Straight Off Da Head

Brand Nubian

Yeah, yeah, fo' your mind



Hmmmright, let's see what we can come up with



Record after record, yeaaah, rhyme after rhyme check it




[Sadat X]



In the studio, on the first try



On the verse high only birds fly



You get out the pack like that y'all



Straight off da head (what?), let niggas know I use to wear the pro



Get three strikes yo, I used to have to court awarder



but now I got a daughter and she gotta grow



And I let her know that that ain't the way to go



My name is X, yo I'm like a puzzle when I get released



Just like I had my muzzle off, check it out yo



I can never be sold



You don't stop (and you don't quit) and you don't stop



(We're makin hit after hit after hit y'all) Ya don't stop




[Lord Jamar]



Comin straight off da head one time it's the dread Lord J



Come around the way, would you say?



One time with my crew, manifessin



Just like that, now who you think you tessin? Uhh



Brand Nubian, my crew be in effect, uhh



Get erect with the blunts and ya check



right in, one time, goin to the bank, I'm



cashin, and you know I be stashin



in the mattress, one time with the phatness



beats, I be blowin up, showin up



at shows, checkin all the hoes



Just like that and defeatin all my foes



Go for jack




[Sadat X]



Yo my name is X, yo my name is X and I was born in



the BX, I went to New Rochelle



Know my man Mark the Spark who live in the Vernon



And my man be they rhythm, dwell in Bronxdale, in the home of the



boss, goin down the block or go to forest



Keep on goin past Morris High School



Then I go down the street to Courtland Ave.



Vietnam, the male goes in Jackson



Over the bridge, on
