Underground

by Kasia Kowalska

No one can blame you
For walking away
Too much rejection (na na)
No love injection
Life can be easy
It's not always swell
Don't tell me truth hurts, little girl
'Cause it hurts like hell
But down in the underground
You'll find someone true
Down in the underground
A land serene
A crystal moon, ah, ah
It's only forever
Not long at all
Lost and lonely
That's underground
Underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Ha ha I'm underground
Heard about a place today
Nothing never hurts again
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Ah ha I'm underground
Sister sister, please take me down
Ah ah I'm underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
No one can blame you
For walking away
Too much rejection (na na)
No love injection
But down in the underground
You'll find someone true
Down in the underground
A land serene
A crystal moon, ah, ah
It's only
It's only forever
It's not long at all
The lost and the lonely
That's underground
Underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Heard about a place today
Nothing never hurts again
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Ha ha I'm underground
Sister, sister, please take me down
Ah ha I'm underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Daddy, daddy, get me out of here
Ah ha I'm underground
Sister sister please take me down
Ah ha I'm underground
Ah ha I'm underground
Ah ha I'm underground
Daddy Daddy please
Daddy Daddy please
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Wanna live underground
Sister sister take take me down
Sister sister take take me down

by the chemical brothers

A lot of people ask me,
Where the fuck I've been at the last
Few years,
Shit I don't know,
But I do know I'm back now (haha)
Here comes the rain and thunder now
No where to run, to run to now
I'll disappear, they'll wonder how
Lookin for me, I'm underground
Here comes the rain and thunder now
No where to run to run to now
I'll disappear, they'll wonder how
Lookin for me, I'm underground
Dre I'm down here under the ground dig me up
Broken tibias, fibias, yeah fix me up
Sixty sluts, all of them dying from asphyxia
After they sip piss through a Christopher Reeves sippy cup
Dixie cups, toxins, boxes of Oxy pads
Enough oxy cotton to send a fuckin ox to rehab
Whack job in a bag and a black stalkin' cap
Jackin' off to a hockey mask at a boxing match
(He can’t say that) yes he can, I just did faggot now guess again
You better text message your next to kin
Tell 'em shit’s about to get extra messy especially when I flex again
And throw a fuckin lesbian in wet cement
So faggoty, faggoty, faggoty raggedy Ann and Andy no raggedy Andy and Andy
No it can’t be it can’t be, yes it can be the fuckin anti-christ is back Danny
It’s Satan in black satin panties
This is Amittyville calamity God dammit, insanity pills
Fanny pack filled with Zanny’s
Through every nook and cranny lookin for trannies
Milk and cookies spilled through her silk negligee looky
Razor-ba-lades with me to make you ba-leed
Cases of Maybeline make up lay on the table of weed
Slim Shady, shit sounds like a fable to me
Til he jumps out the fuckin toilet while your takin a pee
Here comes the rain and thunder now
No where to run, to run to now
I'll disappear, they'll wonder how
Lookin for me, I'm underground
Here comes the rain and thunder now
No where to run to run to now
I'll disappear, they'll wonder how
Lookin for me, I'm underground
Six semen samples seventeen strands of hair
Found in the back of a van after a shoot with Vanity Fair
Hannah Montana prepare to elope with a can opener
And be cut open like cantaloupe and canopy beds
And Glad bags, yeah, glad to be back
Cause last year was a tragedy that landed me smack dab in rehab
Fuckin doctor I ain’t understand a damn word he said
I planned to relapse second I walked outta that bitch
Two weeks in Brighton I ain’t enlightened
