[00:01.848]Yeah
[00:04.530](One for all, is all for one)
[00:08.807]I hit a beat and swing a note as if my name was David Ruffin
[00:11.646]Quick to toast an MC just like an English muffin
[00:14.038]Don't worry about a thing because the Puba's never bluffing
[00:16.303]I gets headaches from the wack, so then I take a Bufferin and I max
[00:19.398]I wait until the opportune time and then I tax but should I max?
[00:23.168]Now they say sinning is for sinners so I guess I'm not a sinner
[00:25.864]Beginning's for beginners so I guess I'm no beginner
[00:28.167]This is how I spark it, puts money in my pocket
[00:30.579]When it comes to having pleasure I gets hard as a rocket
[00:32.873]MC Grand Pu coming through all the residue
[00:35.098]The songs remain classics dating back to the Babalu
[00:37.603]My boys I call 'em Akh, the foes I let 'em jock
[00:39.899]And I can think of many episodes I swung in Lincoln Park
[00:42.259]No I'm not a phony and I got a tenderoni
[00:44.842]Love the way she is - not too fat, not too bony
[00:47.159]Don't drink Sanka, won't sink like a tanker
[00:49.466]Knock the boots off a skirt in Casablanca and I thank her
[00:51.851]Some rappers stink like Englebert Humperdinck
[00:54.262]Better yet **** Cavett, I got a bad habit
[00:56.707]Similar to the girl on She's Gotta Have It
[00:59.037]I think with the brain and I whip behind the zipper
[01:01.285]I'm living kinda good similar to Jack Tripper
[01:03.673]A landlord named Roper did a show at the Copa
[01:06.074]When I'm finished with this I'll be paid like Oprah
[01:08.468]So if honey wants to act fly
[01:10.451]I'll just play like Guy and I'm (saying, "bye, bye, dumb *****!")
[01:14.381]Stick out your thumb and hitch
[01:15.976]Cause you've been cut off like a light switch
[01:17.730]See I'm programmed to slam, winter, summer, spring or fall
[01:20.064]Before I do a show I get some kicks out the mall
[01:22.556]Then I get my gear and I give Trev a call
[01:24.886]Cause he works in the barbershop, right behind the mall
[01:27.325]Other rappers tried to rob me but you know they got did
[01:29.576]To put it blunt, honey I shrunk the kids
[01:32.030]So bookers back off break North here comes the regulator
[01:34.504]Betcha that you find none greater
[01:36.635](One for all) Brand Nubian!
[01:39.103](Is all for one) Brand Nubian!
[01:41.252](One for all) Brand Nubian!
[01:43.713](Is all for one) Brand Nubian!
[01:46.007]On file is a style, that's why you caught a clip
[01:48.542]My suitcases is packed and I'm going on a trip
[01:50.990]To Mic-a-delphia I go for self and still be slamming
[01:53.519]The school bell is ringing and I caught somebody cramming
[01:55.760]For the test, oh yes, my study guide was thick
[01:58.137]I cut you with my verbal, didn't hurt you just a nick
[02:00.401]Off your face, don't play possum watch me and I'll blossom
[02:02.788]Like a rose and get some new clothes
[02:05.163]And a fresh fade from Rob
[02:07.413]Jamar on the phone and now the Now Rule Mob
[02:10.254]The come one, come all, we about to get hectic
[02:12.226]If my crew don't get in, then the X makes a exit
[02:14.643]To the rear, I'm outta here, don't front on my brothers
[02:17.073]I take care of them before I take care of others
[02:19.387]The wood bats is doomed, in the 90's it's aluminum
[02:21.809]Step to the stage with a mic and I'm doing 'em something awful
[02:25.010]I'm a citizen and I'm lawful
[02:28.577]I go to Hunter in the fall, rip the policemen's ball
[02:31.419]I got the power to make a car stall
[02:33.463]I get some drinks from Glackens, and when the crowd slackens
[02:36.014]I stop drinking and then I start thinking about
[02:38.322]Days in the past when Derek X was last
[02:40.769]But now I'm on the top, damn, news travels fast
[02:43.077]Cause I'm like that, they can't see this
[02:45.790]Read my book, it contains many pieces of verses
[02:48.577]I took the time to delete all the curses
[02:51.035]So moms reach deep in your purses
[02:53.170]And buy me, take me home and try me and do me well
[02:57.101](One for all) Brand Nubian!
[02:59.360](Is all for one) Brand Nubian!
[03:01.727](One for all) Brand Nubian!
[03:04.054](Is all for one) Brand Nubian!
[03:06.454]Well, while I reign rhymes pour
[03:08.519]You suck it up like a straw and jump on the dance floor
[03:11.602]Cause every time I step in a jam
[03:13.608]I make like a door and slam
[03:15.952]But then girls try to turn my knob cause I'm a heart throb
[03:18.703]I guess it's just a hazard that comes with the job
[03:20.703]Cause every time I rock a rhyme that shows Jamar is intellectual
[03:23.480]Girls want to get ***ual
[03:25.245]Well I guess I have to cope with being so ****
[03:27.765]You want to be me, but can't see me with a telescope
[03:30.257]You seek and search but still you can't find
[03:32.670]You're weak and it hurts to be deaf, dumb and blind
[03:35.114]A supreme mind will take you out of your paralysis
[03:37.413]I grip the mic so tight I get callouses
[03:39.938]And your analysis is that the Lord
[03:42.344]Whips rhymes into shape with a mic cord
[03:44.728]I do it good cause I'm a positive black man
[03:46.885]Eating up suckers as if I was PacMan
[03:49.296]Not a Dapper Dan fan, I stay casual
[03:51.786]To rock like the J it comes gradual
[03:54.361]You got to know the ledge to wise the dumb
[03:56.579]And understand your culture of freedom
[03:58.879]Power equally with the Gods
[04:01.033]So you can build and born your cipher
[04:03.389]All your life you must teach truth
[04:05.612]Of the true and living God, not a mystery spook
[04:07.972]And when you do that, pursue that goal
[04:09.821]Which made the student enroll and only then you'll prosper
[04:13.012](One for all, is..is all for one)
[04:31.924](One for all..)
