All for One (Explicit LP Version) - Brand Nubian

I hit a beat and swing a note

As if my name was david ruffin

Quick to toast an mc just like an english muffin

Dont worry about a thing

Cause the pubas never bluffin

I gets headaches from the wack

So then I take a bufferin and I max

I wait until the opportune time and then I tax

But should I max

Now they say sinning is for sinners

So I guess I'm not a sinner

Beginnings is for beginners

So I guess I'm no beginner

This is how I spark it

With money in my pocket

When it comes to having pressure

I gets hard as a rocket

Mc grand pu coming through all the residue

The songs remain classics

Dating back to the babalu

My boys I call em hot

The phones all of them jock

And I can think of many episodes

I swung in lincoln park

No I'm not a phony and I got a tenderoni

Love the way she is not too fat

Not too bony

Don't drink sanka

Won't sink like a tanker

Knock the boots of a skirt in casablanca and

I thank her

Some rappers stink

Like englebert humperdink

Better yet dick caveat

I got a bad habit

Similar to the girl on she's gotta have it

I think with the brain and

I whip behind the zipper

I'm living kinda good similar to jack tripper

A landlord named roper did a show at the copa

When I finish with this

I'll be paid like oprah

So if honey wants to act fly

Just get life fly

Stick out your thumb and hitch

Cause you've been cut off like a lightswitch

See I'm programmed to slam with the summer

Spring and fall

Before I do a show

I get some kicks out the mall

Then I get my gear and I give trev a call

Cause he works in the barbershop

Right behind the mall

Other rappers tried to rob me

But you know they got did

To put it blunt

Honey I smoked the kids

So hookers back off break north here

Comes the regulator

Cause you doesn't find none greater

On file is a style that's why you caught a clip

My suitcases is packed and

I'm going on a trip to mic-a-delphia

I go for self and still be slamming

The school bell is ringing and

I caught somebody cramming

For the test oh yes

My study guide was thick

I cut you with my verbal didn't hurt you just a nick

Off your face don't play possum

Watch me and I'll blossom like a rose

And get some new clothes

And a fresh fade from rob

Jump on the phone and dial the now rule mob

Now come one come all

We about to get hectic

If my crew don't get in

Then the x makes an exit

To the rear I'm outta here

Don't front on my brothers

I take care of them before

I take care of others

Now wood bats is doomed

In the ninties it's aluminum

Step to the stage with a mic

And I'm doing him something awful

I'm a citizen and I'm lawful

I go to hunt another fall

Rip the policemens ball

I got the power to make a car stall

I guess I'm great from blackness

And when the crowd slackens

I stop drinking and then I start thinking

About days in the past when derek x was last

But now I'm on the top damn news travels fast

Cuz I'm like that they can't see this

Read my book it contains many pieces of verses

I took the time to delete all the curses

So moms reach deep in your purses

And buy me take me home

And try me and do me well

Well while I reign rhymes pour

You suck it up like a straw

And jump on the dancefloor

Cause every time I step in a jam

I make like a door and slam

But then girls try to turn my knob

Cause I'm a hearthrob

I guess its just a hazard that comes with the job

Cause everytime I rock a rhyme

That shows jamar is intellectual

Girls want to get sexual

Well I guess I have to cope with being so d**e

You want to be me but can't see me with a telescope

You seek and search but still you cant find

You're weak and it hurts to be deaf dumb and blind

A supreme mind will take you out of your paralysis

I grip the mic so tight I get callouses

And your analysis is that the lord

Rips rhymes into shape with a mic cord

I do it good cause I'm a postive black man

Eating up suckers as if I was pac man

Not a dapper dan fan I stay casual

To rock like the it comes gradual

You got to know the ledge of wise and dumb

And understand your culture of freedom

Power equally with the gods

So you can build and form your cipher

All your life you must teach true

Of the true and living god not a mystery spook

And when you do that pursue that goal

Which made the student enroll and only then youll prosper