Biting into a fuckin Vicodin like I’m a Viking
Oh lightin and striking it might be a fucking sign I need a psychic
Evaluation fuck Jason it’s Friday the nineteenth
That means it’s just a regular day
And this is the kind of shit I think of regularly
Fuckin lesbian shouldn’t of had her legs in the way
Now she’s pregnant and gay missing both legs and beggin to stay
Here comes the rain and thunder now
No where to run, to run to now
I'll disappear, they'll wonder how
Lookin for me, I'm underground
Here comes the rain and thunder now
No where to run to run to now
I'll disappear, they'll wonder how
Lookin for me, I'm underground
So for critics, I’m back and I’m coming
To spit it back in abundance
Hit a fag with onions
Then split a bag of Funyons
Mad at me? Understandable
Cannibal, shoot an animal
Out of a cannon and have em catapult
At an adult
Captain of a cult with an elite following
To turn Halloween back to a trick or treat Holiday
Have Michael Myers looking like a liar
Swipe his powers
Replace his knife for flowers and a stack of flyers
Hit Jason Forhes with a 40
Stuck a suppository up his ass
And made him tell me a story
Gave Hannibal Lector a fucking nectarine
And sat him in the fucking fruit and vegetable section
And gave him a lecture
Walked up Elm street with a fucking whiffle bat drew
Fought Freddy Kreugar and Edward Scissorhands too
And came out with a little scratch – Ew
Lookin like a got in a fucking pillow fight
With a triple fat goose
Insanity? Can it be vanity?
Where’s the humanity in having a twisted fantasy
With an arm and leg amputee
Straight jacket with a hundred and eight brackets
And a strap that wraps twice around my back
Then they latch it
Cut your fucking head off
And ask where you’re headed off to
Get it?
Headed off too?
Medic! This headache’s awful
This anesthetic’s pathetic
So is this diabetic waffle
And this prosthetic arm keeps crushing my hard taco
Here comes the rain and thunder now
No where to run, to run to now
I'll disappear, they'll wonder how
Lookin for me, I'm underground
Here comes the rain and thunder now
No where to run to run to now
I'll disappear, they'll wonder how
Lookin for me, I'm underground
I had to get sober.
It wasn't a choice, it was, I had to do this.
And now I got 90 days clean and uh, that's all I have to share.
Thanks.
Well thanks for sharing Brian.
There anyone else who'd like to share this evening?
Yeah, I got something to share...
When you walk, through the door, you were queer to me
So come here baby boy, just come here to me
You're a cock boy, everybody wants you
You're gayer, than you would ever claim to
I won't have to rape you
So homie, Lay down, down down
Lay down, down down, Lay down, down down Lay down, lay down
Uhh, where's everybody going?
This always went over real big in Gay A.
Ok wait, I got another one...
I just love condoms and lots of cum
No?
Oh, shit.
There's a way, I've been told
If we walk together, keeps us from this cold
On the sidewalks of these streets
Lie the broken dreams, scattered at our feet
Lead me on, I don't mind
I'll come forward laughing every time
All my friends, they've gone underground
Go underground
There's a shadow on this land
A growing darkness, cruel and senseless hand
This block won't be the same
Now the music's there, but somehow some things changed
Lead me on, I don't mind
I'll come forward laughing every time
All my friends they've gone underground
I got burned, left too quick
Got myself caught outside the heart of it
All my friends they've gone
Underground, go underground, go underground
There's a song that I've heard
Rising up above the streets, of this crumbling world
'Bout the sadness in every day
How it leaves and takes, a bit of your faith away
Lead me on, I don't mind
I'll come forward laughing every time
All my friends they've gone
Underground
I got burned left too quick
Got myself caught outside the heart of it
All my friends they've gone underground
Go underground, go underground

