Yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, uh-huh 

Chorus: 

you for me (U for me) 
And me for you (Me for you) 
One for all (One for all) 
That's the way we do (That's the way we do) 

you for me (U for me) 
And me for you (That's right) 
One for all (One for all) 
That's the way we do (That's the way we do) 

Verse One: Grand Puba 

Yeah I keep truer, sidestep MC's like manure 
Play the corner like a sewer, keep it milky like Kahlua 
Ya heard my shit be off the optimately optimate 
Once a nigga begin to spit, get ya high like trees and shit 
That's it, then I push it uptown to the Bush 
Yeah I moosh, watch me hook it off like a Nike swoosh 
My conglomerates reign dominance with prominence 
Son, a lot of niggas thought I was done but I only just begun 
Can y'all feel me because we feel y'all can 
Smoke the tree right off the tims, long live Brand Nubian 
My rhyme flow be imported, got so many different styles my shit is assorted 
Never distorted, want to catch my flow, better camcord it 
I'm a take you there, believe me yo 
See I'm here like welfare, got so many niggas livin my nickname should be 
"Air" 
You for me, me for you, that's how we do, 99-to-two-thou Brand Nu 

Chorus: 

you for me (Uhuh) 
Me for you (Me for you) 
One for all (One for all now) 
That's the way we do (That's just the way we do) 

you for me (That's you for me) 
Me for you (Uhuh) 
One for all (One for all) 
That's the way we do (That's just the way we do) 

Verse Two: Lord Jamar 

Yeah, we engage the enemy, arrange the assembly 
Flip through the pages of time, do you remember me? 
through the ages I existed only as a memory 
Some of me exists inside your biochemistry 
I be the slave that always misbehave, runnin for days 
The North Star help me find my way 
I ain't got no time to play, I'm trying to get away 
Bloodhounds tryin to track me down, tryin to bring me back to town 
If they catch me they just might ax me 
Won't arraign me, they probably hang me 
But it's freedom or death, exert speed til my last breath 
Can't half step, Whitey's on my trail 
I'm ridin on the underground rail, hidin from the face that's pale 
Me and Harriet, Swing Low Sweet Chariot and take me home 
They want to break my bones and take me where they keep the tombstones 

Chorus: 

you for me (That's you for me) 
Me for you (and that's me for you) 
One for all (One for all baby) 
That's the way we do (That's just the way that we do) 

you for me (Brand Nu, Brand Nu) 
Me for you (Me for you, huh) 
One for all (One for all) 
That's the way we do (That's the way we do) 

Verse Three: Sadat X 

Let me find out, y'all tryin to dine out without me there 
It can't happen, why is ya still yappin? 
I'm known by college grads and then by anyone who all knighted 
Why you so excited? You scarin chicks and grabbin em 
Talkin bout cabbin off the bat 
Relax nigga, you here with me, we don't get down like that 
I keep 13 with one in the ass, you Catholic mass 
Nobody wants to die and be a mural on the wall 
I'm the apostle y'all, I'm like Samuel L.L. 
But I'll swing by you like Eve with a gun in my sleeve 
Weed spots is like my need spots, let freedom ring 
Sadat X Luther King 
I want to 1000 from the housing, don't know how much the club allows in 
but I told the bouncer, I said "Yo that's not my fault 
there's no need for assault", push and hit the asphalt 
Now I'm a peaceful man, would you do for me, or is it...... 

Chorus: 

you for me (Is it in like that?) 
Me for you (Fo' sho', here we go) 
One for all (I said it's one for all) 
That's the way we do (That's the way that we do) 

you for me (U for me, you for me y'all) 
Me for you (Fo' sho', I'm for you, dogg) 
One for all (One for all) 
That's the way we do (That's the way we do) 

you for me (Brand Nubian huh) 
Me for you ('98-'99) 
One for all (Touche, here we go) 
That's the way we do (And that's the way, that's the way, that's the way) 

you for me (Yeah sho' nuff) 
Me for you (Uhuh, keep it goin) 
One for all (One for all baby) 
That's the way we do (That's the way we do, that's the way we do)
