Underground

[Intro]
Yeah
People always ask me, “How come they don’t play your music on the radio?”
“How come we don’t see you on tv?”
Real simple
(Southside, if you’re down to ride,…)
Underground (…all my underground Gs, hold you hands up high)
Y’all will feel it
(Northside, if you’re down to ride, all my underground Gs, hold your hands up high)
Yeah
(Westside, if you’re down to ride, all my underground Gs, hold your hands up high)
(Eastside, if you’re down to ride, all my underground Gs, hold your hands up high)
