[Hook]
When I was young, I always do what I be (I said I'm gon' tell the whole world about it)
In time I made 'em see
Tired of people hating on me (I said I'm gon' tell the whole world about it)
When I was young, I always do what I be (I said I'm gon' tell the whole world about it)
In time, I made 'em see
Many doubt it
Any blockade, I walk around it
In the Underground, where you found it
[Verse 1]
Yo, grew up playing champions and knew that I would be one
Your fears are the only thing you need to be free from
Started making beats
Send it out to Azzy [?] in a few weeks
Now I'm blasting Golden Child on repеat
Cold and wild in the street
I made The Owls stuck to rulеs like I took the vows
Understand the frequency and how to move a crowd
Rolling Loud - It ain't a festival though
I'm making power moves while you're still perfecting your flow
Peers never see the places we'd inevitably go
Nobody putting in this work and yet the evidence'll show
Said I'm gassed and I'm proving them wrong
This is how you change your future with only a song
Executing like I'm paid by the King
The pitbull that was made for the ring
Put all the food on the table, but they never say what I bring
A gracious king that lets you flourish while the others'll sink
[Hook]
When I was young, I always do what I be (I said I'm gon' tell the whole world about it)
In time I made 'em see
Tired of people hating on me (I said I'm gon' tell the whole world about it)
When I was young, I always do what I be (I said I'm gon' tell the whole world about it)
In time, I made 'em see
Many doubt it
Any blockade, I walk around it
In the Underground, where you found it
[Verse 2]
We're putting life on the Underground, the real ones breathe
Pretty rare to see someone blow up and not leave
How many artists have you loved for the first album
By the second one is sold out, forget about 'em?
Snakes in your ears, manipulating your fears
I'm seeing it clear, that's why they never play me round here
I ain't tryna fit in, speaking to the younger me while they're still listening
Had a real vision that I'm still living
No matter how real they claim
For the fame, yeah, they will give in
The carrot in front of their eyes have all slipping
Well, money is your goal, that's obvious
Most will turn to the machine in their prime just like Optimus
Still, I catch a rift like Oculus
Lighten up a spliff that's as thick as your binoculars
State your occupation, but show cooperation
Before the fans put you to sleep like Operation

Tired of people hating on me (I said I'm gon' tell the whole world about it)
When I was young, I always do what I be (I said I'm gon' tell the whole world about it)
In time, I made 'em see
Many doubt it
Any blockade, I walk around it
In the Underground, where you found it
