Song ID - Early 90s Hip Hop

I heard a song out the other night, I believe it's from the late 80s/ early 90s and I think it was popular back in the Pete Rock, Black Sheep, Nice N' Smooth days, it has that style anyway. It's a pretty fast song with a sampled ring modulated(?) chorus that goes something like this:

whatever you want
whatever you need
i am you and you are me

That could be completely wrong though, I wish I could sing it for you. I also think they mention Brand Nubian in the song but I can't find a song by them that matches this (yet).

Anyone know???

EPMD's "Crossover."

Doesn't Sermon also reference the White Cliffs of Dover in that song? God, that was one of the best singles of the early 90s glory days.

Thanks! I knew it wasn't too obscure.

I speak for the hardcore (ruff, rugged and raw)
I’m outta here, catch me chillin on my next tour
From the US to the white cliffs of Dover
Strictly underground funk, keep the crossover
