Busta Rhymes - What Do You Do When You're Branded Lyrics
[chorus: busta - singing]Branded... scorned is the one who raaaanWhat do you do when your branded? and you know youre a man.Wherever you go, for the rest of your lifeYou must proooooove, youre a man[verse 1: busta]See now Im back wit the force, read about the kidFrom the front to the back of the sourceYou see me back on the courseScream on every beat untill my voice get crackled and horseFront seat niggas never sit in the back wit a boss***** the fact that it cost, the pricetag of the porcheWill cost ya life, have ya motha feel an immaculate loss*breath* but of course, come and speak to the bestAnd watch me spit a jewel sharper to carve the meat of your fleshYou lookin weak in the chest, you see the street is a testWomen on the stoop smokin holdin a seed to they breastYou see the street is a messStrugglin holdin a couple pounds of weed then the restNow 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 vestKill that nigga slow like how you get defeated in chessGot you under pressure--hairline receaded effectsHot air niggas I only feel the heat from your breath,Rap niggas beef in they album probably needed the pressAnd as a man I never found the slightest need to impressAnother man because Im proud and I believe that Im blessedBut yo I always found the need to adress these weaker niggasThat speak to the street always keepin the people abreastNow youve been branded...[chorus][verse 2: busta]Higher science and Im changin the crime in,Watch my son cuz youd be *****in wit the child of a giantIm 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 riotMy destinys the only thing between the sky and the pilot,Relate, its like bustin a 3-8Be late, I be takin most of the brick leavin a pile outta shapeI never quit watchin these niggas try to hide they mistake,Takin a shit watchin they body floatin by in the lakeMake 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 its o-k cuz super hero niggas die wit a cape,Its so great to watch them finally break, stand aside from the fakeStreet niggas gotta slide for the takeBein broke and not bein able to buy me a steakStackin my paper so see now I can buy an estate,So I rely on the love and I reply to the hateSo much pain in the struggle my whole bodyll ache...come on...From the gates, so awake that was the plan of my fateNow Im straight...got me my own knife and fork on my plateWanna scorch a debate, wait...do me a favor nigga jus rememberThe date...cuz you been...[chorus]
