Stand On Principles

"Stand On Principles" Iron Cedar vs. Eminem (Battle Rap) Verse 1 Yeah, this Iron Cedar, I stand on principles, not gimmicks, You built a career off controversy, I built mine off living it. How you gonna preach and then switch when the spotlight flips? One minute standing tall, next minute biting your lip. How you gonna apologize while you're hiding in the closet? Trying to rewrite every chapter like the past ain't in your pockets. Boy, you sound funny, yeah, looking kind of goofy, How many different characters you played just to fool me? What, you confused? Let me clear it with a punchline, One bar'll hit so hard it'll reset your whole timeline. I remember that video, yeah, rocking that skirt, Battle rap's different—image can't hide the work. You say you don't like violence? That's a wild contradiction. Half your catalog is built around graphic descriptions. You rap about chaos, I'm talking survival. Difference is I lived mine—you just sold the recital. Hook I stand on principles, ten toes, never fold. Built from the cold where the winters turn your heart to stone. Minnesota nights, I survived what you wrote. You sold the story—I was living every note. Verse 2 Never seen you move weight, never walked my road, I only seen you touching piano keys in the studio. Difference between me and you is simple to explain, You studied pain—I survived the rain. Still remember nosebleeds from the freezing cold, Trying to make it out with my soul still whole. You joked about family, I protect my own. That's a code you can't buy, even sitting on a throne. I'm like a dog, untamed, ain't no leash on me, Real recognize real—that's the way I breathe. I don't need a billion fans to tell me I'm great, Respect is earned face-to-face, not by chart placement. You can keep the trophies, the records, the fame. I'ma keep my principles—that's forever my name. Iron Cedar standing tall, never switching my lane. When the smoke disappears, I'm the one that remains. Outro I'm built on honor, not hype. On principles, not popularity. Iron Cedar. Stand firm. Ten toes.
