[al:RAW]
[00:00.00]
[00:01.35]You motherfuckers are quick to judge.
[00:03.41]
[00:04.09]It's all good though.
[00:05.33]
[00:06.70]You don't know shit about shit.
[00:08.61]
[00:11.26]If you only knew what I do
[00:13.12]
[00:14.42]If you only knew what, I could do.
[00:15.69]
[00:17.19]If you could only see what I could see
[00:18.44]
[00:18.80]You would probably stop bothering me
[00:20.42]
[00:21.32]I independently started this shit
[00:22.88]
[00:23.15]Marketing hits, starving for chips
[00:24.80]
[00:25.05]No gasoline to start off the whip
[00:26.39]
[00:26.63]Felt like the only nigga labels wasn't bargaining with
[00:29.16]
[00:29.35]My heart has been ripped,
[00:30.14]
[00:30.35]I stuck with it as hard as it gets
[00:31.94]
[00:32.14]These producers would always blow me off
[00:33.98]
[00:34.15]Now that I'm blowing up, they don't recall
[00:35.81]
[00:36.10]Talking about "Yo, you my homie, dawg"
[00:37.93]
[00:38.21]Oh, now you wanna hop on the hop train
[00:40.33]
[00:40.52]Knowing damn well since '04 I had hot flames
[00:43.08]
[00:43.31]My real buddies was mainly the worst
[00:45.40]
[00:45.65]Hatin' to shoot my videos without me paying them first
[00:48.17]
[00:48.43]So I slide 'em 100 bucks to watch 'em bitch on how it ain't enough
[00:51.33]
[00:51.65]That money got my cell, internet and cable cut!
[00:54.10]
[00:54.57]A real homie would've gave a fuck
[00:55.99]
[00:56.20]And not expect to pay upfront
[00:57.44]
[00:57.63]Then get the money later when I'm making some
[00:59.43]
[00:59.79]Nobody saw the bigger picture except me
[01:02.00]
[01:02.05]They neglect me
[01:02.70]
[01:02.80]Only thing that protects me is FV
[01:04.88]
[01:05.68]You don't always have to stick by my side
[01:09.56]
[01:10.82]Just make sure you remember me when I die
[01:14.78]
[01:15.01]I am raw,
[01:16.00]
[01:16.45]I am raw,
[01:17.63]
[01:17.86]Just to let you niggas know
[01:20.09]
[01:20.31]Bitch I am raw,
[01:21.72]
[01:21.88]I am raw Don't forget me when I'm gone
[01:25.46]
[01:25.80]Bitch I am raw
[01:26.00]
[01:26.09]I was a high school grad preparing to go to college
[01:29.17]
[01:29.37]An enthusiastic freshman, major in Economics
[01:31.89]
[01:32.06]I didn't have a clue what to expect to be honest banging beats in my dorm, streaming pornhub constant
[01:37.56]
[01:37.66]I figured I could make it out in 4 years tops
[01:39.73]
[01:39.74]Study religiously and graduate, apply for a job
[01:42.40]
[01:42.62]The rap thing was secondary, I was putting it off
[01:45.11]
[01:45.29]Calling it quits, assuming "I have better chances playing golf"
[01:48.22]
[01:48.41]My third year came and suddenly that changed
[01:50.81]
[01:50.98]I couldn't bear watching my mom at home suffering pain
[01:53.34]
[01:53.49]Tryna fight off the strain of only having half a stomach
[01:56.00]
[01:56.30]Plus a handicap back from a surgery that helped nothing!
[01:59.23]
[01:59.40]So I returned to the valley and called the homie
[02:01.90]
[02:02.04]Hop was on Ruthless getting shelved like a trophie
[02:04.78]
[02:04.95]I told him howI left my life in the OC
[02:07.30]
[02:07.54]And we concluded we could both use FV
[02:10.03]
[02:10.59]You don't always have to stick by my side
[02:14.90]
[02:15.93]Just make sure you remember me when I die
[02:19.68]

[02:36.50]
[02:36.67]This was written for all the bitches
[02:38.28]
[02:38.30]I used to called who never hit me back
[02:39.60]
[02:39.76]Until they heard the word
[02:40.63]
[02:40.83]I was buzzin', c'mon don't give me that (shit)
[02:42.85]
[02:42.89]You backed out, now you tryna roll with my click?
[02:44.94]
[02:45.23]Where the fuck were you when my signing bonus was spent?
[02:47.80]
[02:47.98]Where the fuck were you
[02:48.95]
[02:49.00]When I got the notice for rent saying I was getting evicted and I was hopeless as shit?
[02:53.07]
[02:53.35]See I keep some names handy and you got thrown on the list
[02:55.78]
[02:55.95]That's how you know that I'm pissed
[02:57.16]

[02:58.73]
[02:58.88]Cause I'm rude over the nicest beats

[03:02.59]
[03:02.75]But yo I'm not the type you'd like to meet