Underground

by Gatsby's American Dream

Ouaah ! Grand corps malade, la tête de ma mère, la dernière fois que je l'ai vu passer il était en roller.
a fond en roller il est monté en scooter c'était Cauet qui conduisait.
il est parti chez Arthur manger au bristol
si t'as pas la grosse tête j'lui dit emmène moi
en plus j'le connais même pas il a l'melon moi j'te 'l dit il a la grosse tête il a changé
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Bien sur que non j'ai rien changé à mes habitudes
pas de nouvelles attitudes même degré même latitude
toujours les mêmes envies les mêmes délires les mêmes valeurs
toujours pas de montre à mon poignet rarement pressé jamais à l'heure
bon c'est vrai que depuis un moment je ne prends plus le metro
trop galère trop perte de temps des rendez-vous j'en ai trop
et puis j'avoue dans la voiture ce n'est plus moi qui conduit
j'ai un chauffeur enfin deux, un pour le jour et un la nuit
j'ai toujours les mêmes potes mais je ne les vois que deux fois par an
et un fois tous les semestres je passe un coup de fil à mes parents
c'est juste un problème de planning ne croyez pas que je me la pete
rassurez vous je reste underground parce qu'underground c'est dans la tête
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
j'ai pas changé de numéro de phone mais j'réponds pas j'ai pas le temps
sauf pour un week-end dans les iles là, je suis toujours partant
j'suis pas devenu trop parano mais j'fais confiance qu'aux gens blindés
et j'ai acheté deux dobermans qui surveillent mon lecteur DVD
j'vais bouffer au restaurant des que dans le frigo y a plus de caviar
j'ai des jeans en peau de serpent et des Stan-Smith en lézard
je n'arrive à m'endormir qu'après deux bouteilles de champ..
et en guise de réveil un violoniste vient dans ma chambre
j'ai remplacé ma vieille télé par un plasma de 20 mètres carré
j'ai 500 chaines que j'vois jamais car je préfère me barrer
dans des soirées bien branchées ou tous les soirs j'fais la fête
mais je reste underground parce qu'underground c'est dans la tête
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
avant chaque concert j'parle à personne pendant deux heures
j'reste dans ma loge tamisée, pour chaque pied j'ai un masseur
j'annule une partie d'la tournée des qu'j'ai le moindre souci
et après chaque représentation j'mange du foie gras et des sushis
moi les séances de dédicace j'veux qu'les gens soient sélectionnés
j'en veux des droits et bien élevés je supporte plus les gens paumés
bien sur j'veux des belles filles qui me disent qu'elles m'adore
j'veux qu'on crie qu'on m'applaudisse je supporte plus qu'on m'ignore
j'connais plein de monde mais mes vrais amis sont tous des gens de télé
si tu peux rien m'apporter sois cool arretes de m'appeler
j'fais la bise à tout le monde comme on le fait dans la jet-set
mais j' reste underground parce qu'underground c'est dans la tête
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Bien sur que non j'ai pas changé c'est simplement que c'est plus pratique
de voyager en jet privé et d'me reposer dans des suites
bien sur que oui j'suis resté l'même c'est simplement que c'est normal
de n'accepter d'slamer que si l'ministre est dans la salle
j'ai une panthère sur mon balcon et un requin dans ma baignoire
ma voiture a des vitres teintées et j'sors qu'avec des lunettes noires
j'ai un jakusi dans ma clio et des diamants dans le moteur
et desormais j'vais au marché de st denis en chaise a porteur
j'continue d'slamer dans des bars mais j'veux venir avec mes sponsors
il faut me fournir un costard et un manche de micro en or
si j'ai changé c'est dans le regard des autres car moi j'me l'repete
j'suis resté underground parce qu'underground ............. c'est dans la tête!

by Various Artists

Don't take the fire from your eyes
Must make them feel the heat
They build castles underground for the rich and politic elite
Keep all the home fires burning,
Don't let the lights go out
The streets are empty, and there's nobody about.
We'll be alright in the morning time
yeah
We're doing fine, I'll see you on the night line
There's no need for you to fight, boys,
Hang up all your guuns
Find your mask and as best as you can, get ready to run
Keep all the food lines moving,
Don't come cry'n' for more
The signs were there, you should have bought connections before
We'll be alright in the morning time
Yeah
We're doing fine, I'll see you on the nightline
It's such a big joke
It's the talk of the town
All the planets to whom I spoke
Are trying their best to play it down
Don't take the fire from your eyes
Must make them feel the heat
But my head's unsteady
I can't seem to keep my feet
Jump off the Eiffel Tower
Just have a look around
Move fast, in the tunnels of the underground
Move fast, in the tunnels of the underground
Let's go!

