Raw Data

[Verse 1]
A million no-names sit somewhere below Lame
There's no plane, they flying under my radar
Stealth as they may be, I'm on point mane
You could get your hate on, but if you hate me
It's cause the same level, we ain't on
I'm white, but I'd rather get my N.W.A on
Than my triple K on (I ain't talking marathons)
See what I'm saying, dawg? And I don't keep the AK drawn
Cause I don't got no sketch bad, I just keep it scripted
And filed through the memory banks
To be revealed later like thе diary of Ms. Frank
And it's something you could feel, when what they firing is blanks
This is round aftеr round to your noggin'
It'll take you down like the boggins
Least on your way down the sound'll be knocking
(I eat the competition) Anthony Hopkins
I'm on a mission where anything's possible
Coming to you live from Apollo's cockpit

[Hook: IAME + DJ Spark scratches]
I'm taking off in a ship
You take it off like a stripper, but they ain't offer you shit
And what you got in the clip
Ain't no match for what I got in the zip file
(This is raw data) You don't want it unzipped
(Like an outbreak's loose) You don't want it unzipped
(Like a diseased prostitute) You don't want it unzipped
(Okay, I'm just being stupid) But you don't want it unzipped
You want it contained
Trust me, you don't want it with Lame
(Know what I'm saying)
You don't want it with Lame
(Know what I mean)
You ain't fucking with IAME

[Verse 2]
I'ma blow the fuck up like BP and Halliburton
On the gulf coast, who wants to meet me for some oil surfing?
(Yea, I got jokes)
But there's truth in 'em and so they hurtin'
But for real, fuck entertaining you, this is holy work
When it's not fully working you ain't running from the wrath of God
Yea, wait 'til it's coming straight at you like Avatar did
3D without the glasses on looking retarded
But this is no blockbuster
This is life on the block, busted
Without a James Cameron-sized budget
This the Hurt Locker, step inside, cousin
First grow a set of balls
This your Call of Duty, but not on XBox
And it's not a desk job, we out here, field work (Day and night)
Where everyone with a vision thinks they're Spielberg
(Yea, right)
But I'm on that Darren Aronofsky, barely here at all, but see
There's something big behind the smoke and mirrors, let's air it out
Breathe

[Hook: IAME + DJ Spark scratches]
I'm taking off in a ship
You take it off like a stripper, but they ain't offer you shit
And what you got in the clip
Ain't no match for what I got in the zip file
(This is raw data) You don't want it unzipped
(Like your backpack by the police) You don't want it unzipped
(Like your jacket when it's below freezing) You don't want it unzipped
(Or for any other good reason) But you don't want it unzipped
You want it contained
Trust me, you don't want it with Lame
(Know what I'm saying)
You don't want it with Lame
(Know what I mean)
You ain't fucking with IAME

[Verse 3]
Where my fans at?
A select few leave the venue covered in hazmat
I'll rep true and make a mess of what the rest misuse
So they can't no more and they on stage all confused
Cause all they have is a cord attached to nothing
What's a puppet to do?
Don't let them plug into you they will try to
Drain your energy with their bravado
Don't let them steal the show, you paid your admission
They think they're the shit, but that ain't the case now, is it?
They say they the best, but Lame's your best bet
They get around like a vest, but meanwhile I Jet Set
Up in the air like Clooney, the altitude getting to me
But I'm on autopilot flying where God tell me
The wings are man-made, but the noise is Heaven sent
You can hide from the light, but you can't avoid the end of it
So which side are you on? You think it's simple, but it isn't, though
It's a faint line already and it's soon to be invisible

[Hook: IAME + DJ Spark scratches]
I'm taking off in a ship
You take it off like a stripper, but they ain't offer you shit
And what you got in the clip
Ain't no match for what I got in the zip file
(This is raw data) You don't want it unzipped
(Like it's time to piss in a cup) You don't want it unzipped
(Like your dick's in your zipper, stuck) You don't want it unzipped
(Yea, I don't give a fuck) But you don't want it unzipped
You want it contained
Trust me, you don't want it with Lame
(Know what I'm saying)
(Know what I mean)
