Thunderground

[Intro]
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Underground

[Verse 1]
Out here it's drastic, will trip the underworld fantastic
Elastic cuisines from cardboard and plastic
It's ass in fashion, an army with no discipline
Caskets, half-dick promoters off acid
When the peak of victory come, hate starts tumblin'
That's a tricky one, they only love you when you strugglin'
Fumblin' connections for fortunes, we a tortured lot
We beat dealers, tradin' numbers like diamond stocks
It's Negro mania live from Lithuania
Surveillance and aliases shows in Australia
We spread our names like malaria Bay Area networkers
Come across like the kick box circuit, it's worth it
Driftin' persons searchin' urgent like a Persian insurgence
For nervous word smiths, the purpose of first merchant
We corner markets, spark the target after worship
Where no man is perfect, get to work and close the circus curtains
Flourish like the opium trade in China
Wine you and dine you in the mind, not malls and cop a writers block
Clock, only one crop can stop that AK
We'll follow cops just to find out where the spots at
Young and unknown, the frost bit fingers of Mingus
We cold writers, some of earths great thinkers
Turn the wind into a church verse, give wings to English
Release light darkness, angels and God's demons
Singin' seeds sleepin on floors and flea carpets
Swift like Arabian archers, dark marksmen watch
You can't stop it, props of 5 rockets
Turn wine to ink and get the sky drunk off it
It's underground

[Chorus]
Underground is givin' a fuck, tryna come up
Sittin' on some records you love
What is underground?
Underground just doesn't exist, we do it for kicks
Addicted to the way that we live
This is underground
Underground is live where you rest
Subliminal stress, survivin' off beats by Protest
What is underground?
Fight for your keep, a hater of sleep
No stranger to heat in the language of streets
Yo this is underground

[Verse 2]
Obscure noise hollow hearts out, style linguist of Moscow
Soft style songs get tossed out
It's not with the signatures, it's word of mouth
Herb droughts, livin' room couch, strippers named EveBelieve
Hocus Pocus catch a quote, get you open
Show the difference between deceivin' and bein' Beethoven
Live from Oakland, nightmare specialist, chrome killer
Smilin' in the end like this the Thriller (Ha-ha-ha)
Comedy music, mood manipulation
From the bus to radio station invasion
Crew instigation, compositions, compilations, competitions
Mad faces, we'll shatter reputations
In straight jackets, safe crackers, great mackers, pay backers
True lyricists, we hate rappers
Tic Toc'in' future tactic travel
Time backwards, notebook tablet, public babble
It's underground

[Chorus]
Underground is givin' a fuck, tryna come up
Sittin' on some records you love
What is underground?
Underground just doesn't exist, we do it for kicks
Addicted to the way that we live
This is underground
Underground is live where you rest
Subliminal stress, survivin' off beats by Protest
What is underground?
Fight for your keep, a hater of sleep
No stranger to heat in the language of streets
Yo this is underground

[Verse 3]
It's the passion to flip, murder tracks like Hiram Abiff
On Friday the 5th like fightin' a fit, writin' will slip
Disc inside of ya chest, no hidin', no rest
Anxiety quality wearily climbin' you grimely
Peepin' the sign'ery forgery, seekin' sovereignty
Harmony wobbly garglin' dram-edy, probably sloppily
Livin' improperly on someone's rented property
Deep like Socrates but in poverty
Sins of hypocrisy, hip-hop has bureaucracy
Half mockery, ass kiss monopoly, jock'ery, flock'ery
Jerk'ery, fuck'ery, trickery, bickerin', sickenin'
Ticklin', thuggery occasionally flickerin'
Vendettas, wizardry of gadgetry
Police academy pattin' down the anatomy
The show ends in casualties, money bows to gravity
We'll sling blank tapes just to be home by Saturday
It's underground
