The Return
Brand Nubian

Grand Puba, Lord Jamar, Sadat X, Alamo

Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called survival

I'm only bringin' you the real

Grand Puba, Lord Jamar, Sadat X, Alamo

Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called 'Survival'

Have a stout if you know what I'm talkin' about


Three sixty degrees I stand in the square, right over left

Preparin' to fight to the death, you could never stifle this

Not even the triflest, nigga on Earth, could ever fuck

With what I spit in a verse, we always hit where it hurts


Underground so we dig in the dirt

Always gotta put a nigga to work, is how it seems

It's kinda hard to hear the silent screams

Through the violent things, turn a deaf ear


Your body might get left there, you better step to the rear

We put it down with Premier, rock mad army gear

You ain't heard us all together in several years

It's like a federal crime, you had to settle for rhymes


That lacked substance, we got that in abundance

Pro-black and you know that

We stay Fat like Joe Crack, Lord Jamar

Come too far, to ever try and go back


Grand Puba, Lord Jamar, Sadat X, Alamo

Raised in the ghetto singin songs called survival

I'm only bringin' you the real

Grand Puba, Lord Jamar, Sadat X, Alamo

Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called 'Survival'

Have a stout if you know what I'm talkin' about


I'm on 110 and Lennox with these Africans overseein'

Our physical being and how we doin' it

It only take one bad nigga to ruin' it, pursuin' it

And actin' like it can't happen put you in the chair


To the bookings we go on the twenty-four hour flow

I run through obstacles, take off my shackles

Proper backing with the bangers and the rhyme singers

I run with dem and others rock NY in colors


With the straight brim and the chick who work in the gym


The great Datty in the C-Town Express

Whoever step to this is gonna have to face stress

Whoever step to this better be at they best


Look at me close, I'm the perfect host you standin' too close

So back up, you should never try to act up

The Wild Cowboy still got the style boy

One of a kind I throw a helluva line


Grand Puba, Lord Jamar, Sadat X, Alamo

Raised in the ghetto singin songs called survival

I'm only bringin' you the real

Grand Puba, Lord Jamar, Sadat X, Alamo

Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called 'Survival'

Have a stout if you know what I'm talkin' about


Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, my man Primo hit me off with the plural

Zig Zag Zig like Zorro now we makin' more bread than Stella Doro

Unsung hero bring more heat than DeNiro

Never known for spittin' trash shit on the mic, that shit's a zero


Rhyme flow stay off the meter, tight like two-seaters

Make y'all get nuts like a cell block filled with dick beaters

Make my approach then shorty's bagged like coach

Cut on the lights if she ain't a dime then watch me run like a roach


Y'all know my shit be hot they call me Dr. Doo-a-lot

Now I got seeds so I'm stingy I keep strings on my Benji's

So tree up, nigga we up, about to re-up

Y'all know the deal, grab this paper, disappear like Copperfield


I need a meal, time to eats with a flow

Drop the beat, press it up, and hit the street, dinner time's complete

My Nubian ways'll get ass that open for days

Make more chips than Frito Lays when I spit the phrase that pays


Grand Puba, Lord Jamar, Sadat X, Alamo

Raised in the ghetto singin songs called survival

I'm only bringin' you the real

Grand Puba, Lord Jamar, Sadat X, Alamo

Raised in the ghetto singin' songs called 'Survival'

Have a stout if you know what I'm talkin' about
