[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 ^!$$%s never sit in the back wit a boss

$#&@ 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 ^!$$%s 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 ^!$$% slow like how you get defeated in chess
Got you under pressure--hairline receaded effects
Hot air ^!$$%s I only feel the heat from your breath,

Rap ^!$$%s 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 ^!$$%s
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 $#&@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 ^!$$%s try to hide they mistake,
Takin a %#@! watchin they body floatin by in the lake
Make it quick you weak ^!$$%s better try to escape,

And create the quickest way to reach the fire escape.
Snitch ^!$$%s always quick to go and lie on a tape,
But it's o-k cuz Super Hero ^!$$%s die wit a cape,

It's so great to watch them finally break, stand aside from the fake
Street ^!$$%s 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 ^!$$% jus REMEMBER

The date...cuz you been...

[Chorus]
