Underground

Yeah
Hey, yeah
Yeah
Yeah

May be effected by pressure, but never sellin' my soul
They say I need a hit record, but I just tell 'em I "know"
I know that bein' legendary was written into my destiny
Still they see me as regular wherever I go
I be so eager for freedom, I'm sick of being a slave
They may be scared to unleash me, I'm like a beast in a cage
So if I stop, I'm probably underground up in a coffin
When I get on, I'm puttin' on for y'all who been supportin'
Until then I'm reportin'

Live from the underground, on the come-up now
I gotta shut it down, make 'em love the sound
They gon' ask someone about me when I come around
I just gotta make my father and my mother proud
Live from the underground, I'm on the come-up now
Gotta shut it down, make 'em love the sound
They gon' ask someone about me when I come around
I just gotta make my sisters and my brothers proud

My brothers say that they wanna hear me get in my bag again
"People sleepin' on you bro, they need to hear you rap again"
Had to get my head together now I'm back again and back to win
Thinking back to when I didn't know how good I had it, actin' careless
Though I actually should've been tryin' harder 'cause I happen to be descended from Africans
Determined and passionate, keep it 100 but still y'all do not know the half of it
On the road to riches I'm learnin' from all my accidents
You can lean on me to be an activist
Treat the game of rappin' like it's Lazarus
Tellin' frauds to get out of dodge, never challenge us
Young and black and talented and we massively adamant
I tell 'em "welcome to the revolution", what is a vision with no execution?
I make the music that could spark a flame in every human
I'm from the home of basketball and yeah it's true when I tell you that there's been hella shootin's
I need to see the ladder, you may have to change to stay alive inside the game, I won't sugarcoat it Would you rather die or be these rappers?
Some people know about my vision but treat it like it don't even matter
They say the odds are very little, there's too many factors
I'll say I see too many slaves and barely any masters
They wanna keep us distracted and keep us held captive
The system built to put us through the same pattern so we move backward, reportin'

Live from the underground, on the come-up now
I gotta shut it down, make 'em love the sound
They gon' ask someone about me when I come around
I just gotta make my father and my mother proud
Live from the underground, I'm on the come-up now

So if I stop I'm probably underground up in a coffin
When I get on I'm puttin' on for y'all who been supportin'
Until then I'm reportin' live from the underground
Chasin' dreams, it seems so many people give me the runaround
It's pretty sad that there's so many haters from my town
Build a movement up and they happy to see it tumble down
They tell me for me to blow up I need to dumb it down
Live from the underground

Live from the underground

L-live from the underground
