What Do You Do When You're Branded Lyrics - It Ain't Safe No More... - Busta Rhymes

Branded, scorned as the one who ran 

What do you do when you're 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 until 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 

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 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 address these weaker niggas 

That speak to the street always keepin' the people abreast 

Now you've been 

Branded, scorned as the one who ran 

What do you do when you're 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 

I watch my son 'cuz you'd be fuckin' wit the child of a giant 

I'm in a place stuck between bein' lovin' and violent 

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 tryin' 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 okay '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 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 nigga jus' remember 

The date 'cuz you been 

Branded, scorned is the one who ran 

What do you do when you're branded and you know you're a man? 

Wherever you go, for the rest of your life, you must prove you're a man