Underground

by Avantasia

Let us go back to the time when the underground
Was the place where we all used to hide away
Let us go back to the streets where it all begun
How could I know, it was the last time I saw you?
Seventeen and believed in just anything
Could be true, could be bad, something in between
I recall all those lazy summer nights
And all I knew was the time I spent with you
I could easily stay, and never come home
Looking out on the field like its never been changed
The past is a place that you can never return to
Even though people say that this is where you belong
I could easily stay, and never come home
Looking out on the field like its never been changed
The past is a place that you can never return to
Even though people say that this is where you belong
I could always try to reach you
And it's pumping through my veins
And there's nothing I can do about it
(though people say that this is where you belong)
Let us go back to the time when the underground
It used to be our place it belonged to us
And I'd go back if I could but it's not the same
And now I know, it was the last time I saw you
I could easily stay, and never come home
Looking out on the field like its never been changed
The past is a place that you can never return to
Even though people say that this is where you belong
I could easily stay, and never come home
Looking out on the field like its never been changed
The past is a place that you can never return to
Even though people say that this is where you belong
I could always try to reach you
And it's pumping through my veins
And there's nothing I can do about it
I could always try to reach you
And it's pumping through my veins
And there's nothing I can do about it.

by Death

You won't realize I'm venomous
You'll fall ill after hearing this
I can't think straight, I'll mix you up
No recipe no formula
I'm like a chain-saw, I'll spit and sing
The words that cut you limb from limb
Cut out of a pattern to nothing familiar
I went out to find a funeral
No one died, I was waiting
None will rise, dawn is beautiful
Underground I will haunt you
Well it's easy to be with this
Just take some notes we'll take a piss
On all the shit that sounds so typical
We're fully automatic and we will kill
When amnesia sets in again
Forget yourself remember this that
We are so special
We're nothing for real
I went out to find a funeral
No one died, I was waiting
None will rise, dawn is beautiful
Underground I will hunt you down

Underground

by Timbiriche

see mother will
hold the children from the all worlds' pain
father still
holds deep with eyes of hate
folding our arms
and the happiness
falls apart
for, all was unknown
until you create, the game
so it's time
clear our minds
underground
shut your eyes
shut your eyes
shut your eyes
shut your eyes
follow the gun
quench the thirst for love
that you had kept from
only son that has held you up so high
felt like the world has been pushed away
and back again
when, mother will you
protect all of us, somehow
so this time
clear our minds
underground
shut your eyes
shut your eyes
shut your eyes
shut your eyes
shut your eyes
shut your eyes
shut your eyes
shut your eyes

For me it's hard to say
(hard to say, hard to say)
And this might not be the way
And if you want to stay
My ghetto prince is smiling underground
And it makes me feel good to know you died
(died, died)
And this may not be the time
(time)
See I drank two things of wine
But I think that you will find
(find, find)
And my ghetto prince is smiling underground
My ghetto prince is smiling underground
Ain't got no guarantee
And I know it's hard to see
But there's a little more to me
(a little more to me)
And my ghetto prince is smiling from underground
Yeah my ghetto prince is smiling underground
But only for a while
(a while)
I still think I need your smile
(smile)
All the while
(while)
And my ghetto prince is smiling underground
Yeah my ghetto prince is smiling underground
Now this may not be the time
(time, time)
Cause I drank two things of wine
But I think that you will find
(find)

Won't you come to the other side
A via satellite
With me my darling
Let me help you through the suffering
I know you're hurt again
So trust in me now
Stop...
Breathe...
Look inside of me
Tell me what do you see
Relate
But do not hesitate
To come with me tonight
Won't you come to the other side
Follow me down
Won't you come to the underground
So I can save your soul
Cause it's part of you
And it's part of me
Synchronicity
I'm only here to help you through the pain
And make it go away
Oh sincerely no
Stop...
Breathe...
Look inside of me
Tell me what do you see
Relate
But do not hesitate
To come with me tonight
Won't you come to the other side
Follow me down
Won't you come to the underground
So I can save your soul
Follow me down
To the underground

