 'i am not the one' (1x)
Tried to do me god
But see baby, i am not the one baby
You tried to do me
Yeah.. yo check this out
Verse one： grand puba maxwell
Why you wanna live so foul？ you know
Sweatin, one for some, is not my style
I'm the type to wine and dine and the candlelight
Cause just one night could be just so right
Your first riff, is that i'm never home
And you're, sick and tired of bein alone
But baby, i got work to do
And ain't no-one gonna stop me from bein pu'
I buy you rings and things and all that good stuff
But you still beefin that that is not enough
Let's sit down and discuss it
Baby bust it..
You check my beeper when i'm still sleepin
When i get out of cars you're out your window peepin
I think the best thing for you and me
Is just to play like john lennon and _let it be_
You tried to do me
Chorus： singers (repeat all 2x)
Yeah.. but you see baby
I am not the one
You tried to do me, yeah
Ay bust it
Verse two： grand puba maxwell
I would sing the song called just be my lady
But you're the type of girl who likes to act real shady
And rain on the brain like a hurricane
Throw rhythm on a dame, cause i know the game
You see, i'm just a rapper and nothing's free so..
'why are you watchin me？' ＊like rockwell＊
Well honey can i get some privacy？ ..
You say cool, then you try to flip
But you forgot to put the gucci bag upon your hip
You knew me, you blew me, others would pursue me
The question that i ask is why you, tryin to do me？
Make like a ship and just float on (float on)
I'm not the type of brother that you can just gig on
I know the time honey, there it is plain to see
You're tryin to do me
Chorus： singers (repeat all 2x)
You tried to do me
Yeah, but you see baby
I am not the one
I ain't havin it
Yeah
Yeah..
Interlude： grand puba maxwell
Now see baby, i don't know why you tryin to flip and alla that
Cause i'm out here tryin to do my thing
And get these papes in today's society, youknowhati'msayin？
I'm tryin to make things a little better
But if you wanna make matters worse
Let me say this first
There's no need for you to try to do me
Chorus： singers (repeat all 2x)
You tried to do me
You tried to do me babe
But you see
I am not the one
You tried to do me
Yeah
And now check it, i'ma end it like this
Verse three： grand puba maxwell
Now.. good times come, honey good times go
I think this is somethin that you really oughta know
The name of the game is to maintain
Cause when you lose someone you love, then you feel pain
It's up to you to decide if the love was worth losin
To me you're not the everyday, tina tammy susan
Why can't you, understand？
Instead of tryin to run the flim-flam on the grand
Baby, do whatever is clever
Cause we can make this last.. forever and ever
With joys there's pain
But don't you worry about the puba maxwell, cause i can stand
the rain
Shoo-be-doo, this is what you oughta do
Think of all the things that i just told you
Remember all the times when i used to hold you and say
We can last through eternity
But don't ever try to do me
Yeah.. yeah..
12.Who Can Get Busy Like This Man...
'we are ready ladies and gentlemen..'
'it's star time!' (grand puba)
'million dollar man!'
Once again as we swing this ep' with the grand puba
If i seen you kick it once, i seen you slam it a thousand times
You gots ta flow with this one g
Grand puba comin-in-a-rhyme dancehall style, see？
Hah, you thought i couldn't do dat
Dem say, who can busy like dis man？
And if dem search the whole land dem not find a man
Puba is the one to make dem fly girls have a ba-all
Wha-oh-eee!
See other-dem mc's, dem not scare me
De virgins say me can't wait to hear me
You want it done right, den give grand pu' a ca-all
Not let me get busy on this one..
