[Busta Rhymes - What Do You Do When You're Branded lyrics]
Branded scorned is the one who ran
What do you do when your branded
And you know you're a man?
Wherever you go, for the rest of your life
You must prove, you're a man
See now I'm back wit the force
Read about the kid
From the front to the back of The Source
You see me back on the course
Scream on every beat untill my
Voice get crackled and horse
Front seat niggas never sit in
The back wit a boss
Fuck the fact that it cost
The pricetag of the porche
Will cost ya life
Have ya motha feel an immaculate loss
Breath But of course
Come and speak to the best
And watch me spit a jewel sharper to
Carve the meat of your flesh
You lookin weak in the chest
You see the street is a test
Women on the stoop smokin holdin
A seed to they breast
You see the street is a mess
Strugglin holdin a couple pounds of
Weed then the rest
Now I proceed to the rest of
My niggas Keepin it fresh
Though we must stay on the
Grind I supersceded the stress
We always seem to finesse from
The East to the West
You Know we w-w-we keep the teflon
From the street to the vest
Kill that nigga slow like how
You get defeated in chess
Got you under pressure
Hairline receaded effects
Hot air niggas I only feel
The heat from your breath
Rap niggas beef in they album
Probably needed the press
And as a man I never found
The slightest need to impress
Another man because I'm proud and
I believe that I'm blessed
But yo I always found the need
To adress these weaker niggas
That speak to the street always
Keepin the people abreast
Now you've been branded
Branded scorned is the one who ran
What do you do when your branded
And you know you're a man?
Wherever you go, for the rest of your life
You must prove, you're a man
Higher science and I'm changin the crime in
Watch my son cuz you'd be fuckin
Wit the child of a Giant
Im in a place stuck between
Bein lovin and violent, voice switch
Becomin more of a threat when
I move subtle and silent
Then set it off to be the
Only one to quiet the riot
My destiny's the only thing between
The sky and the pilot
Relate, it's like bustin a 3-8 be late
I be takin most of the brick
Leavin a pile outta shape
I never quit watchin these niggas
Try to hide they mistake
Takin a shit watchin they body
Floatin by in the lake
Make it quick you weak niggas
Better try to escape
And create the quickest way to
Reach the fire escape
Snitch niggas always quick to go
And lie on a tape
But it's o-k cuz Super Hero
Niggas die wit a cape
It's so great to watch them finally break
Stand aside from the fake
Street niggas gotta slide for the take
Bein broke and not bein able
To buy me a steak
Stackin my paper so see now
I can buy an estate
So I rely on the love and I reply to the hate
So much pain in the struggle
My whole body'll achecome on from the gates
So awake that was the plan of my fate
Now I'm straightgot me my OWN knife
And fork on my plate wanna scorch a debate
Waitdo me a favor nigga jus REMEMBER
The datecuz you been
Branded scorned is the one who ran
What do you do when your branded
And you know you're a man?
Wherever you go, for the rest of your life
You must prove, you're a man
What do you do when your branded
And you know you're a man?
Wherever you go, for the rest of your life
You must prove, you're a man
See now I'm back wit the force
