[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 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
  *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 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 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 adress these weaker niggas
  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 fuckin 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 niggas try 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 o-k 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...
    [Chorus]