If you don't walk with me, I will walk alone (x2)
Hard enough to believe in myself
When I know they don't believe in me
Unwilling to change for society
I'll be who I wanna be
I wanna tear it up, tear it out
Get my aggression out
This is what we're here for, control the dance floor
This is why we're here
I said, this is why we're here
So when will it end, when will it end
When will they comprehend, comprehend
That we will overcome this system
I said this is why we're here
They keep on kicking me down, kicking me down
Tryin' to keep me underground, underground
But did I mention we were paving the way
For the new breed of bad seed
We'll never let up until we hear every voice scream
Screamin' these words, screamin' these words
'Til every voice is heard, voice is heard
They keep on screamin' these words, screamin' these words
'Til every voice is heard...
Calling from the underground!
I can feel it in the air I breathe!
I can see we all agree
Unwilling to change for society
We'll be who we wanna be
We are the underground
We are the underground
They keep on kicking me down, kicking me down
Tryin' to keep me underground, underground
But did I mention we were paving the way
For the new breed of bad seed
We'll never let up until we hear every voice scream
Screamin' these words, screamin' these words
'Til every voice is heard, voice is heard
They keep on screamin' these words, screamin' these words
'Til every voice is heard...
Calling from the underground!

i don't need your redemption
i don't want you to deceive me
and I don't need your forgiveness
i only want you to believe me
do you see me here
i'm standing naked
do you see me here on my knees
now all my life i've been wandering
looking for teachers with the keys
nothing found still searching
for sound...
underground
now let me tell you about a story
it's about a man consumed with vice
theosophical in nature
and hedonistic in disguise
and all my life he's been wandering
searchign for teachers with the keys
nothing found still searching for sound
underground...

my head is pounding I can't stop the pounding
I think it is going to explode
and kill everybody who's in close proximity to the place I call my home
and they'll make a moving made-for-tv movie for Life Time all about my life
that ends with an epitaph one that will make you laugh
that says great mom okay wife
and it'll be funny to the people who know me
who know if my body's not burned
my soul will spend an eternity in misery
tethered and bound to this earth
so I'm not a dick or a stick in the mud always ruining things for my friends
I mustn't forget when I see the sun set that tomorrow it will rise again
so I tattoo instructions on my ass
that say don't ever put this body in a casket
burn it and put the ashes in a basket
and throw them in the Puget Sound
I don't ever want to be underground
oh no, oh no
I'm wearing size thirteen basketball shoes
and laugh at your fishnets
I'm freaked out and fucked up
and I'm standing alone in an alley with you
wanting to show you a cure for your hiccups
but instead I close my eyes
the needles are numbered so I'm writing you letters
and I cannot disguise the fact that I'm nervous when we are together
and so I fantasize
that the nights will get shorter and the days will get better
I feel a kick inside and decide
if this is a girl I'm naming her Heather
she'll look just like you but her hair will be feathered
she'll say how you died before you ever met her
her hair will be feathered
my head is pounding I can't stop the pounding
I think it is going to explode
there are plus and minuses to sinusitus
like sometimes I get to go home
but mostly it hurts so bad I think I'm dying
I just blew my nose and now I feel like crying
and the dreams that I have are all of my past lives
and the seizures would paralyze me in the night
and I wake up clutching my teddy bear tight
and I'm drooling and trying to turn on the light
all I can do is hold fast and sit tight
but what if they forget 'cause you know they just might
so I tattoo instructions on my ass
that say don't ever put this body in a casket
burn it and put the ashes in a basket
and throw them in the Puget Sound
I don't ever want to be underground
oh no, oh no

And you can't see yourself in the mirror anymore
And your alone and green and cold as the sea
And if you go down I will follow you underground
And you can't close your eyes anymore
And you can't dream
Just because you fucked up doesn't mean it's ok
To stand around pulling down the roof with your hands
Hoping nobody notices
But if you go far I will fill your mouth with the sour taste
And you can't hear yourself anymore
And you can't sing
What makes you think I won't ridicule you?
What makes you think I'll avoid you?
What makes you think I'll steal your fingerprints?
What makes you think I will forget this?
What makes you think I won't hurt you?
What makes you think I won't cut you?
And you just bleed for eternal time
And plead with confess like a sea, confessed what you need
And if you go far I will fill your mouth with the sour taste
If you rile I will meet you there on a higher plane
And if you go down I will bury you underground

don't run away from panic.
when you feel the panic mount,
take a deep breath and,
as you breath out, let go.
keep trying.
stay there almost as if you were
floating in space.
don't fight the feeling of panic.
accept it. You can do it.

