Lyrics

[Grand Puba] PEACE my Nubian brothers.. ("Peace!") Aiyyo knowledge this, we came here to do one thing And this is what we gonna do We gonna drop the bomb ("Drop the bomb!") We gonna drop the bomb ("Drop the bomb!") We gonna drop the bomb ("Drop the bomb!") We come to drop the bomb ("Drop the bomb!") [P] We gonna drop the bomb on the Yakub crew ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") [J] We gonna drop the bomb on the Cave-Man crew ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") [X] We gonna drop the bomb on the Ignorance crew ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") [P] We gonna drop the bomb 'Cause that's what we come to do ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") [Verse 1: Lord Jamar] Well, I build like a mason, facin' the East And brought West, to the belly of the beast Pro-test, because this land ain't just I seek equality and freedom as a must Now, if understand is understood, well, that's good On equal planes we can bring forth change Rise the dead from the graves of slaves Fly the head of the men in the caves Try instead to unify with our own plan Why do we fear the devil now that he's a grown man? 'Cause he bought you, taught you how to eat the wrong food But now it's time for fastin' Life everlastin', offer thy I-self Lord and master And all things in my circumference Lord Jamar makes a difference I have no tolerance for black ignorance I keep strivin', drivin' 'cause I'm driven By the course of Allah, the true and livin' Cream of the planet earth, God of the universe The first soul, black like coal Ask how old? There's no said birth record The devil couldn't check it even if he wants to check it The Nubians record, all will respect it So I think we'll go ahead with Knowledge Knowledge "Drop it!" -- Flavor Flav ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") * DJ Alamo cuts n scratches "Drop it!" * ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") [Verse 2: Sadat X] What I provide will collide with devilish ways of thinkin' Erasin' false facts that started with Abe Lincoln Bein' great, used his weight and freed the slaves But did he free us? Take a look around at the black man, see us Illiteracy rules, they showin' cartoons in school They're way understaffed, and I don't understand the math Now, the way the system works The black man can get the purchase Drop the family, it neutralizes many Like wards of the state, doin' one-to-ten in Dannemora The welfare system can create a black horror Now some people need the money but others, they can manage By doin' this, they take away the cash for disadvantaged And the long list grows, more dependency bodes This creates a cycle but a cipher unequal This is the wrong circle that contains the black people Now the way devil got us is the way the devil want it He try to hold us back and he overly floss it This ain't even his land, the Indians was here first The savagery displayed made the red-man disperse I'm out to squash the whitewashed brainwashed line of thought I got a million books and a school in the fort in the Rule With three great teachers God Sincere made it clear, is also a great feature So beware, devil man, the days of purge is almost over The army's on the range, you think it's kind of strange Nubians is in the picture, Armageddon's gonna hit ya "Drop it!" -- Flavor Flav ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") * DJ Alamo cuts n scratches "Drop it!" * ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") * DJ Alamo cuts n scratches "Drop it!" * ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") * DJ Alamo cuts n scratches "Drop it!" * ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") [Verse 3: Grand Puba] So, here I go from the tippy, so those who wanna flow, let's go Steppin' in stride as I move with pride Blind, deaf and dumb, the God Haji's here to guide Follow me now, children For wisdom, I always seem to give a conniption Unlike a pimp, I'm more like an Egyptian Straight to the Kingdom is where I bring 'em And I school 'em, Now Rule is where I rule 'em He-Allah-God-Islam, now act But let me slow down 'cause Eighty-Fives can't get with that It's Hagi, Helpful to Another God In need (Word is bond) True indeed The devil is the one who dare not to unite us Brought forth the plan on how to divide us Jamaicans, Christians eatin' bacon When I greet my brothers, I say, "Asalaam alaikum!" So I strive to my duty for the better of the black man Everywhere you look, the black man is on the map and Here comes a Nubian to give a hand and feed a land When I drop my bomb, it's headin' straight for the colored man Known as Asiatic, confrontation causes static Might I add, I sincerely love Allah's mathematic So let's move on, the mental of the black man has been torn I feel it's my Justice-Cypher-Born to keep on I come to reach one, each one teach one So here I come to the drum Pull it back one time, pull it back! (*Alamo rewinds*) 'Cause see, the purpose of me comin' Is to give a third eye to the blind For years, we fought The blind's been taught to change the thought But this time, black man, we're takin' no shorts Can't be used as a tool, nor as a slave Here comes the God to send the devil right back to his cave So Uncle Tom, just be alarmed 'cause it's time to... ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") * DJ Alamo cuts n scratches "Drop it!" * ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") * DJ Alamo cuts n scratches "Drop it!" * ("Drop the bomb!"), ("Drop the bomb!") * DJ Alamo cuts n scratches "Drop it!" to the end *
