Word is Bond

Word is bond, we got it goin' on
Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn
It's like that y'all, ya don't stop
Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot

Word is bond, we got it goin' on
Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn
It's like that y'all, ya don't stop
Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot

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 till it pass, don't even ask in the flat
Put ass in a grip, flags is half-mast
Somebody must've passed, we're makin' your ass 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

Word is bond, we got it goin' on
Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn
It's like that y'all, ya don't stop
Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot

Word is bond, we got it goin' on
Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn
It's like that y'all, ya don't stop
Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot

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

Word is bond, we got it goin' on
Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn
It's like that y'all, ya don't stop
Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot

Now let's take time out to say peace to the Gods
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 ass 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

Word is bond, we got it goin' on
Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn
It's like that y'all, ya don't stop
Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot

Word is bond, we got it goin' on
Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn
It's like that y'all, ya don't stop
Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot
