Step Into Da Cipher

Brand Nubian

featuring Serge, Maestro Manny, Snagglepuss




[Lord Jamar]



First up it's the nuts up, what's up



to the niggas from the projects



Prospect Park in Brooklyn, I'm lookin at another crime scene



Committed by the brothers on this rhyme team



Just freestylin in a cipher, I take the life of MCs



If you're wack we got the right to seize



He's black like Ultra, know your culture



Motherfuckers don't know so they won't grow



Lord Jamar show and prove the rules I kick



Makin niggas move, no matter how smooth it get



or how rigid, niggas still get it



I kill wicked motherfuckers with the rhymes that I structures



In my third eye, know you heard I



study math like a mathmatician



See half of y'all wishin you could sound like the GODs from the town



of the Rule, you ain't got the urge, bust it down Serge




[Serge]



You know I smoke it like the flame to the tip of that bud, we just twistin



from another dimension, did I mention



that funky, that's the only way we know how to get niggas



Rhymes belimminent like a partial scholarship



But my style's so heavy it make you lean when I drop



Leave you spinnin like the washin machine before it stop



Goin all out, have to seal these motherfuckers fate



On a mission from Cleveland, ridin it from outta state



So ready yourself because it's on full scale



I heard some put Jamar to bail down to New Rochelle



Now Rule, that's where we scheme and we plot



On the late night, blunted in the basement with Sadat



And we discussin your demise, know it's gonna come



sure as the sun's gonna rise, send me the drum



And Serge is buckin off a shot from the mental insight



Air tight, throw a worker from cradle to gravesite
