Iron Mask

Lyrics

Verse 1: Mar Var Yeah, I wear a red mask like the devil's face Trying to steal a chip off the devil's plate Hard to digest cause the shit burn He gotta deep cover, Laurence Fishburne Ain't no half stepping, Big Daddy Kane Have you assed out, Prince Purple Rain Yeah, so be true to yourself though In a fight with life give it your best blow You got one shot to do it So think wisely about the mask that you're using Might find a bump in the path that you're choosing Don't stop and cry just survive the moment Yeah, I unmask my opponents And dismantle their components Keeping it real is a token Put in the machine and see what it opens Hook: Jas Mace & Mar Var Yeah, it's the code that we live by Everyday try a different mask until we die There's a time and place for everything Just choose wisely the mask that you want to bring Yeah, it's the code how we live bitch Looking for a mask trying to find one that fit Yeah, the time's now in the place you're at So put your mask on and hope you make it back Verse 2: Jas Mace In every situation there's a different mask, a different face, a different hat But it's still Jas Mace and these masks ain't fake Even though they might change They're never two-faced they just adapt with the place (with the place) And metamorph in time, as it goes we get wiser People at my job don't recognize me on the flier (on the flier) Cause with them I keep a quiet mask They don't know I'm overseas signing autographs In a B-Boy mask the one I love most And keep it close like a gangsta with toast minus the yeast Aw please man, don't try to knock 'um (nah) Just take a look in the mirror you know you rock 'um A different person with your lady than you are with your folks (uh huh) A separate mask for your kids, parents, and your foes And the collection grows, as each year passes I even keep a stone face under the iron mask it's Hook: Jas Mace & Mar Var Yeah, it's the code that we live by Everyday try a different mask until we die There's a time and place for everything Just choose wisely the mask that you want to bring Yeah, it's the code how we live bitch Looking for a mask trying to find one that fit Yeah, the time's now in the place you're at So put your mask on and hope you make it back
