Brand Nubian - Where Are You Now? lyrics

rate me

(feat. Starr)

[Sadat X]

Explain the women that I keep

Goin through my house and shit when I'm asleep

We bang heads a lot, we bang beds a lot

You ask questions a lot, and try to trip me up

But I ain't never been the one that's tryin to bend

And no it wasn't me that was seen by your friends

She thinks she saw me, makin shit stormy

Most in my path'll probably say they love me

Say they thinkin of me but they can't be with me

It's no hate, one was even tryin to wait

So for her I tried to run my shit straight

Did I want to set the date, I said let's leave it by fate, and then she skate

The world ain't shit and everything ain't great

Whoever in this trade done swayed into the cons

of they sexual liasons and past dealings

Smashed the four wheel and stay forever concealed

[Chorus: Starr]

Where are you now, that, I need you, with me

Where are you now, that, the chips, are down

Where are you now, I'm, sad, and, lonely

Now that I need you girl, you're, not around

[Grand Puba]

It seem like 85% of most bitches more concerned about

niggaz with riches but uncapable of washin the dishes

Attitude always suspicious, she fulfill your every wishes

And she dig the way you got up in them britches

Always expressin her undyin love for a thug

Now who said you can't find romance in a nightclub

Now you bugged, backrubs in the hot tub

got you believin that this pigeon ain't thinkin dubs

Damn, she like game airtight, but you know the rule

when you bag a joint and twist it on the first night (uh-huh)

That shit's a might if the ass is alright

If that shit ain't really tight, she probably did the same thing last night

'Long as the paper pilin, then she smilin

Ain't thinkin 'bout whylin, you takin her to different islands

But let your paper fall short, Cristal turn to cork

Then you turn around and ask that bitch for support

[Chorus]

[Lord Jamar]

Uh, uh, yo

When a nigga had money you was there; funny how

everytime I turned around, you was there

When it was time for you to get your hair (uh) your nails and your gear

But at my court date, you failed to appear

Fought my case on appeals, it took over a year

And in that time, a nigga didn't see nor hear

Got to the point there was no respect at all

I was shocked when you did not collect my call

Spent nights in my cell just beatin my dick

Thinkin 'bout, how we used to fuck and shit

I took you out, bought your ass a bunch of shit

When I get out, I'm gonna fuckin punch this bitch

Right then I'm out, cause she don't understand the rules

You don't bite the man that dipped your hand in jewels

You were there when I bought the rock to blind you

Now a nigga locked and I can't find you

[Chorus x2]

[Starr]

Where are you now (where where where where)
