Busta Rhymes - What Do You Do When You're Branded lyrics

[Chorus: Busta - singing] Branded... scorned is the one who raaaan 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 proooooove, you're a man [Verse 1: Busta] 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 n***as never sit in the back wit a boss f** 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 j**el 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 n***as 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 k** that n***a slow like how you get defeated in chess Got you under pressure--hairline receaded effects Hot air n***as I only feel the heat from your breath, Rap n***as 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 n***as That speak to the street always keepin the people abreast Now you've been branded... [Chorus] [Verse 2: Busta] Higher science and I'm changin the crime in, Watch my son cuz you'd be f**in 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 n***as try to hide they mistake, Takin a sh** watchin they body floatin by in the lake Make it quick you weak n***as better try to escape, And create the quickest way to reach the fire escape. Snitch n***as always quick to go and lie on a tape, But it's o-k cuz Super Hero n***as die wit a cape, It's so great to watch them finally break, stand aside from the fake Street n***as 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 ache...come on... From the gates, so awake that was the plan of my fate Now I'm straight...got me my OWN knife and fork on my plate Wanna scorch a debate, wait...do me a favor n***a jus REMEMBER The date...cuz you been... [Chorus]
