Bark is much worse than your bite like a baby pit
For other rappers we gon' ruin your plans
Watch your tone or get acquainted with the back of my hand
I was gonna hit him with doe but he ain't real want no shorts
In front of they girl, and she's throwing away that ass
Is going platinum plus, comin' through in a clutch
That girl gave you crabs but I can't explain those scabs
We drop a jewel and never stoppin' what we do
We're out for the lion's share now watch me take it there
It's one thing you should never do in this game and that's sell your soul
Always do what we must, everything that we touch
Me and my squad, separating the peas from the pod
And yes, my man Hav had bought me something from VA
Is going platinum plus, comin' through in a clutch
Always do what we must, everything that we touch
And I ain't really asked for it cos a lot of niggas tore it
Always do what we must, everything that we touch
We drop a jewel and never stoppin' what we do
Froze in a gunfight, forcing those
I mean I work hard for what I got and I be thankful for what I get
Straight outta Now Rule, Brand Nu keepin' cool
Is going platinum plus, comin' through in a clutch
On stores run by the Arabs with pictures of yen
I make a lot of sense then I go and make the dollars
I stay positive, niggas mistake that for not hard
We salivate from hunger, placed in fucked up situations
They promised me 40 acres and a mule
And wonder when retaliation will occur, build destroy he or her
What we doin' stands as a motto
It's time to fill the void, niggas kill the noise
We drop a jewel and never stoppin' what we do
No bodyguard, fuck around and roll a tank through your yard
Oh damn, silly of me, I forgot to let y'all know
Always do what we must, everything that we touch
They lifestyle's 'bout to end, I'm in these African cabs
And all I got was a project and a subway
Niggas say it's real rough today and I say what you say
Nigga I'm God, walk through North America like Master Farrad
In the pitch dark of the night you's afraid to get exposed
Bitch niggas gettin' smacked and smacked again
Who run with you to reevaluate affiliations
Always do what we must, everything that we touch
Like Grace Jones' nipple to the bottle
Nubian Brand steadily influencin' fans
Yeah, man, these 'Dick in the butt', rappers could get shot in the face
Son, I ain't gonna super splash you with no Fantasy Island shit
like the sunlight which rose in the morning
Seem like they schemin'
Ha, '98, too soon
Is going platinum plus, comin' through in a clutch
Straight outta Now Rule, Brand Nu keepin' cool
Sell 5 million CDs and give the proceeds to my favorite charity
We pioneer and never follow
Work hard like blue collars, ghetto scholars is hard to follow
Herculoid cats get flattened and reduced to pitchin'
A lot of y'all niggas is 85th on some shady shit
Is going platinum plus, comin' through in a clutch
Straight outta Now Rule, Brand Nu keepin' cool
To the young boys, you fuckin' with a grown-ass man
Ha ha, where we at? Flash one-time
Yeah, my verbal clarity speaks for my popularity
We drop a jewel and never stoppin' what we do
I can tell by the wind somebody's gettin' ready to bend
Dragged through the streets and probably left some place
Straight outta Now Rule, Brand Nu keepin' cool
And if you practice, spit your verbs properly, not sloppily
Like monopoly, you can end up with cheese, whips and property
I seem shootouts in the park, ball games turned tragic
Man, I swore I would never go to VA again
Until I found out who killed my best friend
'Cause we had worked together and he knew I was true blue
