Word is Bond

Lyrics

[Hook] C'mon, word is bond, we got it goin' on (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn (In the air, in the air) It's like that, y'all, ya don't stop (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot (In the air, in the air) C'mon, word is bond, we got it goin' on (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn (In the air, in the air) It's like that, y'all, ya don't stop (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot (In the air, in the air) [Verse 1: Lord Jamar] Well, let me get a 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 Utilizin' the effects of the smoke [Verse 2: Sadat X] I pull cash to smash and make the blunt last Fill it with hash, two and pass, don't even ask In a flash, put that ass in the grass Flag 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' mo' than brass and some glass Make a brother work hard, long and fast [Hook] C'mon, word is bond, we got it goin' on (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn (In the air, in the air) It's like that, y'all, ya don't stop (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot (In the air, in the air) C'mon, word is bond, we got it goin' on (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn (In the air, in the air) It's like that, y'all, ya don't stop (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot (In the air, in the air) [Verse 3: Lord Jamar] Dreadlock! I said I rock for 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 verse Sun, moon and star, some boom for Jamar To get me in the flow, now I'm read' to go Set to show everybody in the party that we nice Without sippin' on Bacardi and ice [Verse 4: Sadat X] This style flash! Jamar'll be the shinin' star No matter who you are, no matter who you are I'll rape the tape, travel on the interstate with weight Wipe the slate and mob the gate And by fate, I'll avoid the court date, no legal aid Everythin' is paid, why cause a tirade? If the money ain't made, talkin' millions But spendin' pennies and gettin' cheap shoes from Kenny's [Hook] C'mon, word is bond, we got it goin' on (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn (In the air, in the air) It's like that, y'all, ya don't stop (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot (In the air, in the air) [Bridge: Lord Jamar] Now, let's take time out to say peace to the Gods (Peace!) Bust how I release 'cause this beat is hard We be the squad Farad taught to rule Take a thought to the top, now I drop the jewel [Verse 5: Sadat X] I push the Cadillac Seville and still be real I drive a garbage truck and not give a.. I need to earn a buck fo' the year I'm through with buyin' wild gear Just somethin' I can wear, somethin' fly when I appear [Verse 6: Lord Jamar] Well, now we're here to take the gold and the cash for the bill fold I told they ass to chill, and they still cold Frozen 'cause they not amongst the chosen one Sun shines like a beacon, similar to how I'm speakin' [Verse 7: Sadat X] 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 [Hook] C'mon, word is bond, we got it goin' on (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn (In the air, in the air) It's like that, y'all, ya don't stop (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot (In the air, in the air) C'mon, word is bond, we got it goin' on (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock to the break of dawn (In the air, in the air) It's like that, y'all, ya don't stop (C'mon, throw ya hands in the air, in the air) Brand Nubian'll rock the sure shot (In the air, in the air)
