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 $$# in a grip, flags is half-mast

Somebody must've passed, we're makin your $$# 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 you are

I'll rape the tape, drop along in interstate

wit weight, wipe the slate and, mob the gate


And by fakin I'll avoid the court date, no legal
aid

Everything's paid, while courts are tyraid


If the money ain't made, talkin millions

but spendin penny's and gettin cheap shoes from
Kenny's


Chorus

Verse Three: Lord Jamar, Sadat X

Now let'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


I'm thru with buyin wild gear

Just somethin I can wear, somethin fly when I'm
there

Well now we're here to take the gold and the cash
'fore the bill fold


I told their $$# to chill and they're still cold

Frozen cos they'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)
