Intro/chorus: (x2)
andquot;word is bond, we got it goin on
andquot;cand'mon throw ya hands in the air
Brand nubianand'll rock to the break of dawn
In the air, in the air
Itand's like that yand'all, ya donand't stop
Cand'mon throw ya hands in the air
Brand nubianand'll rock the sure shotandquot;
In the air, in the airandquot;
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 and'94 with the raw thatand's against the law
Itand's the g-o-d, my delivery is c-o-d
Word is bond and bond is life
We got it goin on tonight, donand'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, donand't even ask in the flatand'
Put ass in a grip, flags is half-mast
Somebody mustand've passed, weand'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
Thatand's where the souland'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 iand'm readand' to go
Set to show, everybody in the party that weand'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 you are
Iand'll rape the tape, drop along in interstate
Wit weight, wipe the slate and, mob the gate
And by fakin iand'll avoid the court date, no legal aid
Everythingand's paid, while courts are tyraid
If the money ainand't made, talkin millions
But spendin pennyand's and gettin cheap shoes from kennyand's
Chorus
Verse three: lord jamar, sadat x
Now letand's take time out to say peace to the gods (peace)
Bust how i release cos this beat is hard
We be the squad from raw-taught to rule
Take a thought to the top now i drop the jewel
I push the cadillac deville and still we real
I drive a garbage truck and not give a ........
I need to earn a buck four-a-year
Iand'm thru with buyin wild gear
Just somethin i can wear, somethin fly when iand'm there
Well now weand're here to take the gold and the cash and'fore the bill fold
I told their ass to chill and theyand're still cold
Frozen cos theyand're not amongst the chosen one
Sun shines like a beacon, similar to howard speake
As i receive the mic for the last time, i clear up your past crime
All felonies can go, as long as you know
Brand nubian will stand, without the use of a band
We always work with a plan
Chorus (x2)
