Iron Mask

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
