Chorus (x2) Verse Two: Lord Jamar, Sadat X Dreadlock, I send a rock from my block Clock wax like crack, samplin from old stacks That's where the soul's at, in this whole rap universe We kick the funky tunes with a burst Sun, moon and star, *?Sunbumba?* Jamar To get me in the flow, now I'm read' to go Set to show, everybody in the party that we're nice wit out sippin on Bacardi and ice The southpaw, ask your ma, I be the shinin star No matter who you are, no matter who you are I'll rape the tape, drop along in interstate wit weight, wipe the slate and, mob the gate And by fakin I'll avoid the court date, no legal aid Everything's paid, while courts are tyraid If the money ain't made, talkin millions but spendin penny's and gettin cheap shoes from Kenny's Chorus Verse Three: Lord Jamar, Sadat X Now let's take time out to say peace to the GODs (PEACE) Bust how I release cos this beat is hard We be the squad from raw-taught to rule Take a thought to the top now I drop the jewel I push the Cadillac DeVille and still we real I drive a garbage truck and not give a ........ I need to earn a buck four-a-year I'm thru with buyin wild gear Just somethin I can wear, somethin fly when I'm there Well now we're here to take the gold and the cash 'fore the bill fold I told their a** to chill and they're still cold Frozen cos they're not amongst the chosen one Sun shines like a beacon, similar to Howard Speake As I receive the mic for the last time, I clear up your past crime All felonies can go, as long as you know Brand Nubian will stand, without the use of a band We always work with a plan