See brothers be wishin that's why they're eager to listen
Tryin to do me but see they're no competition
Grand puba's the type, to get hype, to any funky sound
Never the type, to give a damn about a hand-me-down
Papers of rhymes of mine are stacked high like lumber
If hon wants to swing ep', she takes my beeper number
The skills go back to the days of flippin coins
Pasttime readin books by my man donald goines
But i'm not a pimp, and i don't walk with a limp
You can say i know the game, cause i know how to treat a dame
So knock three times on my ceiling if you got the feeling
Grand puba's good for sexual healing
Lord have mercy this is lovely, i'll say splendid
Puba's on the stage, and i'm glad you all attended
Rhymin to the beat, is the way i make my money
I'll buy, sweets for my sweets and, no sugar for my honey
Brothers get, played for their papes
And if a stunts tried to play me, i'll hang her like some drapes
Puba's the man, and you can't run the flam
So take it elsewhere, my dear
See others try so hard to be this
Competition tries so hard to see this
But i let em know, i'm not the one
So see the next one, wha-oh-eee! whoa!
I'll slap five to a brother who ain't about no jive
I'll smack ten to a friend who hooked me off with skins
See i'm the type of brother and i like to have fun
She said, '69,' i said, '68, and i owe you 1'
The style i kick, you will remember
And when i step to other rappers, you better yell timber
Cause they're fallin, de-meene-meene-mee
They're fallin..
Faaaalse, claat! will ya drop now？
You know you're sizzlin! pull it down selector!
Easy now, easy now! start rappin now!
Pu..ba.. i love you so
Never never never gonna let you go
Once, i, get my hands on you
Pu..ba.. i love you so
Never never never gonna let you go
I hope you feel the same way too
Hey c'mon honey you know i feel the same way
But i'ma do this my way
And i'ma do like this baby
See it doesn't really matter if the place is big or small
Cause mc grand puba come fi rhyme dancehall!
I'm flippin the wigs of those who gig
I never renege on girls who dig
The super supreme, one of the team of three
See i'm one of the best with most finesse
I really suggest you do not mess
Or try to test the very best at this
Do you really wanna know what's next？ i gotcha gotcha gotcha
Grand puba is one of the best.. i rocked ya rocked ya rocked ya
Here i step, with the rep that's kept
In a orderly fashion, sucker mc's i'm mashin
It's only one more verse i think that really need to be said
It's that i'm bad, bad.. inna wicked in bed
La la la la-la la, whoa la la la la-la, la la
La la la la-la la it's the grand pu-ba
Now hit me now selector!
Who can busy like dis man？
And if dem search the whole land dem not find a man
Puba is the one to make dem fly girls have a ba-all
Wha-oh-eee!
See other-dem mc's, dem not scare me
De virgins say me can't wait to hear me
If you want it done right, then give grand pu' a ca-all
Not let me get busy like this..
See my man vance wright he get a 'nuff respect'
Sincere, pos k get a 'nuff respect'
To my man ron stud he get a 'nuff respect'
And my cousin dr. who he get a 'nuff respect'
To my cousin jeff jeff he get a 'nuff respect'
And all the brothers and sisters across the universe
They get a 'nuff respect'
I'd like to say peace to my brand nubian brothers
Lord jamar, derek x, and alamo with the a and l.g.
13.Grand Puba, Positive And L.g.
'hit me!'
Puba's kickin flavor, and i brought somebody with me
Suave blase, you know dapper
Because we make ends, and then we spread the skins
And my mic's gonna bloom like a flower in june
As smooth as the head on a fed named kojak
And i'll tell you like ralph kramden told alice,
'bang zoom!'
Go puba, go positive (4x)
To my adversaries, i'm not ordinary
Not the godfather, or the tooth fairy
Not jack spade or engelbert humperdink
Listen to this rhyme and tell us what you think
One two three grand puba's on the count
Rhyming gets me papes in very large amount
Brother you're wrong, if you think crime pays
Don't like gays, and take vacations off of holidays
Practice safe sex to prevent strange diseases
Wear my hat, on one night skeezers
I roll dice, but don't bet on the horses
Punks take losses and i don't reveal my sources
So umm, take the fifth if you're planning to riff
The rhymes spread like jif to make your loose knot stiff
Kick up your feet if you're feeling kinda queasy..
