Raze It Up
Onyx Lyrics

Official Naz Takeover
Onyx is coming through

Yo, Yo, Official Naz Comin' Through betta raze it up
We're coming through and you better be ready to fight

All my hoods' on the block better raze it up
Everyone in the hood needs to be ready to fight back

All my peoples locked up better raze up
Those in prison need to stay strong despite their situation

You better raze it up
Everyone needs to be prepared to fight

Yo Yo
Attention grabber

Lyrical Assault
Onyx is bringing a verbal battle

Mics outlined in chalk
Rap battles can turn deadly, evidenced by the chalk outlines of participants

Gun Talk, homicide in New York
Talk of gun violence and murder is prevalent in New York

Caught a raw deal, horror Amityville
Being dealt an unfortunate situation can be horrific, like the Amityville horror

Hand me the steel, breathe in ya' man to get killed
Pass me the gun, knowing I could kill your man with one breath

Put a knife to the love of ya' life,
Using violence against those we love is possible in this world

Put a slug in ya' wife
Acting violently towards your spouse is not only possible but happens

Blood on ya ice
The aftermath of violence can be grisly

Mud on my knife
Evidence of the violence and murder committed with the knife

Drug price, chain snatch cocaine crack
Violence and drugs are interconnected

Goin they jacks with the gat blow ya brains back
Using guns in carjackings is a violent and deadly crime

Switchin' lanes and drop vests
Driving and changing lanes while wearing bulletproof vests to avoid violence

Blow the top of the jet
Destroying airplanes with violence and explosives

Cock and wet you rocked for death
Preparing your gun and getting ready to kill someone

Driveby's pain in eyes painting black lines
The pain and damage of drive-by shootings is devastating

All the way live
This is happening right now and in person

Guns in the sky
Using guns as a threat of violence

Move and die
Acting out of turn or in the presence of violence could lead to death

Survivin' niggaz leave you left for death
Survivors are living reminders of violent encounters with death

One in ya head
A single bullet to the head can end someone's life

Runnin from Feds
Fleeing from the authorities after committing violent crimes

Drugs under ya bed
The intertwining of drug use and drug trafficking with violence

Crime kills blast rhyme skills like nine mills
Committing crimes and being immersed in a violent environment can negatively impact one's creative output

So nigga dead
Violence will lead to someone's death

Cuz I kill so what
I am capable of killing someone, without remorse

Where my real thugs at you betta' raze it up
Calling out for those who are ready to fight and commit violent acts

All my villains with the checks you betta' raze it up
Those with money obtained through illegal and violent means need to be prepared to fight back

If you don't wanna get wet you betta' raze it up
If you don't want to get shot/stabbed then be prepared to fight back

If you from the projects you betta' raze it up
Those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds need to be ready to fight against the violence thrust upon them

Right NOW, we gonna hit you up with the joints like BOW
We're about to engage in violence and attack you

Blast nasty
Engage in violent acts extremely fiercely

Fight pow
Fighting and violence are imminent

Styles takin' you to the bank
This style of rap has been profitable and continues to be so

Me crew always pack shanks??
Members of the crew always have knives

Lick that clit in a 600 Benz tint
Engaging in sexual acts in a fancy car

These degrees is hot
Onyx's rhymes are impressive and powerful

MC's get got
Other rappers get taken down by Onyx

Comin ta tangle from wild angles
Onyx is fighting from a nontraditional perspective

Get mangled
Others will get badly hurt or killed

Buck fifty game is blow you
Scarring someone's face with a razor blade, a common violent act

Till ya moms won't know you
The extent of violence can mean unrecognizability to loved ones

It take 2 cheap niggaz just to sell you
Violence breeds and supports more violence

Its arrested then, me and my crew
If caught, Onyx and their crew would get arrested for their violent acts

It won't be beautiful,
Not a pretty sight to witness or endure

All that shit you talk is new to who, believe that
Onyx doesn't believe the things you say and isn't afraid

Words hit you like a semi-gat
Onyx's words can be just as deadly as a semi-automatic gun

Any act, unaccordingly wait, gimme that
If someone acts out of turn, Onyx will retaliate with violence

So core tight it was house
The core group of Onyx is so tight-knit and strong that they function like a household

Complicated in death
The complications and consequences surrounding violence are grave

Me and my killas still here
Onyx and their crew survive despite being killers

And yo ass is out
Others aren't strong enough to survive in Onyx's world of violence

We up out the gutters
Onyx and their crew came from humble and violent beginnings

And let you get touched
Onyx won't hesitate to engage in violence with others

Its such, blood rush
Being violent creates a rush of adrenaline and a heightened state of arousal

Madman, tear down stages
Onyx are crazed, destructive performers

Ain't nobody dead or alive who could get with me and my rages
No one can compete with Onyx's level of violence and anger

Throw my clip in a gat and I'm sick of this yap
Putting a new clip into a gun and being fed up with talking about violence

And I'm ready to bust a cap
I'm willing to engage in violence and shoot someone

And if you happen
If you cross my path

Ya niggaz will get shot fuck the rap
I will shoot you and not care about the consequences or legal ramifications

Get ya ass kicked
I'm not afraid to use violence to physically hurt someone

Set you up or get you blasted
I will either trick you or attack you with overwhelming force

Closed gasket
The extent of violence might mean a closed casket funeral

I'm the bald headed bastard
Describing oneself as a ruthless, violent person

Black dust gave me black lungs
Context unclear, could suggest that violence and aggression has caused irreversible damage to Onyx's body

I pack guns
Onyx is always armed with guns

Im used to action like dodgin' bullets over crack funds
Onyx is used to the violent atmosphere surrounding drug-dealing and drug-use

Reaction!
Reacting with violence and aggression

Blaze the mack 10
Shoot with a Mack 10 gun

Shogun
A reference to a samurai weapon, suggesting Onyx's martial prowess

I could spot the sheisty villains cuz it take one to know one
Onyx can identify others who are violent or shady because they have those same tendencies themselves

Remove my mask and reveal myself
Taking off one's mask and revealing their true, violent self

Heal Myself,
Describing taking care of oneself, physical or mental

If I was you I would kill myself
The violent, hostile environment Onyx exists in would be unbearable for some, giving rise to suicidal thoughts

So play dead eyes stay red
Acting like you're dead, while still being enraged and violent

Spray lead
Shooting lots of bullets

I'm way fed and ain't leavin without they head
Onyx is in a violent and vengeful state

Son holders they bout to get roughed up what
Others are about to get beat up violently by Onyx

East coast West coast you betta' raze it up
Violence is everywhere, and you need to be ready

What?!
Attention grabber

Word Up Raze it Up
Onyx is invoking people to be ready to fight

We doin it with a cutie c'mon bounce bounce bounce
Violent acts can still be carried out in a playful or sexual manner

C'mon word up raze it up
Continuing to ask and encourage for people to fight back
