black horse at any cost\nBrand Nubians will rise up and be the boss and show it\nAll fairness if you're black and show awareness\nYou can rally 'round the flag\nStand tall, or don't stand at all\n\nYou're with the three and the three won't sag to the floor\nBesides picture that I'm painting I can draw\nSee me work nine to five on my easel\nMy physical is strong and my mind is cock diesel\nBrand Nubian function in conjunction with the three\n\nBrand Nubian\nNot on a bandwagon following a fad\nMaking use of the knowledge that we already had\nGrand Pu, here to send the mind into a

black, the beautiful, the bold)\n\nNow if this falls short I'll try harder\nA wisdom to me is someone like Assata\nI'd like to say peace to Bambaata\nTasa Kuma, Achmed, and Kenyatta\n\nBrothers that'll fight for the cause\nAnd they live in the boundaries of the righteous laws\nTo be exact, dominant means black\nBut some have a hard time trying to swallow that\n\nNow we have some that are
