Verse one: Lord Jamar 

Brand Nubian function 
A junction of three 
Collaboration in a style that's like funk 
To slap palms, swing arms 
Tap a soul 
Cause no rock rolls down our hill 
Yo black it's kinda ill 
We don't roll no rocks we just fill 
Heads with knowledge, pure foundation 
Showing and proving through the manifestation 
Of our name which is "Brand Nu" 
Brand Nubian and we've come to 
Make the people aware that black means first 
4000 years and we're made to feel cursed 
But now it's our time to rule 
Student of the old, teacher of the new school 
My inspiration is the five percent nation 
As I cram, education was born 
Like a thorn in your side I have sworn 
Never to divide with Brand Nubian 

Verse Two: Derrick X (Sadat X) 

You have to stand as a black man 
Brand Nubian 
From the Sudan plus I never ran 
I'm from Africa, the central region 
There I grew and formed a legion of my force 
See me riding on a jet black horse at any cost 
Brand Nubians will rise up and be the boss and show it 
All fairness if you're black and show awareness 
You can rally 'round the flag 
Stand tall, or don't stand at all 
You're with the three and the three won't sag to the floor 
Besides picture that I'm painting I can draw 
See me work nine to five on my easel 
My physical is strong and my mind is cock diesel 
Brand Nubian function in conjunction with the three 

Verse 3: Grand Puba 

Brand Nubian 
Not on a bandwagon following a fad 
Making use of the knowledge that we already had 
Grand Pu, here to send the mind into a frenzy 
I bet I'll swing something this summer for the benzi 
Seep into the mind the brain and activate the pelvis 
Keeping the blind deaf dumb and blind is Elvis 
Meaning old, so behold 
(The black, the beautiful, the bold) 
Now if this falls short I'll try harder 
A wisdom to me is someone like Assata 
I'd like to say peace to Bambaata 
Tasa Kuma(?), Achmed, and Kenyatta 
Brothers that'll fight for the cause 
And they live in the boundaries of the righteous laws 
To put it exact dominant means black 
But some have a hard time trying to swallow that 
Now we have some that are fake 
Wearing blue eyes and green eyes, come on gimme a break 
Brand Nubian here to wake up 
Take off the makeup cause all it'll do is cake up 
Just be real that's how I feel 
Brand Nubian 

Verse four 

Nubian 
(DX) A native or inhabitant of Nubia 
Nubian 
(LJ) A member of one of a group of African tribes that formed a poweful 
Empire between Egypt and Ethiopia 
from the 6th to 14th century Nubian 
(GP) Any of several languages spoken in the central and northern Sudan 
And that's why we call ourselves Brand Nubian 

(DX) As the midnight oil burns, our minds turn 
Make a mistake and be fake and you'll burn 
We're here to teach so you'd might as well learn 
That the tree has the knowledge for what you yearn
