Raw Proof
Not a rapper, I'ma mic murderer, big dog you a cat burglar, I never heard of you bruh, Nameless nuisance, hangin' with a gang of stupid , don't you feel foolish tryna rearrange my blueprint, But you're bad with the hands no way to box me in, skills are rusty like iron when exposed to oxygen, this is not the 90's and I'm not in my 20's, you don't have to do the math to know I'm doing good and plenty people show respect, but don't assume I care, wear my work clothes in public fit in well with you illusionaires, mix nice with beats like wet mud and rock, concrete stand firm, burn when it pops, you gotta go hard or go back to the block, and I'm not movin' back in with my Mom or my Pops, rest in peace, my higher self inspire someone else, not tryin' to preach but I'll say a prayer for your health!
Chorus: Back to the basics - Everybody face it - Everything based off Love or Hatred - Back to the basics - I'm slightly wasted - Them beats don't bump and your rhymes don't say shit!!!

Its like one step, two step, crawl before you walk, think before you talk or get outlined in chalk, I'm not the one to balk when the shit gets dark, my Bruce Banner thoughts shock the whole block, with gamma radiation, Bush dead? We celebrating, bureau of investigation got our song on rotation, and they plotting for the framing, with their lame insinuations, when they're facing the American Gods, I'm Neal Gaiman, you get played like atari, drugged through the hood with a stick in your ass like Muammar Gaddafi, we the thugs in the lobby, deadly as Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe's socialist party, my high level rhymes change the paradigm, still catch a brother in the club with a pair of dimes, white chick, black chick, Pam Grier and Susie Chapstick, holding my money, I'm dirty bastard, merging jurasic, modern iconoclastic, psychological fabric, in every musical aspect, I keep it funky like a Prince song, rhyming with a white boy that look like Vince Vaughan, the shits on!
Chorus: Back to the basics - Everybody face it - Everything based off Love or Hatred - Back to the basics - I'm slightly wasted - Them beats don't bump and your rhymes don't say shit!!!

Raw Proof
I'm just a Blue Collar worker pulling white collar crimes cuz times is tough like the Bloody Harlan county in K.Y - Planned obselescence it's chess not checkers -I'ma market maven you won't catch me shopping wreckless - Investments and assets last debt paid in full but I ain't hurt a fuckin' soul or play no one like a tool - Instead of mixing school with religion - We need to mix business ethics with religion (No Politician) - Race color and creed it doesn't matter - Greed is the sin that left my father shattered - Self-made millionaire depressed and addicted - Bad balance between heart and mind that's the sickness - I can't relive this - I can't walk in them footprints - but I know my potential is full of independence - That's why things should be used and people should be cherished - and the CEO of your company is embarrassed - No merit - Puppet on the string or a carrot - Don't care where you came from but know how much you inherit -
Song and dance the foods that you eat - Health is wealth better find something better to believe in - Vultures are stalking your culture this evenin' - Demons with darken the days that you're dreaming of - The best math won't let you break even - Plus the IRS caught wind of what you scheming up...
Chorus: Democracy in chains that's the aim when you play the game (For WHAT!) Capital Gains x 4

I'm like Che Guevara, no bling on, maneuvers through the jungle, no king kong, the guillotine drops and the queen gone, real hip-hop, no sing song, legendary Ho Chi Minh, my name ring gongs! Thomas Sankara, salute the Afrikan martyr, we live in squalor, investors play with the dollar, roaches and rats where the niggas live, while they sniff coke off oak desks, playing derivatives, 2008 reflected 1929, its 1984 in our minds, 187 time! Before the last bubble pop on a HUD house, Ben Carson? That nigga sold out, he should be thrown out! On his fucking ear, let's get something fucking clear, get our backs or get sacked like a Buccaneer! My vitriol on a funky banger, cause there's plenty anger, even Christ fought the money changers, y'all want the mark on the palm and the forehead, I'm down with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, we've gotta tax the rich at 70%, and if this roof ain't fixed, we ain't paying the rent! That's democratic socialist economics, corrupt administration now singing like the Del Phonics, with prison sentences, wrist taps and penances, snipers at the roof, scoping at all entrances, to assail ya with drug paraphernalia, the jewel is to watch the news from Venezuela, I'm here to tell ya, you ain't gotta follow me, just acknowledge me when they seize the oil property

Raw Proof
They call me dirty filthy unclean and unfit - C'mon ya'll take a look at this environment - They don't like Muslums and Muslums don't like me - Comparing me to cops but I don't bother nobody - Just here trying to eat - And feed my seeds - But y'all won't let me sleep - Judge me by my feet -Pacin' in my stall todays the day they said that I'ma be hauled off but I don't even know the cause - And all I call family are with me - Leaving the farm passing through a bunch of cities - Probably saw us I know we saw ya'll paused at a red light ya'll was playin' on ya phones - I was shittin' in my draws feelin' sick - They prod and they pricked till they got us up off their ship - Now I can tell that we have arrived - To our final destination and we probably won't survive - They shocked and they gassed and they killed my fam. right in front of my eyes - But that's not my demise - Kickin' and I'm screamin' and I let a wail out - Wish my fam. from the South would come and bail me out - But no ones comin' - I'll be damned if I stay in this dungeon - I broke loose and started runnin' - Away from the chains - Away from the grave away from the barb wired fence that kept us all enslaved....

Ever been locked in a box so small you can't move in, forced to eat your bowel movements, intravenously injected with growth hormones to your dome, no family and no home, fowl homicide, chicken genocide KFC to Kroger, pop wings from bird shoulder, fry the evidence, rotisserie bulb light bright, sheer the skeleton, refrigerate flesh then check, see the gelatin? This ain't a game being game for human consumption, they'll even eat your brains, it ain't nothing, try to stay clucking, kicking my feet, hope for release, daydreams that I fly like geese, then back to reality, I'm nothing but poultry, living solely for the reason of them killing me slowly.....

