Ragtime

Brand Nubian

[GPM] Hit her, I mean let's hit this

[??1] That's not straight

[??2] Do it God, ya bwoy let's do it now seen?

Let's pull it bwoy



[Grand Puba Maxwell]

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



[Derek X/Sadat X]

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!



[Grand Puba Maxwell]

Ah yeah it's ragged, let's do it!

Aight now we got Lord J

Lord J, yo c'mon now
