Uncut Raw
AZ The Visualiza Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No need for Lato's, pure straight out Bolivia
Peru, uncut baby, what?

Life is a struggle, that's why niggas I know stay on the juggle
Some hustle to double, others hug you to mug you
Poverty-stricken, they even turn a church kid into stickin
It seems sickenin, but what? Whatever makes the pockets thickin
Fuck police and no remorse for the beasts
that's lost on the streets, that pistol whip a priest for a crosspiece
Some lost sheep, runnin thru strips, thinkin of top dealers
Fillin Tek clips, wit 'cop killers' that could stop gorillas
Shovin a stubnose in buttholes, I'm nutso
skitzo, clepto, killin shit up throughout the metro
My thug essence will always keep me plugged with drug investments
Sketch my reference, takin papers considered preference
And violations will lead to kidnappin, decapitation
So what you're facin, is realism that's in activation
Livin off land with five honeys playin my hand
Me and fam, sippin off Guinness stout and eatin clams
It's all part of plans, a vet chillin in Tamps, West and Stans
Outta state connect, slugs, sex, drugs and grands

Hook:

What? For my Height niggas (Uncut)
Trife niggas (Raw), 25-to-life niggas

This is as, pure as opium, purified for street players to open em
space, like three els laced with coke in em
Shots awoken em, fake uniform takes the portion of
six trips, to young clips and killers coachin em
However though, fake ass niggas'll never know
Cos my method's perfected, I'm movin sceptic and never show
I'm soon to blow, stack doe, lay on the low
While I'm sippin Cristal, I mess with Long Island and Moe
A part of nature, me wan' acres in Jamaica
Puffin exotic trees without seeds rolled up in leaf paper
So exhale, cos if I don't live to tell
then fuck it, if well, I'll see the rest of y'all niggas in hell

Hook

So all my good fellas, heroin, coke and weed sellers
What the fuck cats can tell us if they ain't got bread to bail us?
Happy to survive, I haven't seen it all, Peter pay Paul
From the connivers to the livest, they crack fool
It's all war, the streets are filled up with guns galore
Plenty young for war, gettin their minds flunked and sore
Yo dun, cock the 4.....





Motherfuckers think we're playin, back em down
Holdin niggas for high stitches, what? What?

The Jeneral J.U.-ICE 2022

No matter how old I get in age, @1:01 to 1:12 is still the most impressive display of lyricism from any emcee to ever grace a microphone. Sosa snapped on that verse and I still have to rewind it and play it back over and over to this day just to comprehend how "ILL" AZ is on the mic. Without a doubt, definitely one of the best to be remembered and spoken about in his craft and profession and in the history of hip-hop music and culture!

Joel Jordan

A true MC his wordplay just a real lyricist he blessed us with Doe or Die 2 the game needed that glad to see AZ back outside doing his thing!!

The Jeneral J.U.-ICE 2022

@Joel Jordan Indeed!

Que Bree

The only one that comes close is The Late Great Big Pun! Dead in the middle of Little Italy Little did we know we know they Riddled to middle men who didn't do Diddily

Uddin165

Agreed, 25 years later I'm coming back and still blown away by it

Leopoldo Martinez

The force is strong with this one. One could even argue that AZ has a computer that tells him how to rhyme with incredible precision. I mean, come on, how can you not notice how much skill it takes to have his timing and consistency with lines. AZ truly shows his mastery of the Rubik's cube rhyme pattern here.  

Will Hurley

I definitely feel where you're coming from, I couldn't put it any better myself. 9.8/10 comment, just need a laugh in there and it's a perfect 10

Maudires

Leopold Martinez Facts! 💯

James Trebilcock

Antonio Herndez
