​tpk - Underground lyrics

[Intro] Yo I'm underground And I've been this way... Since the day I was born [Verse 1] My records never get played on any radio I'm never getting certified, I'm never going gold And that's the way, it's supposed to be My fanbase downloads my records for free I performed at the Airliner, Characters, the Vibe Hideaway, and Back to the Grind Open mic and stages is where I rock everyday And I manage to do, amazing performances every which way From the words I spoke to the people I met I've been underground and above ground, at the same time Yet I've never been mainstream, I'm not a part of the team I'm just doing my own thing, wearing a red jacket and the red shoes And the black pants and the white shirt... You know my unique style, I make people hurt with it They want to be as unique, they want to be new school... Old school, like this; and I represent my sh** hardly [Prelude 1] I'm underground So underground I can barely breathe I'm so hard So hard that I'm turning into stone Word to Stu Stone Feel me! [Verse 2] If you're underground, you can be explicit As you want; swear like a god damn b**h When she's on her period, a sailor on deck Motherf**er I demand that disrespect Because I need the disrespect in order to rap I ain't taking no motherf**ing bullcrap... Positivity from you, cause I don't a**ociate with your crew I'm hardcore, I drink that brew 40 ounce, gulp it down quick... And legit... I'm drunk as sh**... The room getting dizzy, I'm about to fall down But then again, I might as well leave downtown and go uptown So I can get myself a b**h along the way And f** her up, get AIDS and die every which way This sh** is gay, I know. But when you're underground, everything goes yo... [Prelude 2] I'm unprocessed like raw milk, or raw beef Or even raw nuts, from the trees and sh** You know how deep I can go... I can go so deep, that I'm at risk of dying [Verse 3] There's a certain ethos to the underground style In order to become one, you don't have to be crazy wild But you have to be constrained and modest... Because if you're not, then you're not going to be the hardest You're not going to spit lyrical rhymes on a dime You're going to spit mediocre rhymes that people are able to find On the internet; and then you'll lose your grind So therefore you need to be harder, all the time Punch a guy in the face, pretend like you're doing so Because that's the only way you'll get the energy yo If you can't find the energy, then you are weak... You don't deserve to be underground, you deserve to be mainstream sh** Look at me I'm stuttering on a beat But then again, I'm standing on my own two feet I'm a man... I'm underground... The true definition of underground... You can't even get around like 2Pac, digital underground... Yeah!
