Foundation

Brand Nubian baby, here to flip it again

And you know it don't stop until the party ends

So get your hands up high, if you feel me reply

Cause you know these brothers here, we keep it extra tight

Look, listen and observe it took precision to connect

The words of dialect within a rhythm you never heard

Forbidden fruit, take a bite, you could lose your life

Like how they crucified Christ, Musa's hair was white

Lord Jamar, Sadat X and Puba's here tonight

We got next on the court, I don't know what you thought

This flow can't be bought, only sold in exchange

For platinum and gold, you've been told

Open up the manifold, only to reveal scrolls and scrolls

Premeditated to be dedicated to lost souls

Properly educated, never sloppily operated

Playing the beats for all my people incarcerated

We stay in the streets and find new ways to eat

Crime wave, I remember wetting my feet

In my blind days, now these cats is getting they heat

From under they seat, I wonder when the guns'll deplete

Brand Nubian brothers, here to flip it again

And you know we don't stop until your party ends

So get your hands up high, if you feel me reply

Cause you know these brothers here, we keep it extra tight

The foundation, as we hit you with a brand new creation

New millenium, we don't mess around

Do the knowledge as we blaze the situation

So just feel me now

I'm in a rush, who got the keys to my truck?

Who am I? I just might be a spy

I drop a tear at the sight, of the blue NY

I'm a threat just like Garnett

Pick a play out my set like Marbury

Serve me sherry with a cherry, always eat, what?

You think I ain't got no shoes on my feet?

I'm from down the street

Now catch a ride around New York with the slick hot rods

Some late model usually pushing full throttle

Hangin' illegal, usually staying with the gleaming shoes

Riding one deep, back to back to back

Forget a buzz, it's gon' happen just because