Relax.. (ha ha) take it easy!
You're in good hands, positive is a survivor
I make rhymes of anything, i'm like mcgyver
If i were a computer rap would be my program
Since i'm a righteous man, i don't eat ham
I wish more people was alive like me
See the vocab is lovely, girls be thinkin of me
Other rappers try to be me, competition can't see me
So hey, whaddya say, i got the flow y'all
If you don't know the time then you better check the seiko
Or timex, i suplex, get biz on the co-ssacks
Put em in a line then i ask, 'who's next？'
Grand puba, guaranteed to make a big hit
Doin much damage on this two man skit
Trying to hold me back won't harm me
And when the gear gets too small it's for the salvation army
So mami, or mida, a way i say, 'no one's sweeter!'
(now that's funky!)
You see the style i kick is rugged, i shine like a nugget
Cause in-tense mean you dig it, past tense mean you dug it!
So dance, to a light tune, my lit-tle doll
Da-nah-nah, da-nah-nah, da-nah-nah, dah
Rock me wit, vi-bra-tion
Give me a deep med-i-ta-tion
There is none betta than grand pu-ba
Baby be get it all togetha
You see the second time around i hope the label don't flake
And if they do i go to drake and say, 'give me a break'
Like toyota say, i say (oh what a feeling!)
I bust the foots of lionel richie
I caught him dancing on my ceiling!
Pass me the mic, cause i wants to blitz
I'm the best thing that came since grits
The prince of rap, lookin for cinderella
If you see her.. why don't you tell her
I got the shoe, in the car out back
And if she makes the fit, she's in, like, that
And as a matter of fact
I'm not an actor, but the main factor
Pinpoint and his rhymes is like a protractor
I'm intricated, complicated
Definitely musically related
Rhymes so fly never been outdated
Gots to be fly by the way i state it
Now of myself, i say i'm a big fan
Got more rhymes, than words by the letterman
Positive k, you can say he's low key
You might know my name but now look you don't know me
I can be nice and flip like the son of sam
Nobody knows exactly how i am
I'm the next and everybody knows it
Open tours this year, next year i'ma close it
I've got the skills that pays the bills, now
Here's a quote from stephanie mills
Don't put a rush on me cause my tempo's slow
And if i don't tell you, then how would you know？
14.Brand Nubian
Verse one：lord jamar
Brand nubian function
A junction of three
Collaboration in a style that's like funk
To slap palms, swing arms
Tap a soul
Cause no rock rolls down our hill
Yo black it's kinda ill
We don't roll no rocks we just fill
Heads with knowledge, pure foundation
Showing and proving through the manifestation
Of our name which is 'brand nu'
Brand nubian and we've come to
Make the people aware that black means first
4000 years and we're made to feel cursed
But now it's our time to rule
Student of the old, teacher of the new school
My inspiration is the five percent nation
As i cram, education was born
Like a thorn in your side i have sworn
Never to divide with brand nubian
Verse two： derrick x (sadat x)
You have to stand as a black man
Brand nubian
From the sudan plus i never ran
I'm from africa, the central region
There i grew and formed a legion of my force
See me riding on a jet black horse at any cost
Brand nubians will rise up and be the boss and show it
All fairness if you're black and show awareness
You can rally 'round the flag
Stand tall, or don't stand at all
You're with the three and the three won't sag to the floor
Besides picture that i'm painting i can draw
See me work nine to five on my easel
My physical is strong and my mind is cock diesel
Brand nubian function in conjunction with the three
Verse 3： grand puba
Brand nubian
Not on a bandwagon following a fad
Making use of the knowledge that we already had
Grand pu, here to send the mind into a frenzy
I bet i'll swing something this summer for the benzi
Seep into the mind the brain and activate the pelvis
Keeping the blind deaf dumb and blind is elvis
