Foundation Lyrics - Brand Nubian

Brand Nubian baby, here to flip it again 

And you know it don't stop until the party ends 

So get your hands up high, if you feel me reply 

'Cos you know these brothers here we keep it extra tight 

Look, listen and observe, it took precision to connect 

The words of dialect within a rhythm you never heard 

Forbidden fruit, take a bite, you could lose your life 

Like how they crucified Christ Musa's hair was white 

Lord Jamar, Sadat X and Puba's here tonight 

We got next on the court, I don't know what you thought 

This flow can't be bought, only sold in exchange 

For platinum ang gold, you've been told, open up the manifold 

Only to reveal scrolls and scrolls 

Premeditated to be dedicated to lost souls 

Properly educated, never sloppily operated 

Playing the beats for all my people incarcerated 

We stay in the streets and find new ways to eat 

Crime wave, I remember wetting my feet 

In my blind days, now these niggas getting they heat 

From under they seat, I wonder when the guns'll deplete 

Brand Nubian brothers here to flip it again 

And you know we don't stop until your party ends 

So get your hands up high, if you feel me reply 

'Cos you know these brothers here, we keep it extra tight 

The Foundation, as we hitcha with a Brand Nu creation 

New millennium we don't mess around 

Do the knowledge as we blaze the situation, so just feel me now 

I'm in a rush, who got the keys to my truck? 

Who am I? I just might be a spy 

I drop a tear at the sight of the blue NY 

I'm a threat just like Garnette 

Pick a player out my set like Marbury 

Serve me sherry with a cherry 

I always eat what you think 

I ain't got no shoes on my feet, I'm from down the street, huh 

Now cats ride around New York with the slick hot rods 

Some late model usually pushing full throttle 

Hanging illegal U's and staying with the gleaming shoes 

Riding one deep but back to back to back 

Fuck a buzz, it's gonna happen just because 

Sure I was with her was, but I don't know what she does 

Big dimes hit me every time like it's a crime my prime will steadily climb 

Yeah, I can't release nothing to y'all before it's time 

Brand Nubian brothers here to flip it again 

And you know we don't stop until your party ends 

So get your hands up high, if you feel me reply 

'Cos you know these brothers here, we keep it extra tight 

The Foundation, as we hitcha with a Brand Nu creation 

New millennium we don't mess around 

Do the knowledge as we blaze the situation, so just feel me now 

Now my verbal illustration graphic more than playstation 

Microphone occupation operation save the nation 

Black crusader, persuader, educator 

Knowledge detonator none greater 

Leave haters stuck like a project elevator 

Always jammin' it airtight like a laminate 

You can't contaminate it 

Go getters we be superb like Justin's catfish fritters 

Now I got 2000 flows, only 4 less than all of my hoes 

(Hey) 

Oops, I mean my bro's but I'm just keeping y'all on your toes 

Excitement for your enlightenment, spitting novels, getting bravos 

Tear it up like El Nino, keeping it hotter than jalapenos 

Microphone holder doing more damage than rolling boulders 

Rhyme style should've fooled ya 

Knocked your head right off your shoulders 

See my intention, black on black prevention, break the tension 

Teach the seeds, tell them what they need and then collect my pension 

Brand Nubian, baby, born more flows than a test tube valve 

Your radio ain't really on if Brand Nubian ain't on your dial 

Yeah, as we do it like this 

2000, Brand Nubian comin' atcha one time 

New millennium style
