Born makes more sense.

it's definitely "word is bond", although obv Run-DMC had a song called "Word is Born", soooooooooo
― Neanderthal, Monday, 22 July 2013 02:44 (eleven years ago) link
it's both and they have different meanings

word is born = "i just wanted to say i have been otm in this thread"word is bond = well, word is bond

The opening line of EPMD's "I'm Housin'" -- "Coolin' on the scene like a horse in a stable" -- is like the opposite of this. Heard it a million times but never noticed it started with such a weird-ass line.

"Word is Born" vs. "Word is Bond" was an Important Debate during my high school years. I think of "Word is Born" as being like "And thus it was written" or maybe "QED"

I don't know Word is Born outside of the Run DMC track but Word is Bond is from the Five Percenters:
Five Percenters were the innovators behind early hip-hop slang, including "'sup, G?" (originally "G" means God, not gangsta), "Word is bond," "Break it down," "Peace," "droppin' science," and "represent."

Not banal in content, but Drake's delivery of "Last night I tried some raw oysters" really puts it in this category IMO.
