Iron Cedar — “Bag of Candy” (Intro) Yeah… Iron Cedar… Black Sheep Records… You know the name, you know the story. From the back row to the front stage… Times change. (Hook) I was sitting in the nosebleeds, watching from the dark, Now the lights hit me heavy when I step on the mark. You were up on the stage, everybody knew your name, Now the tables turned around, I’m the one bringing flame. Tell ’em move up front, don’t hide in the crowd, I want all the doubters where they can hear me loud. From the bottom of the map to the top of the game, Iron Cedar coming through, remember the name. (Verse 1) I see the little candy bags, the little sweet disguise, Everybody chasing hype with the glitter in their eyes. Little wannabes, co-sign refugees, Following the wave but they ain’t got the keys. I was in the back while you were looking down, I was building my foundation underneath this town. You had the spotlight, you had the stage lights bright, I was grinding in the shadows, trying to get it right. Now the story flipped, funny how the karma works, The ones that laughed first get reminded of the hurts. You used to walk past like I wasn’t even there, Now you watching every move like you’re stuck in my chair. I’m coming head first like a bull with the horns, Built from the struggle, built through the storms. I don’t need a throne, I don’t need a crown, I just need a microphone and a reason to tear it down. (Hook) I was sitting in the nosebleeds, watching from the dark, Now the lights hit me heavy when I step on the mark. You were up on the stage, everybody knew your name, Now the tables turned around, I’m the one bringing flame. Tell ’em move up front, don’t hide in the crowd, I want all the doubters where they can hear me loud. From the bottom of the map to the top of the game, Iron Cedar coming through, remember the name. (Verse 2) Cinco de Mayo, everybody celebrate, I’m bringing the flavor, putting food on the plate. No shortcuts taken, no handouts received, Everything I got came from what I believed. Life’s like a boomerang, everything comes back, Every word that you throw, every move that you make. I remember the days when they laughed at the sound, Now they asking how I built it from the ground. Old man told me, “Keep something when you can, Because tomorrow ain’t promised, better understand.” You might need it one day when the world gets cold, So I grabbed my chance and I took control. I ain’t chasing yesterday, I’m creating tomorrow, Turned my pain into power, turned my tears into armor. One life, one shot, gotta make it count, Iron Cedar climbing when they said I’d never mount. (Bridge) From the back seats to the front row, From the cold nights to the bright glow. They can talk, they can hate, they can doubt my name, But they can’t stop fire when it’s built from pain. (Final Hook) I was sitting in the nosebleeds, now I’m owning the stage, Every scar on my body is a chapter on the page. If you’re watching from the back, come closer tonight, See the fire in my eyes when I step in the light. Iron Cedar rising, no fear in my soul, Black Sheep Records, we’re taking control. The times have changed, now everybody knows, The one they ignored is the one that rose.
