Word Is Bond

Brand Nubian

Intro/Chorus: (x2)




"Word is bond, we got it goin on



"C'mon throw ya hands in the air



Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn



in the air, in the air



It's like that y'all, ya don't stop



C'mon throw ya hands in the air



Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot"



in the air, in the air"




Verse One: Lord Jamar, Sadat X




Whenever ya hear the piece of the track, peace to the black



peeps on the streets with the beats in the jeeps



Comin back in '94 with the raw that's against the law



It's the G-O-D, my delivery is C-O-D



Word is bond and bond is life



We got it goin on tonight, don't nobody wanna fight



they wanna see a tight show where some brothers might go for broke



Utilisin the effects of the smoke




More cash to smash to make the blunt last



Fill it with hash til it pass, don't even ask in the Flat'



Put ass in a grip, flags is half-mast



Somebody must've passed, we're makin your ass drip into the stands



Fold my cash at last, my task to teach the class



and receive somethin more than brass is a blast



Make a brother work hard, long and fast......




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
