[Sadat X] 
Yeah, check it out, I'ma flow on this one 
Yeah I'ma run with this for the ninety-two season 
Yo check it out 
I'ma give you somethin cat, this is what you need 
You need a coach and I'm a damn good coach 
Got the right approach, plus my pop had wins 
Seed trickled down, six two and brown 
When _Slow Down_ came out, at first it was MILD hit 
A minute or two later, brothers on some WILD shit 
Listen up, capture how I spree 
Is it you, or is it me? 
Made a mad verse, from first, stole second 
Took the third and home it was out 
That's what I'm about, that Nubian swing 
Familiar ring, cash register ring 
Pay the brothers, Jack the Ripper work hard 
Then I'll be out, check it out, yo Peace God 
Brand Nubian rock the set! (8X) 
[Lord Jamar] 
Yeah 
F*ck it up 
Nineteen-ninety-two, uh! 
Like this y'all 
Well now this is for your clubs and your old school pubs 
where niggaz get drunk and give in to the funk 
Speakin of funk, this here be stink 
The brothers up North can smell it in the clink 
Well put down the Right Guard cause you got the right God 
Matter of fact, we're comin right and exact 
We got the brainiac style like Miles Davis 
Save us, in the files of the shit that hit 
It's time to make a run at five hundred yard dash 
Five hundred G's sold and the shit went gold 
Now was that bold, to predict while I kick it? 
Brand Nubian fights, against the weak and the wicked 
I got the baldhead dread Sadat and Sincere 
Oh yes, the God is in here 
_To the Rear_ makin shit sound clear 
Plus collect the dough at the end of the show 
Everybody know Brand Nubian kick that shit on stage 
Cause it fits in a rage 
Lord Jamar turn the page cause this rhyme is overflowin 
And bring in the funky horn 
Brand Nubian rock the set! (8X) 
[Sadat X] 
To really know this flavor you must understand the method 
I might come up with a style, throw it down and say it's tired 
Write a next one, smokin a blunt on the rooftop 
And runnin with the sneakers or aiyyo hightops 
Thanks to the dread for the roots green 
Whole body is amped I must contain or appear 
I might throw the peace at kids, go to rest and wake up goin 
For days I get set off, I ain't got NO way of knowin 
How could you fool a ruler? You still smokin wooler? 
The first round pick, why'd The Knicks trade Rod Strick? 
That man is nice! 
You make acts to make tracks, I'm tired of frontin to em 
Gonna step to em, cause they whole shit is dead 
I'd rather tell em now, instead of fuckin with they head 
Tired of frontin, it's like that huh 
[Lord Jamar] 
True indeed God why'knahmsayin, ain't no use frontin 
Word to mother 
Well don't look at things from the surface 
A book without understanding is worthless 
120 gave me plenty to chew on 
Planted a seed and it grew (now that's true) 
On to the road where we got shit sewed 
when crackin shells, and gettin to the ? 
I rest in the Rule but don't take it for a joke 
I got an automatic tool.. don't make it have to smoke 
Cause yo I'll bust off, In God We Trust, I'm not soft 
When I'm droppin it, I'm just the opposite 
Now that's hard.. 
Study lesson about Farad and Elijah 
Won't surprise you to chill with God.. 
of the Universe, so when U.N.I.Verse 
we gain a better understanding 
Which is supreme, risin to the top like my Nubian team 
and we don't stop! 
Brand Nubian rock the set! (repeat to before fade)
