Lyrics Brand Nubian

Brand Nubian

Grand Puba, Positive And L.G.

[Grand Puba]

Two times for the drummer 'fore I start it I say

"Hit me!"

Puba's kickin' flavor, and I brought somebody with me

[Positive K]

Positive, the gentlemen, the rapper

Suave, blase; you know dapper

[Grand Puba]

See this is not a song about friends

Because we make ends, and then we spread the skins

[Positive K]

This song becomes a well known tune

And my mic's gonna bloom like a flower in June

[Grand Puba]

We kick much flavor, and you know that

As smooth as the head on a Fed named Kojak

[Positive K] Grip the mic till my hand get calloused

And I'll tell you like Ralph Kramden told Alice

"Bang, zoom!"

[Grand Puba]

It's up, up and away

[Positive K]

Grand Puba

[Grand Puba]

And Positive K

[Positive K]

Lyrics real sweet like candy

[Grand Puba]

It's just like a condom

[Positive K and Grand Puba]

We keep one handy!

Go Puba, go Positive

Go Puba, go Positive

Go Puba, go Positive

Go Puba, go Positive

[Positive K]

To my adversaries: I'm not ordinary

Not the Godfather, or the Tooth Fairy

Not Jack Spade or Engelbert Humperdink

Listen to this rhyme, and tell us what you think

[Grand Puba]

One, two, three, Grand Puba's on the count

Rhyming gets me papes in very large amount

Brother, you're wrong if you think crime pays

Don't like gays, and take vacations off of holidays

[Positive K]

Practice safe sex to prevent strange diseases

Wear my hat, on one night skeezers

I roll dice, but don't bet on the horses

Punks take losses, and I don't reveal my sources

[Grand Puba]

So, um, take the fifth if you're planning to riff

The rhymes spread like Jiff to make your loose knot stiff

Kick up your feet if you're feeling kinda queasy

Relax, (ha ha) take it easy!

[Positive K]

You're in good hands; Positive is a survivor

I make rhymes of anything; I'm like McGuyver

If I were a computer, rap would be my program

Since I'm a righteous man, I don't eat ham

I wish more people was alive like me

[Grand Puba]

But Positive

[Positive K]

What up, Max?

[Grand Puba]

See, the vocab is lovely; girls be thinkin' of me

Other rappers try to be me, competition can't see me

So, hey, whaddaya say? I got the flow, y'all

If you don't know the time, then you better check the Seiko

Or Timex; I suplex, get biz on the cossacks

Put 'em in a line then I ask, "Who's next?"

Grand Puba, guaranteed to make a big hit

Doin' much damage on this two-man skit

Trying to hold me back won't harm me

And when the gear gets too small, it's for the Salvation Army

So mommy, or mida, away I say, "No one's sweeter!"

(Now, that's funky!)

You see, the style I kick is rugged; I shine like a nugget

Present tense mean you dig it, past tense mean you dug it!

So dance to a light tune, my little doll

Da-nah-nah, da-nah-nah, da-nah-nah, dah

Rock me wit' vibration

Give me a deep meditation

There is none betta than Grand Puba

Baby be get it all togetha

You see the second time around

I hope the label don't flake

And if they do, I go to Drake and say, "Give me a break."

Like Toyota say, I say (oh, what a feeling!)

I bust the foots of Lionel Richie

I caught him dancing on my ceiling!

[Positive K]

Pass me the mic 'cause I wants to blitz

I'm the best thing that came since grits

The Prince of Rap, lookin' for Cinderella

If you see her, why don't you tell her

I got the shoe in the car out back?

And if she makes the fit, she's in like that

And as a matter of fact

I'm not an actor, but the main factor

Pinpoint and his rhymes is like a protractor

I'm intricated, complicated

Definitely musically related

Rhymes so fly, never been outdated

Gots to be fly by the way I state it

Now, of myself, I say I'm a big fan

Got more rhymes than words by the Letterman

Positive K, you can say he's low key

You might know my name, but, now, look you don't know me

I can be nice and flip like the Son of Sam

Nobody knows exactly how I am

I'm the next, and everybody knows it

Open tours this year; next year I'm a close it

I've got the skills that pays the bills, now

Here's a quote from Stephanie Mills

Don't put a rush on me 'cause my tempo's slow

And if I don't tell you, then how would you know?
