Brand Nubian - Alladat lyrics

rate me

Intro: Sadat X

Ha, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yo, straight from the wilds of The Bronx, it's Buckwild, y'knowI'msayin?

And that kid Sadat X born king, doin my thing

KnowI'msayin? I let'cha know how it is in my lifestyle everyday

Verse One: Sadat X

Lately yo, I been walkin tightropes

It's an adventure everyday as I walk down the block

Quiet baldhead is like a bad motherfucker

All charged up from Madison Ave.

I'm up on the stage if you read the front page

Give me the ol' school mic wiv a cord

I'll stand on the table, give a fuck about a label

Now, we all can't brawl, we all can't brawl

It'll be your downfall when you're goin like this

Is it the cash or the hash from my stash that compells you?

Gas kids throw me but my crew bring me back

They stay on my back so I don't act like alladat

Hook: Busta Rhymes

Now all these niggas carry on like they think they alladat

They think they alladat, they think they alladat

Now all these niggas carry on when they think they alladat

They think they alladat, they think they alladat

Verse Two: Sadat X

Late one night, 55th outpost

Chickenhead watchin to see who she can catch

She got a man, I can tell cos the action in her eyes

ain't nervous, a young sassy thing

She call me a playa, standin on the corner wiv her whole dime crew

I'm ridin down the block wiv her girlfriend

In the next nigga's car, lookin like a star

Shades, blackness, packed his whole damn frame

Ya got to be down to *?starts?* about the booty

Cos Sonny Lamb packs the wham

It's all good, yeah it's all good

See it attracts kids that are sweater

A nigga like me'll be the first to forgetta

So now she all mad, bringin drama to the crib

Go ahead, chickenhead, wit the funk

You get played like trash if you act like you'd always have and you always

will

Chickenheads is only good for a thrill

Hook: Busta Rhymes

Yo yo, yo they think they alladat, they think they alladat

All these bitches carry on when they think they alladat

They think they alladat, they think they alladat

Verse Three: Sadat X

Now my cheques jam and I waited all damn week

And if I flip em the bad guy, you wonder why

When the corner officers and nobody can call me back

and everybody claims to know nothin

And these is the peoples that's down wit me

supposedly, lays on my side, yeah right

They let a nigga die in the night if you let em

You can get wild, flip, go grab the mask

But it damn sure slow-up the cash cos I know

ya be a menace to society, still waitin for the dough

The thinkin man is the one with the plan

Plant his seeds first then be ready to burst

It's like that, huh? My name is X from the hot blocks of Harlem

Take it personally when you try to stop my stardom

Use to be mild, find myself gettin wild

Got to slow down for my girl and my child

Cos I love life and I gots ta live it

and everytime I get on stage I'ma move sometin

And you can never say the X didn't hit'cha

Aiyo, I put it on ya, but first I warn ya

This ain't no average skit, this is a hit

More than you hit, better than your best shit

better than your man's shit, better than his cousin's shit

better than your whole block, buck once and then ya come wit that nons....

Interlude: Sadat X talking

Aight, hey Buck, when you bring what you bring to the game and when I bring

what I bring to the game, it's dangerous that I can't even call it. But we

gonna end it off like this, y'knowI'msayin? On some Bronx town shit, check

it out

Verse Four: Sadat X

The big X has spoken, courtesy of Buck

A Bronx hoe-down similar to the showdown

Won't you place a bet on ya man

You know my style and you know where I stand

I'ma leave you on wit the real for right now

Peace to Brand Nubian, Now Rule and Buckwild

But right now, peep the master of the headnod

Hit New York harder and smarter, thieves attack, now stay back

Tainted styles don't pass the grade

A lotta kids are slidin, just ridin on the wave

A lotta kids are slidin, just ridin on the wave

A lotta kids are slidin, just ridin on the wave

Hook: Busta Rhymes

Yo, all these niggas think they hard when they think they alladat

They think they alladat, they think they alladat

All these bitches act like sluts when they think they alladat

They think they alladat, they think they alladat

Now all these fraud niggas are bitches when they think they alladat

They think they alladat, they think they alladat

Fuck dem niggas out there who think they alladat

They think they alladat, they thunk they alladat

Fuck dem niggas, fuck dem bitches

Fuck dem fraud ass, motherfuckers

Fake ass niggas

HAH!