Meaning old, so behold
(the black, the beautiful, the bold)
Now if this falls short i'll try harder
A wisdom to me is someone like assata
I'd like to say peace to bambaata
Tasa kuma(？), achmed, and kenyatta
Brothers that'll fight for the cause
And they live in the boundaries of the righteous laws
To put it exact dominant means black
But some have a hard time trying to swallow that
Now we have some that are fake
Wearing blue eyes and green eyes, come on gimme a break
Brand nubian here to wake up
Take off the makeup cause all it'll do is cake up
Just be real that's how i feel
Brand nubian
Verse four
Nubian
(dx) a native or inhabitant of nubia
Nubian
(lj) a member of one of a group of african tribes that formed a
poweful
Empire between egypt and ethiopia
From the 6th to 14th century nubian
(gp) any of several languages spoken in the central and northern
sudan
And that's why we call ourselves brand nubian
(dx) as the midnight oil burns, our minds turn
Make a mistake and be fake and you'll burn
We're here to teach so you'd might as well learn
That the tree has the knowledge for what you yearn
Brand nubian
15.Wake Up(Reprise In The Sunshine)
Peace to the god
Peace allah
Aiyyo there go that brother grand puba
I heard that brother got knowledge of self
Yo true indeed brother
Yo let's have that brother come over and add on to the cipher
'sunshine! .. everybody loves the sunshine!'
'folks get down in the sunshine!'
'everybody loves the sunshine!'
'my life, my life, my life, my life'
Aiyyo knowledge this
The attribute haji helper to another god
In need he allah god islam
As i proceed to civilize the uncivilized
Word of wisdom to the groove from the wise (speak on it god)
I guess i'm like the verbalizer for the fact i'm movin
blackwards
This asiatic black man is a dog spelled backwards
The maker, the owner, the cream of the planet earth
Father of civilization, god of the universe
Manifestin thought with my infinite styles
Making sure this travels, twenty-three million miles
The other six i set the crucifix
Because the heart of the problem is this.. (speak on it god)
Preacher got my old earth puttin money in the pan
For the rest of the week now i'm eatin out a soup can
He has a home, drives his caddy through town
Has my old earth believin that he's comin from the ground
(jesus)
Slain are those who fought for what was right
Slayed are those who fell victim to the bite
A drug controlled substance, contained in a vial
Set up by the devil as he looks and he smiles
Good at the game of tricknology
But i have knowledge of myself you're not foolin me
You see, the answer to me is black unity
Unification, to help our bad situation
I wrote this on a day of wisdom power
All bein born to myself (god!)
I won't diss the next brother to be paid that's not my trade
It's just the plan that is designed by the colored man
Now our babies are born to think this is the way of us (way of
us)
That's the way the devil wants it so it is no fuss (it is no
fuss)
It's just that sad old song self-destruction
To stop our reproduction
There put our wisdom before us (murderrahh!)
That makes it wisdom knowledge (murderrahh!)
But we need knowledge wisdom
To bring forth the understanding (murderrahh!)
Culture freedom (murderrahh!)
Power refinement (murderrahh!)
Equality god build destroy born's our cipher (mudererrahh!)
(can a devil fool a muslim？) no, not nowadays bro
(do you mean to say the devil fooled us 400 years ago？)
Whitey put self, portrayed in many interpretations
Sayin that we'd receive more gold for our labor in his nation
(did we receive more gold？) god, now cypher
It's time to drop the bomb and make the devil pay the piper
(true indeed god true indeed god) what？ ＊3x＊
(true indeed god true indeed..)
'sunshine! .. ' wake up, wake up, wake up!
'everybody loves the sunshine! .. ' wake up, wake up, wake up!
'folks get down in the sunshine! ..' wake up, wake up, wake up!
'everybody loves the sunshine!'
