lyrics

[Hook]
We ain't even squad
But you know it's going down
When you see another one from across the room
We ain't even squad
You might find it kinda odd
We give each other the nod
Watchu you gonna do
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
What you talking about? (aye)
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
What you talking about? (uh)
We ain't even squad
But you know it's going down
When you see another one from across the room
We ain't even squad
You might find it kinda odd
We give each other the nod
Watchu you gonna do
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
What you talking about? (aye)
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
Nothing left to say

[Verse]
First time that I got the nod
Didn't know what was going on
Friends ask "do you know him, bruh?"
I laugh hard as I tell em "no"
But I get it though (laugh)
In a room full of people
We the only kin-folk
Speak the same lingo
Even if we don't know
Each other
But you my brother
Just from another land
Different hustle
Same struggle
Man I understand
A form of communication
Started by generations
Oppressed and segregated
Forced into migration
To work on these plantations
Then killed with no hesitation
Civil rights revolution
Ended with assassination
So you now understand
Why we speak in code anytime we have a plan
So if you nod then you know I'll nod back
I gotchu like you got me cos we're both Black

[Hook]
We ain't even squad
But you know it's going down
When you see another one from across the room
We ain't even squad
You might find it kinda odd
We give each other the nod
Watchu you gonna do
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
What you talking about? (aye)
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
What you talking about? (uh)
We ain't even squad
But you know it's going down
When you see another one from across the room
We ain't even squad
You might find it kinda odd
We give each other the nod
Watchu you gonna do
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
What you talking about? (aye)
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
The Nod (the nod)
Nothing left to say
