[00:00.000] 作曲 : N. Jones/C. MARTIN/C. Ivory
[00:00.000] Okay, we gotta go deep, deep, deep to the underground
[00:10.139] Take every breath out of my body if I don't stay real, for life, yeah
[00:16.676] Turn it up, turn it up, yeah
[00:20.760]
[00:25.173] Welcome to the underground, that basement life
[00:28.442] Way underneath the earth
[00:29.736] Dig up dirt, termites and baby mice
[00:32.469] Scattering below the surface
[00:34.513] We deep in the soil, we jackhammerin' to the core of it all
[00:37.914] Avoiding the laws, outside the cornerstores with the raw
[00:41.104] Take me back again, before ice around me
[00:44.018] On stage performing while they fighting around me
[00:46.651] Later somebody gun popped
[00:48.235] The good old days, we from the streets
[00:50.283] Making plays, either you grind or you incomplete
[00:52.952] Open the year '86 lafite
[00:54.934] For the time that the team was confined to four walls and now we meet
[00:58.568] How about it for the real? Now I can fly to saudi
[01:01.320] Doing deals, coming back, whole fam showered in souvenirs
[01:04.670] If my kids are nepo babies, it was destined
[01:07.287] And they blessed, let 'em go crazy
[01:08.920] Healing is important, live it if you talk it
[01:11.352] Children get the short end of the stick, let's make better choices
[01:14.303] And everything costs, there's a price just to breathe
[01:17.008] Everything gets taxed, nothing in life's free
[01:19.627] So ain't nobody stealing my peace, I'm still a beast
[01:22.260] If I gotta put a piece in somebody grill and release
[01:24.841] Figurative speech, picture me a civilian packing heat
[01:27.560] Back in the days, waves, immature, naiveté
[01:30.890] By the tender age of 12, around some men who made
[01:33.528] Made it through situations that was inhumane
[01:36.277] Eatin' twelve course dinners, look how the menu change
[01:38.944] But the men ain't changed
[01:40.162]
[01:40.212] Yeah, welcome to the underground
[01:45.047] Coming straight from the underground
[01:50.448] Coming straight from the underground
[01:52.281]
[01:52.331] A 24-carat go-to-war addict
[01:54.684] Manic, way beyond boss status
[01:56.473] I need a room with the walls padded about mine
[01:58.915] Cops used to pat us down
[02:00.144] Old straps, we got passed down
[02:01.799] From old legends, let us hold they weapons
[02:03.783] They saw in us the coldness that was in they essence
[02:06.582] Hear the street confessions
[02:08.002] If you kill a legend, now you a legend
[02:09.848] The one who take out a legend
[02:11.229] He next to be a legend, allegedly
[02:13.317]
[02:13.367] Yeah, enamored, feel it?
[02:14.579] I channel through the annals of the life of ali
[02:16.878] My spirit animal
[02:18.044] Fearless ice grill your camera crew
[02:20.049] Epitomized, personified, an open letter to multiple golden eras that ended
[02:24.038] I go forever
[02:25.023] Official tissue, life-changer, masterpiece theater
[02:28.104] **** your candy-ass grammy grabs
[02:30.149] I open fire like panthers behind sandbags
[02:32.608] With my comrades, onslaught
[02:34.295] Turn you corny **** to cornstarch
[02:36.225] I lead and you just go with it
[02:38.211] The one who clashed with the whole system
[02:39.860] Since I entered the scene I just roll different
[02:42.345] Now they code switching
[02:43.557] They soul missing
[02:44.611] A catholic preist appears in your mirror
[02:46.428] Y'all awaited preem and nas like it's detox
[02:48.596] Forget the drum machine when preem could just do the beatbox
[02:51.431] Or bang on the top of a table, let his house key knock
[02:54.119] And I can freestyle, they can't see nas
[02:56.168]
[02:56.218] Welcome to the underground
[02:57.500] Coming straight from the underground
[03:05.876] Coming straight from the underground
