Ayo peace God, Shaquan Allah
Ayo peace it's J-Quence the Boogieman
Yo peace God, D-Black
Peace to the Gods, Tony D from the Now Rule Mob
Ayo ain't that them the Gods, KMD and Matter of Fact?
Yeah KMD, and what are them the brothers Brand Nubians?
Yo I heard they go by the name of the God Squad, what's up with that?
The Mob percent and the Ants are together, that is something totally
True indeed God, true indeed
You know what I'm saying?
Check it out
Born again and soul bent, friends
KMD and Brand Nubian friends
X tends to grip palm and cousin calm
And his knowledge of self to commence to bomb it
As alarming as a beep from your beeper
What you needed was a wake-up call to the Sunday sleeper
You don't wanna get woke by the wolf, does ya?
Good guessin', switch the picture up
Another session from the infamous God Squad
See these all peas in the same pod God
Odd and upright, gettin' down right, nitwit
Broad held up tight, 'cause I sit with nitwit
Witnesses knockin' at my door preachin'
The law to change your life around
I figure I just saw Jamal the other day uptown
Give him a pound, Mr. Puzzle relax
The nitwits guzzle '85 proof, ask Max
God cypher divine as I build on a incline
Quick to help another 'cause I know I'ma get mine
Build powers think they hard but they killin' they own kind
The fallacy, no, Divine Evil got 'em in his mind
Now you caught a case, you're in the mountains of a life
And no skins from your girl, just a he cypher monkey cypher
Or you can use the next plan
Vaseline, a magazine or your lovin' hand
I know you know who got you livin' like this black man
So honey, honey, honey with the real big ass
"Get right down to the real nitty gritty now"
Put some clothes on that behind
And maybe brothers wouldn't think skins all the time
You wanna live lustful but don't want 'em to lust
When it's crazier than a bag of dust
So we be, we be, we be, it's quick to deceive me
So I had to tell we be, we be, we be
Haha, yeah I hear ya Hodgy, but yo
I got somethin' for those who be frontin' out there God
Kick that
Now ain't that the pits? Another brother's bones are bits
And when the news hits, everybody catch fits
We gets mad, but still at home we sits
Pickin' out on a big pig, spoon to the grits
Talkin' '85 jive, brothers they wanna get live
But some front while I strive
See I strive, I gotta keep God steppin' in harmony
Brothers tried bombin' me, the devil's tried timin' me up
But now cypher way, I gots knowledge of self
I been had it, now it's a bad habit to help
See 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, then how can I trust you?
ย
Know what I'm sayin'? Ayo true indeed
God's knowledge of self and do for self
That's the foul way, know what I'm sayin'?
Black man gotta move on
Ayo Subroc
What up? I gotta move on
You know what I'm sayin'? It's all on the path, on my listeners
Hit 'em, hit 'em, T-go, kick that
I see something so dense
Man from head to toe, they're full of lead
I felt to break, nah, I build a fort instead
So I talk, chilled before flipped
'Cause in actuality my man's mentality was tripped
I dipped back to the roots, I am that I am a king
Cream in the coffee, no thanks play thing
You're simple teenage, you thought you got the knack to be black
State of mind ain't like mine, I got soul that you lack
Each should teach in every town, relay that
The God Squad is like homemade, a clown, we don't play that
Cool, chick-a-boom, Uncle Tom's in the mix
Get a good look at the Book of Psalms, eighty-two and six
All Gods and children of the most high
Get God, still fry in the sun and don't deny
I got a third eye sight vibe that don't lie
I end the line, goodnight, Divine Evil's the bullseye
Right between the eyes, yeah
So y'all know who's the target, right?
Yeah, I hear ya Subroc, and I see it like this
Word up, word up, spit
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 where we speaks with a laser
Rush your brain with a new genetic strain
The God in God's clothin' and the devil's loathin'
Got enemies but I really don't give a damn
Smack the man 'cause he tried to serve a fainter hand
The sky's in a patty, my uncle Trump is Dreddy Dread
He got a devious dread, used to be a foot fed
City jammed his mission and I forgot the mission
But I'm the Word Up, yes enough is enough
Zig zag zig, watch the black man get big
And burst, the black man is first
I drive a black hearse and I bury all the devils
With KMD I can raise up my levels, bust it
Yeah, you know what I'm sayin'?
Just tryin' to bend, just tryin' to bend
Gotta raise up and bend
Join me on this Brooklyn, you feel me?
Word is bond, we gotta reach them
Let 'em see the light
True indeed, black man
'Cause each one must teach one
That's how we reach one
God Squad, gettin' down to the nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
Get right down to the real nitty gritty
Nitty gritty now, one, two
Nitty gritty now, one, two
Nitty gritty now
It's the nitty gritty, it's the nitty gritty
It's the nitty gritty, it's the nitty gritty
It's the nitty gritty, it's the nitty gritty
It's the nitty gritty, more like trial and error
It's the trial and error, more like trial and error
