Verse one：Lord Jamar[00:00:20]

Brand Nubian function[00:00:24]

A junction of three[00:00:28]

Collaboration in a style that's like funk[00:00:29]

To slap palms swing arms[00:00:33]

Tap a soul[00:00:36]

Cause no rock rolls down our hill[00:00:38]

Yo black it's kinda ill[00:00:41]

We don't roll no rocks we just fill[00:00:44]

Heads with knowledge pure foundation[00:00:46]

Showing and proving through the manifestation[00:00:49]

Of our name which is Brand Nu[00:00:52]

Brand Nubian and we've come to[00:00:54]

Make the people aware that black means first[00:00:59]

4000 years and we're made to feel cursed[00:01:02]

But now it's our time to rule[00:01:05]

Student of the old teacher of the new school[00:01:07]

My inspiration is the five percent nation[00:01:09]

As I cram education was born[00:01:11]

Like a thorn in your side I have sworn[00:01:12]

Never to divide with Brand Nubian[00:01:14]

Verse Two：Derrick X[00:01:16]

Sadat X[00:01:18]

You have to stand as a black man[00:01:19]

Brand Nubian[00:01:22]

From the Sudan plus I never ran[00:01:23]

I'm from Africa the central region[00:01:25]

There I grew and formed a legion of my force[00:01:29]

See me riding on a jet black horse at any cost[00:01:32]

Brand Nubians will rise up and be the boss and show it[00:01:35]

All fairness if you're black and show awareness[00:01:39]

You can rally 'round the flag[00:01:41]

Stand tall or don't stand at all[00:01:42]

You're with the three and the three won't sag to the floor[00:01:45]

Besides picture that I'm painting I can draw[00:01:47]

See me work nine to five on my easel[00:01:50]

My physical is strong and my mind is cock diesel[00:01:54]

Brand Nubian function in conjunction with the three[00:01:57]

Verse 3：Grand Puba[00:02:00]

Brand Nubian[00:02:02]

Not on a bandwagon following a fad[00:02:03]

Making use of the knowledge that we already had[00:02:05]

Grand Pu here to send the mind into a frenzy[00:02:08]

I bet I'll swing something this summer for the benzi[00:02:10]

Seep into the mind the brain and activate the pelvis[00:02:13]

Keeping the blind deaf dumb and blind is Elvis[00:02:18]

Meaning old so behold[00:02:21]

The black the beautiful the bold[00:02:22]

Now if this falls short I'll try harder[00:02:24]

A wisdom to me is someone like Assata[00:02:26]

I'd like to say peace to Bambaata[00:02:28]

Tasa Kuma[00:02:30]

Achmed and Kenyatta[00:02:30]

Brothers that'll fight for the cause[00:02:32]

And they live in the boundaries of the righteous laws[00:02:34]

To put it exact dominant means black[00:02:36]

But some have a hard time trying to swallow that[00:02:39]

Now we have some that are fake[00:02:42]

Wearing blue eyes and green eyes come on gimme a break[00:02:44]

Brand Nubian here to wake up[00:02:47]

Take off the makeup cause all it'll do is cake up[00:02:50]

Just be real that's how I feel[00:02:52]

Brand Nubian[00:02:56]

Verse four[00:02:57]

Any of several languages spoken in the central and northern Sudan[00:03:10]

And that's why we call ourselves Brand Nubian[00:03:17]

DX[00:03:20]

As the midnight oil burns our minds turn[00:03:21]

Make a mistake and be fake and you'll burn[00:03:23]

We're here to teach so you'd might as well learn[00:03:26]

That the tree has the knowledge for what you yearn[00:03:31]

Brand Nubian[00:03:32]
