I Am Raw (feat. SwizZz)

[Intro]
 You motherfuckers are quick to judge. It's all good though. You don't know shit about shit. If you only knew what I do, if you only knew what I could do. If you could only see what I could see you would probably stop bothering me
 [Verse 1 - Hopsin]
 I independently started this shit
 Marketing hits, starving for chips
 No gasoline to start off the whip
 Felt like the only nigga labels wasn't bargaining with
 My heart has been ripped, I stuck with it as hard as it gets
 These producers would always blow me off
 Now that I'm blowing up, they don't recall
 Talking about "Yo, you my homie, dawg"(my nigga)
 Oh, now you wanna hop on the Hop train
 Knowing damn well since '04 I had hot flames
 My real buddies was mainly the worst
 Hatin' to shoot my videos without me paying them first
 So I slide 'em 100 bucks to watch 'em bitch on how it ain't enough
 That money got my cell, internet and cable cut!
 A real homie would've gave a fuck
 And not expect to pay upfront
 Then get the money later when I'm making some
 Nobody saw the bigger picture except me
 They neglect me
 Only thing that protects me is FV
 [Hook]
 You don't always have to stick by my side
 Just make sure you remember me when I die
 I am raw, I am raw
 Just to let you niggas know
 Bitch I am raw, I am raw
 Don't forget me when I'm gone
 Bitch I am raw
 [Verse 2 - SwizZz]
 I was a high school grad preparing to go to college
 An enthusiastic freshman, major in Economics
 I didn't have a clue what to expect to be honest
 Banging beats in my dorm, streaming Pornhub constant
 I figured I could make it out in 4 years tops
 Study religiously and graduate, apply for a job
 The rap thing was secondary, I was putting it off
 Calling it quits, assuming "I have better chances playing golf"
 My third year came and suddenly that changed
 I couldn't bear watching my mom at home suffering pain
 Tryna fight off the strain of only having half a stomach
 Plus a handicap back from a surgery that helped nothing!
 So I returned to the valley and called the homie
 Hop was on Ruthless getting shelved like a trophie
 I told him how I left my life in the OC
 And we concluded we could both use FV
 [Hook]
 You don't always have to stick by my side
 Just make sure you remember me when I die
 I am raw, I am raw
 Just to let you niggas know
 Bitch I am raw, I am raw
 Don't forget me when I'm gone
 Bitch I am raw
 [Verse 3 - Hopsin]
 This was written for niggas who wouldn't give me dap
 Niggas who told me that I had sissy rap
 This was written for all the bitches I used to called who never hit me back
 Until they heard the word I was buzzin', c'mon don't give me that
 You backed out, now you tryna roll with my click?
 Where the fuck were you when my signing bonus was spent?
 Where the fuck were you when I got the notice for rent
 Saying I was getting evicted and I was hopeless as shit?
 See I keep some names handy and you got thrown on the list
 That's how you know that I'm pissed
 I got you, don't even trip
 Cuz I'm rude over the nicest beats
 You had to go ignite the heat
 You might agree to beef, but yo I'm not the type you'd like to meet
 Life's indeed a journey that I have yet to finish
 Hopefully my career's something that will be epidemic
 You'll always know it's Hopsin the way I wreck a sentence
 Realness, I represent it
 Raw, I'm the definition
 [Hook]
 You don't always have to stick by my side
 Just make sure you remember me when I die
 I am raw, I am raw
 Just to let you niggas know
 Bitch I am raw, I am raw
 Don't forget me when I'm gone
 Bitch I am raw
