What Do You Do When You're Branded

Branded

Scorned is the one who ran (I need y'all to listen to this)

What do you do when you're branded (Listen), and you know you're a man?

Wherever you go, for the rest of your life

You must prove (Yea...), 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 hoarse

Front seat **** never sit in the back with a boss

Fuck the fact that it cost, the pricetag of the Porsche

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 smoking holding 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 **** Keepin it fresh

Though we must stay on the grind I superseded the stress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 **** slow like how you get defeated in chess

Got you under pressure--hairline receded effects

Hot air **** I only feel the heat of your breath

Rap **** beef in their 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 address these weaker ****

That speak to the street always keepin the people abreast

Now you've 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

Higher science and I'm changin the crime in

Watch my son 'cause you'd be fucking with 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 leaving a pile outta shape

I never quit watching these **** try to hide they mistake

Takin a shit watching they body floatin by in the lake

Make it quick you weak **** better try to escape

And create the quickest way to reach the fire escape

Snitch **** always quick to go and lie on a tape

But it's okay 'cause Super Hero **** die with a cape

It's so great to watch them finally break, stand aside from the fake

Street **** gotta slide for the take

Bein broke and not bein able to buy me a steak

Stacking 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 **** just remember

The date 'cause 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
