Lyrics

Raw

[Hook]

You niggas ain't raw

I don't buy none a that bullshit you tellin' me

King you'll never be, I can see you niggas ain't raw

Hell naw, give a damn who you go and get

Real niggas know it we can notice that you niggas ain't raw

Even know now you 'posed to be down with so and so

Still the same lame from a year ago, I know you ain't raw

You ain't graduated with the gladiators, you just practice for the young assassinators

You know you ain't raw

[Verse 1]

Fuck that shit you tellin' us

I know you ain't shit as us

You ain't no competitor, that shit there ain't scarin' us

You bought ya self a slaughterin' a coffin's what you headed for

You ain't wanna die well nigga what you pull a weapon for?

Just cause we the niggas all of yo ho bitches checkin' for

And ain't nobody real niggas rather hear instead of us

You ain't out shinin us, you ain't out sellin' us

A lot of niggas do it don't nobody do it well as us

Hater wanna flex with us

Let em get vested up

Hit em with the choppa chest and up, bet I wet cha up

Let cha partna get cha up, ain't nobody catchin' us

But this some shit I'm bound to receive a lethal injection for

King of the whole thing, fuck whoever steppin' up

Give a damn who left behind, don't care about who catchin' up

Long as I'm alive, the second best you'll have to settle for

Come on now you really think you better, bruh

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

I got 44's glowing on a boat just goin'

This bitch, his bitch, and yo bitch blowin'

Young pimpin' get dough like his last name Cohen

My fan base spread and the shit kept growing

That what got me getting head in the vessel

Of the G4 again hook a hustle up with investors

Now there he go again

Twenty million later I guessin' it finally soakin' in

Unless you just a hater who mad at me cause he broke again

Sellin' all his jewelry considerin' sellin' dope again

Cuz he was ballin' out of control and posed to be focusin'

Wanna be the king by default they hopin' for openin'

Pray they see the day they hear me say I never flow again

But au contraire I guarantee one year after another they'll suffer as long as I'm here

Fear no man alive I don't care, you don't run shit nigga be clear

[Hook 2x]
