Lyrics Alladat - Brand Nubian

Alladat

Ha, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yo, straight from the wilds of The Bronx, it’s Buckwild, you know I’m sayin'?
And that kid Sadat X born king, doin' my thing
Know I’m sayin'?
I let’cha know how it is in my lifestyle everyday
Lately yo, I been walkin' tightropes
It’s an adventure everyday as I walk down the block
Quiet bald head 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 old school mic with 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 compels you?
Gas kids throw me but my crew bring me back
They stay on my back so I don’t act like alladat
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
Late one night, 55th outpost
Chicken head 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 with her whole damn crew
I’m ridin' down the block with 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 forget her
So now she all mad, bringin' drama to the crib
Go ahead, chicken head, wit the funk
You get played like trash if you act like you’d always have
And you always will, chicken heads is only good for a thrill
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
Now my checks 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 every time 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
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, you know I’m sayin'?
On some Bronx town shit, check it out
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
Right now, peep the master of the head nod
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
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 them niggas out there who think they alladat
They think they alladat, they think they alladat
Fuck them niggas, fuck them bitches
Fuck them fraud ass, motherfuckers
Fake ass niggas
