Punks jump up to get beat down
An' if it comes to droppin' bombs, yo, I'm with that
I seen these two kids talkin' about the Nubian reign had fallen
Stick up your whack jam, everybody hit the floor

Black prodigy since the age of twenty

When I was young, I used to run with a notepad
Why did I have to do it? He asked for it

So I suggest you take your bloody mess

Punks jump up to get beat down
So if you think you had two soft new jacks

I could write a rhyme, rip it up an' write a next one

Get nothin' but a beat
So step the fuck off, before I punch you in your face
Punks jump up to get beat down
It's gonna flood south to the ground
You wanna grab the style that was made from my mom an' my dad
Okay it's you, Slim, the hard rock of the pack
Dissect 'em, yo, our word is bond regardless
Watch how rass cladda, you catch the speed knot

His man saw it, so it don't mean shit to me

To my what an' do the Puma strut
I can rock a jam, make the world drop ham
With the mothafuckin' bass
An' you're gonna know I don't fuck around
Though I can freak, fly, flow, fuck up a fagot
I leave my Nikes stuck in your rectum, 'til you learn
Punks jump up to get beat down

Punks jump up to get beat down
Then you're gonna taste blood in your mouth
Diamond D threw me some smooth shit, Bronx crowd roar

Did you want some more? I didn't think so
Right on the spot, sign my name with a dot
You thought you had a sweet Vic, a nice pick
Dread flows, gives me power as it grows
Punks jump up to get beat down
So this kid with mouth, swagger 'n I'll blaze the cloak an' dagger
Then it's time to retire, Lord Jamar will live long

Similar to the one that I got from my own dad
Just got whipped, like a fagot in the clink
I didn't say nothin', 'cuz these kids caught my goat
But you didn't anticipate that I might be sick
Explainin' to your friends why you're layin' on the floor

When a nigga try an' rob me for my cash
Then dimes knew an' somehow I knew that I was bad to the bone

Brand Nubian, yo, you gotta respect 'em
I'm like dick in ya ass, quick fast like my name was Flash
I always do the fuckin', if I have to do the buckin'
Heed not an' Hell will be your home
