This song dives headfirst into the murky territory of self-sabotage, mental health and vulnerability. But this isn’t some moral sermon. Instead, RAW plays out as a conversation, a push and pull with a loved one who delivers the hard truths.

Lyrics:
Summer nights,
Winter days,
Can't see the light,
Don't know my name,
And I'm so tired, ill, afraid,
Living a lie,
There's no escape.

Wrestling the demons inside
It's like RAW
Wrestling the demons inside
It's like RAW
Wrestling the demons inside
It's like RAW
Wrestling the demons inside
It's like RAW

Wrestling the demons inside it's like RAW,
Run but there's nowhere to hide
I can't stop,
Gone like a thief in the night
Who take off,
If it rains know a flood gonna rise
I play god.
She's like 'why you tryna sabotage?
Got the world in the palm of your hand
And you pass it off.
Plus you shine too bright to be blending in,
So why you walk around in your camouflage?
Yeah why you tryna fuck it up?
I know things be weighing on your mind
So you lift it up,
But you always end up coming down,
And you been on this shit for days, when is it enough?'

Summer nights,
Winter days,
Can't see the light,
Don't know my name,
And I'm so tired, ill, afraid,
Living a lie,
There's no escape.

Wrestling the demons inside
It's like RAW
Wrestling the demons inside
It's like RAW
Wrestling the demons inside
It's like RAW
Wrestling the demons inside
It's like RAW

And I can see my face in a scary place,
Too much on my plate that's like every day,
Trip to outer space don't know where it take,
‘Nah this is madness’
She like 'come on you can't tell me you're content with average.'
I said 'really baby I was born to be a savage,
I can live without a shower
I don't need a mattress,
All these material objects are extra baggage.'
'Huh,' she said 'you're smart but you're dumb as fuck,
You waste your time every time and you push your luck,
Getting faded and then feeling rough,
So don't ask me why you're always falling in a rut.'
Damn.

Summer nights,
Winter days,
Can't see the light,
Don't know my name,
And I'm so tired, ill, afraid,
Living a lie.

Wrestling the demons inside
It's like RAW
Wrestling the demons inside
It's like RAW
Wrestling the demons inside
It's like RAW
Wrestling the demons inside
It's like RAW

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Okay, this a special occasion
Let’s make a toast, everybody’s glasses is raisin’
I wanna take this moment to express appreciation
‘Cause we blessed to be alive, so tonight it’s a celebration

[Verse 1]
Leveling up is the topic of conversation
Speak it into existence when we talk in manifestation
And I’ve been patient
But this time around, I won’t let anyone or anything get in my way

Just know I’m on that type of time in any time of day
And they know I’m here to win any time I come to play

You ain’t Hugo Boss, you more like a Calvin K
You Chipotle, I’m more Gordon Ramsay anyways

I sharpen knives inside my kitchen
Cutting through the nonsense when I’m making an incision
Tupac Shakur, the way I’m riding with ambition
I’ll ask for forgiveness before I ask for permission

[Chorus]
‘Cause we going up, going up
They ask me where I’m going, I say going up
Now we blowing up, blowing up
The flow explosive, yeah, you know we blowing up

Okay, I pull up on your girl and now she going nuts
Said she never did this before, she know what’s up
We going up, going up
They ask me where I’m going, I say going up

[Verse 2]
Going up like crypto, pockets fat, hippo
Always on the move on your mark ready set go
Platinum and Nexco, mommy, dimey, beso
No breaks, all gas, moving fast straight

Back then, I used to catch the metro
Now we cashing and stashing checks on checks, yo

Ayy, I got the sauce, no pesto
30 open tabs while I sip on my espresso
So many things to do, such little time
Better set the table, we hungry, it’s dinner time

Juggling the hustle while I’m crafting out these lines
Got it off the muscle, every move is by design

If they needed a reminder, no I’m never slowing up
They talking like they winning, but they never showing much

Got them slowing down when they see me showing up
I could do this with my hands tied and both my eyes shut

[Chorus]
We going up, going up
They ask me where I’m going, I say going up
Now we blowing up, blowing up
The flow explosive, yeah, you know we blowing up

Okay, I pull up on your girl and now she going nuts
Said she never did this before, she know what’s up
We going up, going up
They ask me where I’m going, I say going up

Hey I’m Zips, a music enthusiast and frequency influencer from sunny Miami, FL. 

I’ve had the pleasure of being credit as an audio engineer for  some incredible artists, including hip hop legends Lil Wayne and Fat Joe. I also produce music for the talented Memphis artist Don Trip, who was recognized as a 2012 XXL Freshman. 

I’m quite the DIYer when it comes to music. I record, produce, mix, and master most of my releases myself, which gives me a unique perspective on the creative process.
