[Verse 1]
Yo' G,W,I,see, Won't y'all come fuck wit me
While I lay, get chased, catch, and cash tha check
Stomp niggas out take respect
Wit a sawed off shotgun, hand on tha pump
I sips on grey goose, smokin on tha blunt
I fucks wit this broad she do what I want
I fuck her real slow, she like when I pump
I be on my block done, I do what's I want
And an' nigga dat front, I do what's I want
I shoot and don't blink, I lay you out in tha street
I mean I'm fuckin wit dem niggas dats ?
and blaze when they ? shit, dats evident

It's ill will and y'all niggas ?, I shoot to kill

[Verse 2]
You could put on dat vest, I'ma shoot ya in tha head
Won't aim for tha chest, Bet you won't survive
Ten hollow tips out my crome fo' five
I got to drop on you, element of surprise nigga
what you want to do, I really see dead people
I got the nine millimeter, I could make ya face see-through
Transparent, potholes in ya melon, damaged from tha ratchet
Happens if you tellin, Jungle'll live by the morals of tha street
Not like snitch CJ, or bitch Jay-z, and beef from niggas

Two us now put they body in tha garbage
y'all niggas pussy we BraveHearted

Brave,Brave,Brave,Brave,Brave, BraveHeart (tell 'em)
Wiz, Wi, Wi, Wi, Wiz, BraveHeart

[Verse 3]
My name is ?, I come from the past
Wit insects crawlin on me like I'm dead
I don't eat I just fast, I don't beef I just ?
Blood in my palm, I left tha cross only white nuns
soaked up tha offerin, black ? ones dressed up like bush
identical mass, I fuck 'em hard wit a sinister laugh
Then puff on a cigar, like Tony Matana
Me and Sony got problems, if I die they say I'm only a modist
To me I'm braver, do me a favor, put you on my ?
you could be paid, the label puts you in my place
I'm jewish, like Sammy Davis Jr
Holdin a louie suitcase wit ? and ? chopped in pieces
Now I'm locked up wit phsycos who eat they feces
Call the Hearts break me out and I'll reveal deep secrets
Bout the street shit dat y'all so obsessed by
I rep my niggas till tha death while tha rest slide
Or rest die,Brave

[chorus]
Brave,Brave,Brave,Brave,Brave, BraveHeart (tell 'em)




Wiz, Wi, Wi, Wi, Wiz, BraveHeart

Overall Meaning

The song "Bravehearted" by Bravehearts featuring Nas is a gritty, street-inspired track that speaks about living life on one's own terms, even if that means breaking the law or engaging in violent behavior. The song opens with the singer inviting listeners to come "fuck wit" him while he brags about his ability to "catch and cash tha check" and stomp out anyone who disrespects him with a sawed-off shotgun. He also notes that he drinks Grey Goose and smokes blunts, and has a woman who will do whatever he wants, sexually. The chorus repeats the phrase "Braveheart" as a sort of battle cry, affirming the singer's fearless and bold attitude.


In the second verse, the singer suggests that he will aim for the head rather than the chest if he wants to kill someone and boasts about having a "drop" on his enemy for an "element of surprise." He also references his ability to make people's faces transparent and filled with potholes from his gunshots, and derides other rappers like Jay-Z for being "bitches" who only play defense. Finally, in the third verse, the singer introduces himself as having come from the past, with insects crawling on his body, and claims to be so fearless that he doesn't eat or "beef" with anyone. He talks about carrying around "Israelite" teachings and insinuates that he has committed murder, going as far as to say that he is locked up and will only reveal "deep secrets" if the Bravehearts break him out.
