Brand Nubian - Got a Knot lyrics

Yeah put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up
(Got a knot, knot up in the pocket) uhh
Got a knot
(Got a knot, knot up in the pocket) yeah
(Got a knot, knot up in the pocket)
(Got a knot, knot up in the pocket) uhh

Y'all know what time it is
Let's get it crackin
Push up on a shorty, no slackin
Just start mackin lay yo' shit down
Baby ain't no time to clown
Takin Southbound but I turn around
Where it start gettin brown
I ain't no dooty hound
Shit I lay my duty down pound for pound
Brand Nu one of the best around
I put like 20 some odd
Years up in the projects
Gourmet chef with welfare cheese
Before these record checks


I used to steal my mom's whip
Sneak up in the club
Get back to the parkin lot
The next door neighbor jacked my spot
Ahhhhh shhhhit
Excuse me miss you got to move your car
And I took a dub before I stole ? shit
That's all I need now for
Her ass to really flip
I'm 2 strikes and 3 quarters from a pink slip
I'm glad I'm makin hit's
Y'all know the chorus, sing this shit
(Got a knot, knot up in the pocket) yeah
(Got a knot, knot up in the pocket)
(Got a knot, knot up in the pocket)
(Got a knot, knot up in the pocket) uhh

Morph into somethin terrible
My presence unbearable, parable
A spittin Bronx legend like Larry Davis
Make police think about it
On they routine tours
Through the war's lifestyle, hell scene
Shells and void sales
Avoid bails, avoid jails, I'm four-eyed
Who's ridin who inside? Who say they know me
I give great, atmosphere, like a open bar
You got to scratch and claw
You tryin to match the star
Hit me on my cellular, six for my dick
My man is on the phone cryin over some chick
Yo call me back
My exact measure make the world my treasure
And since we only live once
The world's my pleasure, who want booze?
Broads, dice game and cards
Houses with yards
Feel the blast from the glass shards
Who got colored bags, who got colored rags
Straight brims for ya block
Be from ? in pairs i move these crabs out my
Life like they musical chairs

(Got a knot, knot up in the pocket) yeah
(Got a knot
Knot up in the pocket) raise ya hands
(Got a knot
Knot up in the pocket) if ya gotta knot
(Got a knot
Knot up in the pocket) if you want a knot

Now I don't lust over money
But, if I had to do it
I would bust over money
Let's not have a dispute and
Cause disgust over money
Cause we can cut and shoot and
Shed the blood over money
But that wouldn't be right, yo
Gotta have some, money in yo' pocket
How the fuck you 'sposed
To hit the supermarket?
You can't even get the stain out your carpet
Without havin little money in your pocket
I know you wanna get the
Chain with the locket
Buy a plane so you can sit up in the cockpit
All day gettin brains from a hot bitch
Layin back, spendin change on a ostrich
Or would you settle for just
Gettin out the projects
Pay off your debts, make a little progress
Either way the only thing that could stop it
Is not havin no, money in your pocket

(Got a knot
Knot up in the pocket) got a knot
(Got a knot
Knot up in the pocket) want a knot
(Got a knot
Knot up in the pocket) need a knot
(Got a knot, knot up in the pocket) uh huh
(Got a knot
Knot up in the pocket) got a knot
(Got a knot
Knot up in the pocket) want a knot
(Got a knot
Knot up in the pocket) need a knot
(Got a knot, knot up in the pocket) yeah