With da nerve to say we mad, biped please mankind been beefin' wit bovine throughout time...Once revered as devin, now treated no better than swine,a murderous operandi of barbaric design..Systemic elimination of my kind, genesis wit an add campaign this hate is worldwide..Humans done evolved out of they minds, separate our women from our children so they can homogenize...Behind mass propaganda the animal hides, top of the food chain so we forced to fall in line...Now it's wow how now wow how wow brown cow, the motherland is the second largest exporter now..How can you praise me and sell me how, raised and adorned in Nepal but now..A trade or commodity arrow on the dow, the greener grass is the path to the slaughter house..Vicious repetition they never raise a brow, turn the other cheek to have that cheek cut out..Five to eighteen till I'm finished then I'm out, enter the next victim of the bolt pistol pow...Holy cow pain raised in da feed lot foul, trapped in the grind and the steaks is high....Evil entrepreneurs profit of empires, paired wit fries society turns a blind eye

Eddie B.
I got a rocket in my pocket don't make me pull that sh!t out - I cock it and lock it I'm always ready no doubt - Spark your brain cells straight to hell and back out - I'll blow your back out while I perform to a packed house - I'm past your capacity as I rip mics up nastily - Happily murder your style yet you have the audacity - To pick up a mic anytime you're rapping after me - Deep thoughts overload and explode your brain cavity - Don't you attack cause I'm packing the mack in the back of me I'm all over the map - So there's no way to keep track of me - Drive by in my caddy haters dream about jacking me - So fresh and so clean while your whips looking raggedy - It's a tragedy but it had to be done I ain't the one son - Everywhere I go I carry more than one gun - Two guns three guns enough to function - He's not armed? Don't make that assumption.....

Reality bites - From the inside out - We walk about in a world where people murder for clout - Throw it out on 8 chan - Darwin awards the new ape man Flying in the highest of heights - In outer space cans - Oligarchs owning Twitter - People are bitter - The metadata in your phone is your babysitter
The states digging even deeper

Suicide rate on the rise - Inflation wearing the disguise of war - The broken chain of supplies - Crypto digital currency got the feds shook - Missing' out on tax money played off the books - But they are the crooks - That's the point of conception - The central bank aint nothing but their biggest fuckin' weapon

Creating somethin' out of nothin' that's the essence of it all and they do that with the issues that only they can solve - I'd put a gun in your palm if you knew how to use it - But most of us woke folks aint pursuing revolution
Digital overload - Witches with crossbows - A president over 80 years old - Is that the code or the coda? Range rover price with bad motor - Vodka with the club soda - White supremacists in North Dakota - Plotting global take over - When capitalists - Remain the real cause - Avoid the new world holocaust
Far from living in tune with the planet we inhabit - Just now figured out electric is better than the gases - It's all bad as population exponentially grows - The bottom line is still the dollar for the CEOoOs

Raw Proof
Back to the basics
Everyone face it
Everything based off love or hatred
Bang that sound bring it back to the basement
Raw Proof
Now! There ain't no replacement
All truth
Pow! Gonna leave your face bent
Vital styles gonna change where the game went
Y'all lose power with each and every statement I make no debate call it fate kill the fake raise the stakes cut the brakes what it takes for the place to erase and eradicate the enemy we leave no trace
Later we can pay for the penalties
Right now I need you to follow me
Keep up with the pace of the movement
Keep it movin'
This is how we do it
Say what'cha think
Think what'cha say when ya do what'cha say
Really get into it with no delay
That's how I was raised
Seen brighter days
Have all the answers
But the problem stays
So we kick down doors
Create opportunities
Fluently
Fluid we
Ruin thee
Who to be
Stupidly
Choose to speak
Foolery
Jewelry used to be cool to me
Now it's a tool to me
Who see's the truth so crystal clear
Back in tact and the missions clear
Rappers are role models insecure
Fathom the fans they pretend to care
Madhouse move like the military
I'm sittin' near with a pistol here
Better yet call it a fist of fear
Rappers better get their sh!t in gear
Best believe half of what you see
And everything that you fuck!n' hear
SK9: Strick-9
Back to the basics spaceships low-top Asics
Eminem and Dr. Dre shit
Muhammad Ali rap I'm the greatest
Smack my bitch up
Rhyming sadist
Never been a sucker for the instigators
They lost their minds
They inclined to hate us
Couldn't see the brothers as the inspiration
When we the gods of the dispensation
Jason Pinhead Michael Myers
Rap messiahs
New cars, Kicked tires
Dope suppliers
Griselda Blanco - AC OJ -powder white Bronco
Me and Proof - Lone Ranger Tonto
Talking 'bout Bass Reeves - Powerful black seeds
Known to stack G's - Monthly inventory
Competitors get shot down - End of story...
Don't - Don't hurt me again -
You got the sword I got the sharp pen
The king is here bow down when I walk in
3 out of 4 I'm the one like Ben Grimm (Ben Grimm)
Don't let me Fl🔥me on
Make you Invisible* expand your name on
(On what?!) The obituary column
Man verses man and you're just a damn Gollum
And that's far from a bro but I know the YZ when the road covered with snow
It don't matter how high it's gonna melt like the pop pop thing in a drive by
And the dogs is Iditarod
White girl lay on the scale like Pat Bennatar
I eat her like Lecter the best of the sector
Respect the barchitecture of Defter
