| Respect...check mate...Now game is over ... who's the man
 I'm the nubian in demand, word to the mutha,
 I'm a lover of mama Africa , but I'm all over
 Exoticism, who got my back, of course, my brothers
 Make place, some space, for the too black, too strong African jiggaboo, dark 
    nigga on the mike
 I strike and thrust my tongue
 It's time for me to lick it and kick it
 Just give me a minute See, the sky is the limit
 At first, I just trust I must bust
 One love to my brothers
 As the bass boosts plus
 Got so much love for my niggas
 That it really hurts me
 Everytime I see them always pulling tha triggers
 You wonder who I am
 I'm a brotherman from another land
 Known as the motherland
 Yes, I represent Alkebu-Lan, damn - man
 The funky fulani, I expect respect for tha' nubian
 
  Respect everyoneNo matter if you're black
 No matter if you're white
 Respect everyone, respect everyone
 Respect the black man
 And respect the nubian
  Respect the nubian, cos the 
    nubian is me I'm coming like a bat out hell
 But all i see is no respect for my people
 So we as gangstarr just gotta combat the conspiracy
 It's an african thing, yes,
 you gotta understand, underhand
 That's its hard to be a nubian
 Islam my jam, ain't no damn thing gonna stop me
 I'm on a mission, you better listen
 Don't doubt me
 I'm real, i got skills, and i've got will
 Young, gifted and black african
 But i still see brothers and sisters
 Disrespecting me
 Cause the african, to damn and shit see
 I speak clearly, word by word, letter by letter
 Then if you can understand,
 I hope you'll treat me better
 Nubians be true to yourself
 Respect your women, stay real
 I know how you feel

    |  | Respect 
    everyone No matter if you're black
 No matter if you're white
 Respect everyone, respect everyone
 Respect the black man
 And respect the nubian
 Suckers are talking about the 
    motherland Just like they love her, get the hell out of it
 'cos I can see that's only sell out shit
 Saying there proud to be this and that
 But if you call them african
 They certainly have a heart attack
 Not because they're not, but they'll hate to be
 (called like that)
 Now the question is, who's really the wannabee
 We've been enslaved, divided, colonized
 and split up
 Black people away from each other
 We ain't into that.
 Sometimes I wonder, under the sun
 I used to ponder 'cos we're in the same situation
 Here and yonder, there just trying to divide to rule
 Takin' us for fools
 Teach us lies from the early school
 Don't let no one put the blame on your brotherman
 That's a sham, you're a true nubian, damn
 If you get what I'm saying
 You love what I'm playing
 Check this out, cos I ain't staying
 
  Respect everyone No matter if you're black
 No matter if you're white
 Respect everyone, respect everyone
 Respect the black man
 And respect the nubian
