Straight Of Da Head Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, fo' your mind

Hmmmright, let's see what we can come up with

Record after record, yeaaah, rhyme after rhyme check it

[Sadat X]

In the studio, on the first try

On the verse high only birds fly

You get out the pack like that y'all

Straight off da head (what?), let niggas know I use to wear the pro

Get three strikes yo, I used to have to court awarder

but now I got a daughter and she gotta grow

And I let her know that that ain't the way to go

My name is X, yo I'm like a puzzle when I get released

Just like I had my muzzle off, check it out yo

I can never be sold

You don't stop (and you don't quit) and you don't stop

(We're makin hit after hit after hit y'all) Ya don't stop

[Lord Jamar]

Comin straight off da head one time it's the dread Lord J

Come around the way, would you say?

One time with my crew, manifessin

Just like that, now who you think you tessin? Uhh

Get erect with the blunts and ya check

right in, one time, goin to the bank, I'm

cashin, and you know I be stashin

in the mattress, one time with the phatness

Just like that and defeatin all my foes

Go for jack

[Sadat X]

Yo my name is X, yo my name is X and I was born in

the BX, I went to New Rochelle

Know my man Mark the Spark who live in the Vernon

And my man be they rhythm, dwell in Bronxdale, in the home of the

boss, goin down the block or go to forest

Keep on goin past Morris High School

Then I go down the street to Courtland Ave.

Vietnam, the male goes in Jackson

Over the bridge, on 45th to 8th Ave.

Go to 7th Ave., go to Polo Grounds

Go to Drewham, 1-0-6 all the way to 1-10

Black Puerto Rican and Dominican, check it out

[Lord Jamar]

Uhh, we're gonna show you how we live, take you straight across the bridge Brand Nubian - Straight Of Da Head - http://motolyrics.com/brand-nubian/straight-of-da-head-lyrics.html

to Medina where the GODs is meaner, wisdom is cleaner

Straight down on Flatbush Ave.

Some of the streets in Brooklyn'll make you laugh

Names like Myrtle and Willoughby

Things like Scurmerhorn and Classun

and funny names like that but still they got the gats rollin

Just like that that's how we be strollin

Maestro Manny and my man Big Ill, we fill blunts

Just like that we kill stunts

Guts, and what'cha want like that, we got nuts

Just like that cos it's phat, uhhh

[Sadat X]

Check it out, yeah (Like that, ya don't stop)

And I keep on goin, I keep on goin (Just like that ya don't stop)

My head keep goin on

Rob deep from mackadocious, your cut be close

With the one blade, ever since the first grade

I been a fan of the rap and I can do this

I use to watch and listen, and watch the ol' time greats

and watch em how they did things and I learned it well

I rip in New Rochelle, that's where I dwell (Uhh)

Check it out, my name is X, yo my man Mark the Spark's with me

My man Serge got the urge to splurge, he came from Cleveland

All the way from Ohio, he's gonna letcha know

can you deal with his flow, yo yo?

[Lord Jamar]

Aiyo, peace to the GODs, peace to the Earth

Peace to the birth of me and my seed Khari

It's like that in effect one time, and I'm

the black man, intelligent with the plan

Islam be the bomb, droppin on the devils

Goin to a higher level

Peace to Farrakhan and the Nation like that

Creation is black, one time, that's a fact

Original solar, I'm Lord Jamar, yes I be the

intelligent one, I be the sun shinin

Like the light in the night, but still I be bright

One time, now I recite the lessons for ya

one time, messin for ya or

check it out, without a doubt

Peace to the GODs, sincere, makin it clear

Peace to Tamiq, yeah that's the language we speak

Peace to Knowledge, he didn't go to college

but still he got the supreme mind
