[Chorus - The Real Explcit]
Ayo I'm still broke AF & I still sag my pants
Just hit my boss up to get paid in advance
This is where I'll b stuck cuz I ain't got no plans
I dont wanna grow up ain't no way not chance
This is The Life of an Underground Rapper
[VERSE 1 - The Real Explicit]
“But I'ma sick 1 tho…”
Everybody says that - Then they kick dumb flows
I ain't even tryna play the victim bro - Everybody wants a deal they ain't get 1 tho
Get sum hoe - Had that sh** at 19
With the income so - I know that it might seem
I should quit/Done for - Swallow all of my steam
But I'm in control - Ima follow my dreams
All of my means - Every dollar I seen
Til i hollow out my wallet & then all of my jeans
All of my beans have been spilled out
Im real bout all of my schemes - Im revealed now - I still doubt
Apologizing - Would be called a wise thing
After all that I seen - feel wit all of my being
That the jail, and the d**, and the fights from my past were to test me and bless me the life of a rapper
[Chorus - The Real Explicit]
Ayo I'm still broke AF & I still sag my pants
Just hit my boss up to get paid in advance
This is where I'll b stuck cuz I ain't got no plans
I dont wanna grow up ain't no way not chance
This is The Life of an Underground Rapper
[VERSE 2 - D-CYPHR]
The life of an underground rapper
Chasing on my dream, that's a challenging battle
Hated kid in school, then I changed right after
Now enjoying life like it's a brand new chapter
How to get famous, man I have to find the answers
Damn I have to practice hard to advance up the rap ladder
I wanna be on stage at an A-Cla** stadium
Amazing fans by spraying raps that make the crowds gather
Join the bandwagon, help out a rap addict
But they sleeping on my tracks like "here, you need a blanket?"
Lyrical grand master, bringing out new bangers
Hear a track come out and then I drop another after
And I ain't dealing with y'all snakes like adders
Too busy climbing up the ranks like snakes and ladders
Be independent? That's cool but i want a famous chapter
Earn dough with my flow, but that's the life of an underground rapper
[Chorus - The Real Explicit]
Ayo I'm still broke AF & I still sag my pants
Just hit my boss up to get paid in advance
This is where I'll b stuck cuz I ain't got no plans
I dont wanna grow up ain't no way not chance
This is The Life of an Underground Rapper
[VERSE 3 - Brain Busta]
This is the life sometimes the truth comes hard like knives
But I just keep on living and trying staring up at the sky
That's why I gotta get ahead and run the place
So I won't be caught with a gun in my face
Still filled with hope but can I cope instead of mope
While there's still wars riots and getting caught dealing dope
And there are still some who say that I ain't real I'm fake
Don't see the world like I do they don't understand what I make
But for pete's sake it depends on how you cut the cake
Some say every man for himself everyone else can jump in the lake
Too much sun and now I'm hot like if I've been baked
But the drought in California creates chances we can't take
Which I'm in a predicament and it's sickenin' to think of it
I gotta keep my head up and keep on kickin' it
This is a rough world just ask Explicit and D-CYPH
But we gotta still live on cause that's just the life
