Poison Pen - The Branding Iron lyrics

[Verse 1: Breez Evahflowin'] Yo, we got “On the Mic” and ain't get off since ‘98 Put it down ‘cause there wasn't no time to waste Took the crown up in multiple rhyme debates Bakery-hot flow focused on signs and cake Combined vocals of force at a time When riding dick or underground was how brothers got lost The hand of the fam was the plan and the mission Stronghold the land through the brand recognition I thought about the image when we first began spitting Black Power fist mixed with Ben Grimm's mittens Mic-gripping with fortifications To ward off any and all thoughts of invasion I'm part of a nation. Individual campaigns Short of amazing. Make my squad a sensation My fam got a grip for fly jams Advance on France. Still, we big like, “I am!” [Hook 1: Breez Evahflowin'] Brick by brick, stone by stone. Still keep Keeping it on. Hell no, we won't leave it alone Laid back, sitting deep in a throne. Like the track Got me deep in a zone. Now let me tell you ‘bout the [Hook 2: Poison Pen] (x2) Strongholder rock. All y'all drop ‘Cause y'all not soldiers [Verse 2: Poison Pen] Yo, any cypher in the hood, you probably see ‘em From open mics to mom and pops to a coliseum And everything in between. “Top of the Food Chain” “Whodaf**kareyou” to “Between Dah Seams” If it's New York, it's Stronghold. If you ain't us You ain't sh**. Keep running your mouth You could monkey-walk in, dog. Guaranteed you're getting Fireman-carried out. I say that With the confidence of a card shark. In a knuckle game (On top) Of my hustle game, (On top) of my love for slang I ain't scuffed my knees to get here Just years, scars, and tears, hard liquor and beer Hood emcee battles turn to boxing matches Ambidextrous, we got this mastered. Stronghold! We got flows in surplus We beat your face into burgers. We back our words up [Hook 1: Breez Evahflowin'] Brick by brick, stone by stone. Still keep Keeping it on. Hell no, we won't leave it alone Laid back, sitting deep in a throne. Like the track Got me deep in a zone. Now let me tell you ‘bout [Hook 2: Poison Pen] (x2) Strongholder rock. All y'all drop ‘Cause y'all not soldiers [Verse 3: C-Rayz Walz] k** critics with the bricks and the LINAPS—that's how my fist rocket/rock it Go ‘head. Say something, exercise your dick pocket My clique's hot, control your stereos Full circle—now I'm a bowl of Cheerios And we've been getting busy, ock, before 50 dropped Grinding hard lock Conan in a titty spot Keep your Ditty Bop, boy. It don't make you bad It just makes me mad enough to k** bu*terflies humming in your abdomen Destined to win, took the best man crown, then Flooded the market and shut wetlands down Live in video, live on stage, we kick your a** On some Shanté sh**, Roxanne your staff Sting your face, birthmark your eyebrow with the red light Leave you out of mind, out of sight I know you got your SisQó sk**s up, exposed your thongs ‘Cause y'all a** and can't go song for song “On the Mic,” we the Strongest sh** out (Hold that) Don't tempt us to k** y'all and put more hits out Like, catch a cab, don't wait for the bus My gun's patient—you could wait for the bust (Blao) [Hook 1: Breez Evahflowin'] Brick by brick, stone by stone. Still keep Keeping it on. Hell no, we won't leave it alone Laid back, sitting deep in a throne. Like the track Got me deep in a zone. Now let me tell you ‘bout [Hook 2: Poison Pen] (x2) Strongholder rock. All y'all drop ‘Cause y'all not soldiers
