Lyrics Brand Nubian

Brand Nubian

Alladat

Ha, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yo, straight from the wilds of The Bronx, it's Buckwild,

Ya know I'm sayin'?

And that kid Sadat X born king, doin' my thing

Know I'm sayin'? I let ya know how it is in my lifestyle everyday

Lately yo, I been walkin' tightropes

It's an adventure everyday as I walk down the block

Quiet bald head is like a bad motherfucker

All charged up from Madison Ave.

I'm up on the stage if you read the front page

Give me the ol' school mic with a cord

I'll stand on the table, give a fuck about a label

Now, we all can't brawl, we all can't brawl

It'll be your downfall when you're goin' like this

Is it the cash or the hash from my stash that compels you?

Gas kids throw me but my crew bring me back

They stay on my back so I don't act like all a dat

Now all these niggas carry on like they think they all a dat

They think they all a dat, they think they all a dat

Now all these niggas carry on when they think they all a dat

They think they all a dat, they think they all a dat

Late one night, fifty-fifth outpost

Chicken head watchin' to see who she can catch

She got a man, I can tell 'cause the action in her eyes

Ain't nervous, a young sassy thing

She call me a playa, standin' on the corner with her whole dime crew

I'm ridin' down the block with her girlfriend

In the next nigga's car, lookin' like a star

Shades, blackness, packed his whole damn frame

Ya got to be down to starts about the booty

'Cause Sonny Lamb packs the wham

It's all good, yeah it's all good

See it attracts kids that are sweater

A nigga like me'll be the first to forget

So now she all mad, bringin' drama to the crib

Go ahead, chicken head, wit the funk

You get played like trash if you act like you'd always have and you

Always will

Chicken heads is only good for a thrill

Yo yo, yo they think they all a dat, they think they all a dat

All these bitches carry on when they think they all a dat

They think they all a dat, they think they all a dat

Now my cheques jam and I waited all damn week

And if I flip em the bad guy, you wonder why

When the corner officers and nobody can call me back

And everybody claims to know nothin'

And these is the peoples that's down wit me

Supposedly, lays on my side, yeah right

They let a nigga die in the night if you let em

You can get wild, flip, go grab the mask

But it damn sure slow-up the cash 'cause I know

Ya be a menace to society, still waitin' for the dough

The thinkin' man is the one with the plan

Plant his seeds first then be ready to burst

It's like that, huh? My name is X from the hot blocks of Harlem

Take it personally when you try to stop my stardom

Use to be mild, find myself gettin' wild

Got to slow down for my girl and my child

'Cause I love life and I gots ta live it

And every time I get on stage I'ma move somethin'

And you can never say the X didn't hit ya

Ayo, I put it on ya, but first I warn ya

This ain't no average skit, this is a hit

More than you hit, better than your best shit

Better than your man's shit, better than his cousin's shit

Better than your whole block, buck once and then ya come wit that nons

Aight, hey Buck, when you bring what you bring to the game and when I bring

What I bring to the game, it's dangerous that I can't even call it.

But we gonna end it off like this,

Ya know I'm sayin'?

On some Bronx town shit, check it out

The big X has spoken, courtesy of Buck

A Bronx hoe-down similar to the showdown

Won't you place a bet on ya man

You know my style and you know where I stand

I'ma leave you on wit the real for right now

Peace to Brand Nubian, Now Rule and Buckwild

But right now, peep the master of the head nod

Hit New York harder and smarter, thieves attack, now stay back

Tainted styles don't pass the grade

A lotta kids are slidin', just ridin' on the wave

A lotta kids are slidin', just ridin' on the wave

A lotta kids are slidin', just ridin' on the wave

Yo, all these niggas think they hard when they think they all a dat

They think they all a dat, they think they all a dat

All these bitches act like sluts when they think they all a dat

They think they all a dat, they think they all a dat

Now all these fraud niggas are bitches when they think they all a dat

They think they all a dat, they think they all a dat

Fuck dem niggas out there who think they all a dat

They think they all a dat, they thunk they all a dat

Fuck dem niggas, fuck dem bitches

Fuck dem fraud ass, motherfuckers

Fake ass niggas

Ha!
