[Verse 1: Conway the Machine]
Look, every Cuban link is at least a kilo
Verses by the Machine and the beat from Preemo (Preem)
I do it for the streets when I release a single
Know I'ma always keep it a C-note (A hundred, nigga)
The MAC in back of the Charger
My youngin line you up clean, you ain't gotta go back to your barber (Hahaha)
They love me for the fact that I'm actually harder
I probably sold crack to your mother and smack to your father (Cap)
Can't get to you, then we whackin' your daughter
Probably wrap her in a carpet, let her body go splash in the harbor (Splash)
Yeah, smokin' wax while I'm blastin' Tha Carter
I ain't never satisfied, so I have to go harder (Harder)
Story of my life, every chapter I authored
[Chorus: Conway the Machine & Scratches]
Yeah
Keepin' it raw, nothin' less or more
Keepin' it raw, nothin' less or more (Neck heavy as a bitch right now)
It's only right
[Verse 2: Conway the Machine]
Doctor Bird's rice and peas, the chicken is curry
Body on the pistol, the blicky is dirty
Two shooters by the door and they grippin' the thirty
That's why they both got fifty pointers like Mitchell and Murray (Ha)
Thought he was runnin' down, we clippin' him early (See)
They checkin' my release dates, them niggas is worried (Hahaha)
Caught me lackin' before, but it didn't disturb me
'Cause I just dropped another bag, I'm gettin' 'em buried (Good night)
You violate us, then you know it's beef
I'm from where the fiend clean your whole backyard just to smoke a piece (Uh-huh)
Lil' brother still keep the pole in reach
I tried to tell him, "Bro, you free" (Chill)
You already gave them crackers nine years of your life
That's four behind the wall, another five on post-release (Talk to 'em)
[Chorus: Conway the Machine & Scratches]
Keepin' it raw (But you know the streets), nothin' less or more (Yeah)
Keepin' it raw, nothin' less or more
It's only right
[Outro: Conway the Machine & Scratches]
Yeah, Machine, bitch
DJ Premier, you know this is for the culture
You know what I mean? Huh
This shit had to happen, nigga
You gotta have the illest MC
And the illest producer of all time
On the same fuckin' record
Doin' what we do best
Rest in peace Guru
Rest in peace Prodigy
Rest in peace ChineGun
Keepin' it raw (Rest in peace DJ Shay)
Keepin' it raw (Yeah), nothin' less or more
It's only right
