Hip hop is raw as ever 
And it's reflected in the streets that's raw as ever 
And it's a western  my little man's 11  carry nines for protection 
Rock the heavy shit along with the butter  pelle pelle shit 
Said he get his ones from number runners and dice runners 
For a kid so much younger  that's some heavy shit 
For sure  shorty's lifestyle is quite raw 
He been doing his thing since the year before 
He claim he don't seing no more, the game will kill him 
But his game is still aiming for a million, i feel you 
But check me, i'm trying to eat this meal, too 
And those that shitted, peep they grill when i peel, too 
And it'll remain on my brain just like pictures 
Or photos of naked bitches, or all those that i gave the business 
His lifestyle's a sickness, told him how to witness alive 
To testify against these streets 
He flipped the script, said "god, what's up with the rhymes and beats? 
Last album was banging, but these crabs fell asleep" 
And since we on the topic of hip-hop, these nondescript niggas got 
This rap shit hotter than hot 
Is it a plot or not? i said, "who knows?" anyways 
We blaze the chocs for poppa and pop, they say that 
Hip-hop is raw as ever 
And it's reflected in the streets that's raw as ever 
Cause it's a western, the music is dirty cause the streets is unclean 
Little lady, 16, flip styles like mixed greens 
She's out for the cream and the power, shit is real 
She back up drills on the school hours 
And after that, she transport the crack in her knapsack 
And where's this ever going to lead? i meant to ask her that 
But she won't listen, they got her wilding and fipping 
Plus they got her giving up the nappy kitten 
Body banging like the frame on an expedition 
Plus she's dipped, so if your game ain't tight, she'll catch you slipping 
At first the young earth did it for her seed 
But now she turned into the first part, now she does it for greed 
I told her, we need the sister to make the mister 
I dropped a jewel to uplift her, and she claimed i dissed her 
Hip-hop is raw as ever 
And it's reflected in the streets that's give the feedback, believe that 
I've seen that on these back streets, my fat speech 
Got me slipping through the cracks plus track backs on mad fix 
Victor fell in, so i tell him leave the crime alone 
Strictly yelling never leave the rhyme alone 
Let your mind zone, but if not, i'm laying low with shit cocked 
Playing no games, i want more albums than kris got 
Hip-hop is raw as ever 
But it's reflecting the streets that's raw as ever, cause it's a western 
Hip-hop is raw as ever 
But it's reflecting the streets that's raw as ever, no question
