Nitty Gritty (remix) Lyrics - Kmd

This is a remix 

To what? 

It's a remix 

To what? 

It's a remix 

Let's get right down to 

The nitty gritty 

The nitty gritty 

The nitty gritty 

The nitty gritty 

The nitty gritty 

The nitty gritty 

Let's get right down 

To the nitty gritty 

Born again, a soul bend blends 

K.M.D. and Brand Nubian, friends 

X-tends to grip palm and causin' calm in 

His knowledge of self, so commence to bombin' 

As alarmin' as a beep from your beeper 

What you needed was a wake-up call to the sun, you sleeper 

You don't wants get woke by the wolf, does ya? 

Naaah, good guessin' 

Switch the pitch up, another session 

From the infamous God Squad 

You see, we's all peas in the same pod, God 

Odd after 7, my attribute is even 

My tolerance is gone and my word is bond 

You see the Nitwits knockin' 

Preach, "The Lord'll change your life around" 

I figure I just saw Jamar the other day uptown 

Give him a pound, it's no puzzle, they musta 

Been guzzlin' that 85 proof, ask Busta 

Question number one, how can you go wrong? 

K.M.D., can I sing this song? Sho' nuff 

The nitty gritty, do the nitty gritty 

Get on down and let's do the nitty gritty 

Busta Rhymes from the top of Chill City 

Flippin' on the rhythm, showin' you that I get busy 

Stand up for the right of the young and the witty 

Movin' inconspicuous like a baby kitty 

Moved to the island and I left the urban city 

Whylin' in the Island till I find a young bitty 

Baby doll, well, I never ever fall 

Hard, let the God Squad in the dancehall 

K.M.D., Brand Nubian 

Leaders of the New School always be chillin' 

Hold up, so I can get illy 

First to interfere here and I'm comin' back silly 

Now I feel the vibes of the choco in the Philly 

You know you can't fuck because we rippin' it, Smitty 

I know you love this song 

Won't you do that to break the dawn 

Onyx, God, tell me what is going on? 

What, what goes? As far as I know, see, bros 

Are havin' trouble knowin' who's friends and who's foes 

The worst Devil is a black Devil 

Because you come disguised as a wolf in sheep's clothes 

Like Preacher Porkchop who keeps the church clappin' 

Mo' comes the money, mo' money got him yappin' 

He sucks your bucks, so his pockets fatten 

He's got some guts, he pimp-struts up to Staten 

Island, I be chillin' in Long Island, Long Beach 

Hippin' Gods to they culture with the strong speech 

I build with the Nubians I chill with 

I fill with my zig-zag-zig 

I never lived big, I never lived large, I never lived fat 

The Devil man in this land, he won't allow that 

So brother man, I don't wanna bust you 

But if you don't know the Devil, gee, I can't trust you 

Knowmsayin', man? 

You just can't brothers 

Who don't know what time it is 

True indeed, true indeed, yo 

So Lord J 

Yo, that's true indeed 

And I know the time of the day 

Lord Jamar, goes like this 

Life's hardships, stones are placed and one must face 

Trips, falls and spills to kills and 'cause mishaps 

These are some of his traps but I got a jewel, that needs 

No gift wrap, so just receive, believe when shown the light 

The Devil gets left, the Gods gotta get right to the source 

Of our loss, stop wearin' the cross, do for self, kill that 

"Yes, sir, boss," and when you do, from the other you won't beg 

Can't you see my brother, you're the Arma-Legga-Leg 

Arm, supreme head, and instead of relyin', why don't you 

Start tryin'? You say try is to fail, I say try is an attempt 

'Cause when you stop tryin' that makes victory exempt, from your 

Cipher, the life you lead is not hype, the blackman was not born 

To be a gutter snipe or an alley cat, you should be steppin' 

To the rally fat, not just with dough, but with the knowledge 

You know, so, get up and go, get yourself a book of life 

Instead of living life like a hooker 

Get some knowledge of self and do for self 

Yo man, brothers ain't tryin' to check it out 

You know what I'm sayin'? 

Crack, crack them skulls, man 

I see some so crazy deaths 

Men, from head to toe they're full of lead 

I flipped a brick, nah, I build a fort instead 

So I taught children 'fore I flipped 

'Cause in actuality my man's mentality was stripped 

I dipped back to the roots, I am a king with ranks 

Cream in the coffee, clay thing, no thanks 

Why play the role like all silly teens? 

I'm the black bowling ball knockin' pins to smithereens 

Each teach in every town, relate that 

The God Squad is like Homey the Clown, we don't play that 

Coon, jiggaboo, Uncle Toms in the mix 

Give me a, in reverse, Psalms 82 and 6 

"All Gods, and children of the Most High" 

Cave-guys still fry in the sun, don't deny 

I got a third eye sight vibe that don't lie 

I am the lion, goodnight, defyin' evil's the bull's eye 

It's like this and my word is bond 

This is a modern type of style, look at what I did 

A Devil still can't build a pyramid 

I dug a tunnel to Asia, wrote a speech with a laser 

Rush your brain with a new genetic strain 

The God in God's clothing, and the Devil's loathing 

Got enemies, but I really don't give a damn 

I smacked a man 'cause he tried to serve a plate of ham 

Disguised in a patty, my uncle Trevor's natty dread 

He got a [Incomprehensible], used to be a foot fet' 

The city [Incomprehensible] and I forgot to mention 

That I'm the word buff, yes, enough is enough 

Zig-zag-zig, watch the blackman get big and burst 

The blackman is first 

I drive a black Hearse and I bury all the Devils 

With K.M.D. I can raise up my levels 

The nitty gritty 

The nitty gritty 

The nitty gritty 

The nitty gritty 

The nitty gritty and my 

The nitty gritty and my 

The nitty gritty 

And my word is bond 

The nitty gritty 

The nitty gritty and my 

The nitty gritty 

The nitty gritty and my 

The nitty gritty 

The nitty gritty and my 

The nitty gritty 

And my word is bond
