Raw Songtext
von Big Daddy Kane

Here I am, R-A-W

A terrorist, here to bring trouble to phony MCs
I move on and seize
I just conquer and stomp another rapper with ease
′Cause I'm at my apex and others are below
Nothing but a milliliter, I′m a kilo
Second to none, making MCs run
So don't try to step to me 'cause I ain′t the one

I relieve rappers just like Tylenol
And they know it, so I don′t see why you all try to front
Perpetrating a stunt
When you know that I'll smoke you up like a blunt
I′m genuine like Gucci, raw like sushi
This age of rage is what rap did to me
To make me wanna create chaos and mayhem
Cold rock a party until the A.M


I'll make a muscle, grab the mic and hustle
While you stand dazed and amazed I′ll bustle
Little rhyme with authority, superiority
Encaptivate the whole crowd's majority
The rhymes I use definitely amuse
Better than Dynasty or Hill Street Blues
I′m sure to score, endure for more without a flaw

'Cause I get raw

I give a speech like a reverend, rappers are severing
And in my lifetime believe I've never been
Beaten or eaten and just tooken out
You know, come to think about it
I keep MCs looking out and real nervous

When I′m at your service
So give me that title, boy, you don′t deserve this
I work like a slave to become a master
And when I say a rhyme, you know that it has to
Be perfectly fitted 'cause I′m committed
The entertainer and trainer and Kane'll get with it

I go and flow and grow to let you know

I damage ya, I′m not an amateur
But a professional, unquestionable, without doubt superb


So full of action my name should be a verb
My voice will float on every note
When I clear my throat, that's all she wrote
The minute that the Kane starts to go on
Believe it′s gonna be smooth sailing so on
As I put other rappers out of their misery

Get 'em in a battle and make them all history
Ruling and schooling MCs that I'm dueling
Watch ′em all take a fall as I sit back cooling
On my throne with the bronze microphone

God bless the child who can hold his own
′Cause I get raw

24-7 Chilling, killing like a villain
The meaning of raw is ready and willing
To do whatever is clever, take a loss never
And the rhymes I bust coming off as a must
And I come off hard with rhymes that are odd

I rip the microphone and leave it scarred
Never smoking or hitting or taking a sniff
Only crushing MCs that be trying to riff
I get strong and titanic, do work like a mechanic
Make MCs panic, they all get frantic
And skeptic like a girl on a contraceptive
As I rock, but hey, what you expected?
I'll get raw for you just like a warrior
Rather like a samurai and I′ll be damned if I
Ever let a Fisher Price MC hang

Their rhyme's a toy, nothing but yin-yang
So if we battle on the microphone
Bring your own casket and tombstone
And I′ma preach your funeral
Tell me who in the world could ever come with more
I get raw
