The Return Lyrics

    "Grand Puba" "Lord Jamar" "Sadat X" "Alamo"
    [Puba] "Raised in the ghetto singin songs called survival"
    [Jamar] "I'm only bringin you the real"
    "Grand Puba" "Lord Jamar" "Sadat X" "Alamo"
    [Puba] "Raised in the ghetto singin songs called survival"
    [Sadat] "Have a stout if you know what I'm talkin about"

    Verse One: Lord Jamar

    Three sixty degrees I stand in the square, right over left
    Preparin to fight to the death, you could never stifle this
    Not even the triflest, nigga on Earth, could ever fuck
    with what I spit in a verse, we always hit where it hurts
    Underground so we dig in the dirt
    Always gotta put a nigga to work, is how it seems
    It's kinda hard to hear the silent screams
    Through the violent things, turn a deaf ear
    Your body might get left there - you better step to the rear
    We put it down with Premier, rock mad army gear
    You ain't heard us all together in, several years
    It's like a federal crime, you had to settle for rhymes
    that lacked substance, we got that in abundance
    Pro-black and you know that
    We stay Fat like Joe Crack, Lord Jamar
    come too far, to ever try and go back

    "Grand Puba" "Lord Jamar" "Sadat X" "Alamo"
    [Puba] "Raised in the ghetto singin songs called survival"
    [Jamar] "I'm only bringin you the real"
    "Grand Puba" "Lord Jamar" "Sadat X" "Alamo"
    [Puba] "Raised in the ghetto singin songs called survival"
    [Sadat] "Have a stout if you know what I'm talkin about"

    Verse Two: Sadat X

    I'm on 110 and Lennox with these Africans overseein
    our physical being, and how we doin it
    It only take one bad nigga to ruin it, pursuin it
    and actin like it can't happen put you in the chair
    To the bookings we go, on the twenty-four hour flow
    I run through obstacles, take off my shackles
    Proper backing with the bangers and the rhyme singers
    I run with dem and others, rock NY in colors
    with the straight brim and the chick who work in the gym
    The great Datty in the C-Town Express
    Whoever step to this is gonna have to face stress
    Whoever step to this better be at they best
    Look at me close I'm the perfect host you standin too close
    so back up, you should never try to act up
    The Wild Cowboy still got the style boy
    One of a kind I throw a helluva line

    "Grand Puba" "Lord Jamar" "Sadat X" "Alamo"
    [Puba] "Raised in the ghetto singin songs called survival"
    [Jamar] "I'm only bringin you the real"
    "Grand Puba" "Lord Jamar" "Sadat X" "Alamo"
    [Puba] "Raised in the ghetto singin songs called survival"
    [Sadat] "Have a stout if you know what I'm talkin about"

    Verse Three: Grand Puba

    Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
    My man Primo hit me off with the plural
    Zig Zag Zig like Zorro now we makin more bread than Stella Doro
    Unsung hero bring more _Heat_ than DeNiro
    Never known for spittin trash shit on the mic, that shit's a zero
    Rhyme flow stay off the meter, tight like two-seaters
    Make y'all get nuts like a cellblock filled with dick beaters
    Make my approach then shorty's bagged like coach
    Cut on the lights if she ain't a dime then watch me run like a roach
    Y'all know my shit be hot they call me Dr. Doo-a-lot
    Now I got seeds so I'm stingy I keep strings on my Benji's
    So tree up, nigga we up, about to re-up
    Y'all know the deal, grab this paper, dissapear like Copperfield
    I need a meal, time to eats with a flow
    Drop the beat, press it up, and hit the street, dinnertime's complete
    My Nubian ways'll get ass that open for days
    Make more chips than Frito Lays when I spit the phrase that pays

    "Grand Puba" "Lord Jamar" "Sadat X" "Alamo"
    [Puba] "Raised in the ghetto singin songs called survival"
    [Jamar] "I'm only bringin you the real"
    "Grand Puba" "Lord Jamar" "Sadat X" "Alamo"
    [Puba] "Raised in the ghetto singin songs called survival"
    [Sadat] "Have a stout if you know what I'm talkin about"