'my life, my life, my life, my life'
The solution -- knowledge of self to better ourself
Cause i know myself, that we can live much better than this
Nothing's changed, it's just another sequel
The devil's still causin trouble amongst the righteous people
Drugs in our community (that ain't right)
Can't even get a job (that ain't right)
Poisonin our babies (that ain't right)
Lyin who is god (that ain't right)
Well here's some food for thought, many fought for the sport
And the black man still comes up short？
It's time to motiviate, build and elevate
Blind deaf and dumb we've gotta change their mindstate
So i dip dip diver, civilize a 85er
Gotta let him know the devil's a conniver
This is the plan from the brotherman
From the motherland now it's time to take a stand
I keep strivin to do my duty to awake em
To the universal family i say asalaam alaikum
Yeah..
Now i'ma do like this
Nuff respects to the brother jazzy jay, nuff respect
Nuff respects, to my brand nubian brothers
Bust it
Lord jamar, god allah
Derek x is on the flex
Alamo is good to go
Sincere, the god is in here
So move on black man, move on
We gotta move on black man, move on
Move on black man, move on
We gotta move on black man, move on
Now before i motivate i'ma just say like this
Please.. educate allah's children, with equality
Move on black man, move on
You gotta move on black man, move on ＊2x＊
16.Dedication
C'mon alamo, let's swing it
Before i get this wreck, i like to take a sec
To say this jam here is dedicated to some of my favorites
I like to dedicate this to pe, i like to dedicate this to bdp
I like to dedicate this to the x-clan, i like to dedicate this
to heavy d
Kiss my mother bye 'fore i hit the road of stardom
Put away my rhymes, make sure the pimps got em
Just cuz i'm a rapper, doesn't mean i'm not a fan
My favorite, rakim, big daddy, kool g and
Ll who always keep the girls jingling
C'mon honey dip, you can jingle on my (yo, cool chill)
When it comes to female rappers, bust it, here's a few
Mc lyte, queen latifah, monie love, and linque
What more could i say, i wouldn't be here today
If the old school didn't pave the way
Hats off and i'll never forget
Cuz if it wasn't for them, there wouldn't be no rap shit
Back to the track of the new
For short you can call me mc grand pu
I made this splendid cuz that's what i intended
Don't try to break it cuz you just can't bend it
I got a bad habit, see i live hitting skinz
Well if hitting skinz is wrong then forgive me for my sins
C'mon ak, i'm straighter than 6 o'clock
So what you oughta do is flow wit the flock
My sign is the fish, yo, also loving on my disc
It's cool, i got dismiss cuz i hated liverwurst
But here i am, a rapper, my best friend pos the dapper
Tony x who i grew up wit in a jet so
Shake the motion if you got the notion
Puba rubs off on ya just like lotion
I'm not conceited, girls say that i'm attractive
They describe my love and that's being hyperactive
I'm just a brother who likes to romance alot
Look at me as the black sir lancelot
That's right, your knight in shining armor
If i went to college, then my major would be drama
Or theatrics is more like my tactics
If you want the proof then lay down on the mattress
Swing wit the swinger, i can be a singer
Alamo controls the beat wit just one finger
If you wanna swing to this, you better take precaution
Alamo, when you hook it, make sure there's no distortion
Here comes the two, better known as the babuloo bad boys
Who makes much noise
Two express, no local stops
It's time to get fat and collect our props
Kamikaze like japs, you roll a 7 in craps
And if you think that this is booty, yo, it ain't no half
Met lisa simms, she bought a gear from vin's
The knucklehead got her pregnant, now she got twins
The type of brother to stand out, always keep my hand out
To help another brother, what is taught by my mother
Good to the drip drop and i won't flip flop
Straight to the tip top in this here hip-hop
My style varies and my vocal carries
To el segundo where i seen q-tip
Sipping on khaluda wit this honey dip
So. c'mon baby, spend the money, don't save it
Cuz this jam here i dedicate to some of my favorites
