Foundation

Brand Nubian

Intro: Grand Puba



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



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 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 niggas getting they heat



from under they seat, I wonder when the guns'll deplete



Chorus: Grand Puba



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



Verse Two: Sadat X



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 NY



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
