Straight from the Underground
[Verse 1] i’m like a prophet, words’ll drop when I’m speakin’ Crowds lean in closer when the bass starts breathin’ It’s more than flow — it’s blood, it’s war It’s ink-stained prayers written under the floor Tell your soul to send a sign Mark it “lost time” and I’ll read every line These cats mimic my tone and stance But their message is hollow — I give pain a dance See, I don’t flex, I reveal what’s felt With piano notes sharp as a rusty belt I’m darker than dusk, colder than regret A thousand voices in my chest when I vent I sketch scars in the air with breath Cut silence open and rhyme about death When I spit, it's not a verse, it’s proof Of a man who walked through hell with a cracked gold tooth So when I pull up with strings and keys You better brace — I unlace the disease [Hook – DJ scratching: “Unlace the disease!” / “Pull up with strings!” / “No mask!”] (Straight from the Underground!) [Hook – DJ scratching: “Unlace the disease!” / “Pull up with strings!” / “No mask!”] (Straight from the Underground!) [Verse 2] I spit truth like a blade through cloth Never had to lie to be seen as raw Got the jacket black, got the voice to match Got a choir in my lungs when I light this scratch They used to doubt — now they all quote scriptures From a man that rose, no filters or fixtures Still I walk slow, shadow long in the dirt Let the reverb hit, let the echo hurt I don’t bluff, I build from ash Pianos loop while my trauma thrash I paint regrets with the chords I twist And turntablists cut like the wrists I missed This ain’t just art — this is soul on tape A voice from the floor, through the ceiling’s break So when I step, you best respect the cry From a man who bleeds beats when he testifies [Hook – DJ scratching: “Unlace the disease!” / “Pull up with strings!” / “No mask!”] (Straight from the Underground!)

[Verse 3] Now when I enter the booth, it’s like a warzone crack Gravel in my throat, record knife on the track Turntables spin like a cyclone loss Minor keys ring like the teeth I lost Your style’s dried out, your myth’s been faded You ducked the last battle, but now I’m jaded I bring storm and violin grace My bars pull roots out the silence you face You want hype? I bring memoirs You want flash? I bring deep scars You chase trends, I carve stone Every word I drop comes from my own So next time you flex like your pain runs deep Remember I dug mine from the base of the beat [Hook – DJ scratching: “Unlace the disease!” / “Pull up with strings!” / “No mask!”] (Straight from the Underground!)
