1st Verse:
Stay on the ground on the way to my goals,
which is to keep rocking shows and express my soul,
and even though we roll high we still lay low,
cause we know every fruit got it`s season to grow,
I don`t need to prove myself with battling-lines,
prefer to leave you believing your stuff is bigger than mine,
I don`t sell you an illusion I`m a regular guy,
call it my independence-day like it`s the 4th of July,
we shine, brighter than the sun in the sky,
Maniac, Rufflow and Chriz ready to rise,
what does it mean to be an underground Mc?
To me the fundamental condition is being free,
knowing that only time will make you see clearer,
a real Mc never looses his face in the mirror,
that`s not the type of attitude major-labels consider,
so independent`s the way to put yourself in the picture, (so this is)
Chorus:
Sample:
“Underground-music, music, underground-music,
underground so fine,
underground-music, music, underground-music
underground so fine!“
2nd Verse(Maniac):
We spread it like fed ex so we steadily restless,
strive for better perspectives yes check how we rep this,
stack years of twenty four sevens,
never ran from the past I don’t run from the present,
humble magnificent underground constructed the essence,
brothers have guess that its not the what their accustomed to getting,
Chriz`n demo rock instrumental production that’s hitting,
discuss if its fiction, thought that I was utterly kidding,
its buttery slick and leaving a little puddle you slip in,
also known to be a scene where there`s love to be given,
pump up the system, turn it up spit bacteria,
used to battle at parks with a six pack and drink it up,
now I sampled the parts of a Ill jazz rhythm cut,
still nobody talking odd or walking with a pimping strut,
living it up simple enough I tell a kid what up,
You`d listen to this shit if it would make a million bucks but this is -
Chorus:
Sample:
“Underground-music, music, underground-music,
underground so fine,
underground-music, music, underground-music
underground so fine!“
