Nitty Gritty (Remix) - 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 f**k
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 natty dread used to be a foot fet'
The city 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
