Raw Uncut (Louie Vega Remix) [feat. Koffee]

This message will not be televised

You will not hear it on Fox 5

It will not be on mainstream media

Because it's too raw, uncut, hardcore

They came to the flowetress with this Gil Scott-Heron disc

And said, "We need you to deliver this"

Raw, uncut, hardcore

Exposing the sheep from the G.O.A.T

The cutthroats, the snatch-your-pocketbook folks

The car thieves, the crooked police

I'm exposing your ass too

Corruption from these we are told to trust

Raw, uncut, hardcore

Good women pushed to the side, I'd rather die dignified

Glorifying hoes, sliding down poles

No respect for your own body, but expect a man to uphold

Brainwashed behavior

And it don't matter how good the money

You're playing roulette with your body, honey

See, we already been scrutinized

Disrespected and victimized

Brought here based on lies

They can't even understand the tears we cried

Refuse to accept responsibility for taking our ancestors' lives

We were smart enough to build this land

And can't even get a helping hand

Pay attention to the results of the revolution

The continued hate from some folks that made the Constitution

Fake president elections

Politicians with suspicions and doomed by their own emissions

The haters, the perpetrators, the false legislators

The down-low Black haters

Raw, uncut, hardcore

The revolution will not be televised

Because they introduced dope, coke, crack to the throat

Brought over guns, raped our daughters and killed our sons

Taught us this bullshit we didn't even know

And some of us became so blinded

The results of the revolution is the only thing we know

Uncut, hardcore

The hate women share toward one another is deep

Jealousy, envy, unnecessary conceit

Yet you claim you one of God's sheep

The sisterhood is now rejected

And there was a time when it was much respected

Uncut, hardcore

Shame to those who weren't born insane

But allowed drugs to destroy the brain

The ratchet, the lazy, the don't-want-to-work

Having baby after baby

Some of the reason why they justify treating us so goddamn shady

So we all receive the condescending title

Lowlife, them folks, ain't going nowhere

Hanging on the corner jokers, you people

Disrespecting the illegals, gangbanging

It's time to unite

Let me repeat that line

Gangbangers, it's time to unite

Put down those guns and stop the Black-on-Black crime

Our ancestors turning over in their graves

Brokenhearted on what they went through and how we behave

Bringing down the neighborhood

Smiling like we understood

Picking fights over drugs, scheming with thugs

Setting up your friends you claim you love

In-jail snitches

For little snacks, you become bitches

Raw, uncut, hardcore

This will not be televised

You will not see this on Fox 5

Because it's too raw, uncut, hardcore

Raw, uncut, hardcore