in the Danger zone
there's a rumblin' groan
down below
there's a big dark town
it's a place I've found
there's a world going on
UNDERGROUND
they're alive, they're awake
while the rest of the world is asleep
below the mine shaft roads
it will all unfold
there's a world going on
UNDERGROUND
all the roots hang down
swing from town to town
they are marching around
down under your boots
all the trucks unload
beyond the gopher holes
there's a world going on

"Alice"
Trippin' out
Spinnin' around
I'm underground, I fell down
Yeah, I fell down
I'm freakin' out
So where am I now?
Upside down
And I can't stop it now
It can't stop me now,
Ohhh
I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashin' down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop it!
I, I won't cry
I found myself (myself) in Wonderland
Get back on my feet again
Is this real? (Is this real?)
Is it pretend? (Is it pretend?)
I'll take (I'll take) a stand (A stand) until (Until) the end
I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashin' down
When I fall and hit the ground
I'll just turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me!
I, I won't cry
I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashin' down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me!
I, and I won't cry

I was never cool in school
I'm sure you don't remember me
and now it's been ten years
I'm still wondering who to be
but I love to mix in circles,
cliques and social coteries,
that's me
hand me my nosering
(can we be happy?)
show me the mosh pit
(can we be happy?)
we can be happy
underground
Who's got the looks?
Who's got the brains?
Who's got everything?
I've got this pain in my heart
that's all
Hey you, with the long
and lonely face
there's gotta be something else
let me tell you something else
there was a girl who passed me by
she gave a smile, but I was shy
and looked down, so down
Don't look there no no
go go underground
now now there's a place to go
it's the morning now
it's the evening
it's everything
I click my heels and I'm there
CHORUS
Underground, underground, ooh
Everything's happy underground
you been kicked around
did life bring you down here?
Everything's heavy underground
And we'll be decked
in all black
slamming the pit fantastic
Officer Friendly's little boy's
got a mohawk
and he knows just where
we're coming from
it's industrial
work it underground
get down, get down, get down
CHORUS
we can be happy
we can be happy
we can be happy
underground
oh we can
oh we can
oh we can be
everything's heavy!

[Chorus]
What does it mean to be UNDERGROUND?
It means you gotta be free to be UNDERGROUND
Yo, you got your own key when you're UNDERGROUND
If you're listening to me yo you UNDERGROUND
[Verse One]
It's time that I open with a thunder sound
Now look around your own town for the UNDERGROUND
Yo, you rhymin for the TV, or a million CD's?
You ain't a MC, you ain't UNDERGROUND
You could be platinum or gold, hot or cold
But it's the respect you hold that's UNDERGROUND
When the critics don't get, that for the streets you spit it
When your lyric they fear, that's UNDERGROUND
[Chorus]
[Verse Two]
Yo, white kids, black kids, skinny kids, fat kids
Them Asian cats be UNDERGROUND
Chicanos, Palestinians, Milanos, fuck the Lone Ranger
Where's Tanto? That's UNDERGROUND
Freddie Foxxx, Blackalicious, Kweli
M.O.P., GangStarr that's UNDERGROUND
Mad Lion, Smif-N-Wessun, Buckshot
Armageddeon T.S. that's UNDERGROUND, UHH!
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
Yo, the t'cha returns, I told y'all I went to Cali to learn
And that shit was UNDERGROUND
If the cops be eyein you, cause survive is what you try to do
Yo I'm wit you, you UNDERGROUND
If it's justice you want, and you protest the ice they flaunt
You want skills that's UNDERGROUND
Yo it's not about a rugger rapper, or an actor
It's about your subject matter that's UNDERGROUND
LOOK!
[Chorus]
[Verse Four]
Chevonne Dean from Ruff Ryders, all the Outsiderz
Young Zee, that's UNDERGROUND
When all your money's spent, and you're still hangin on
to 50 Cent (get it) you UNDERGROUND
When you rep the collective consciousness of hip-hop
Not hip-pop, you UNDERGROUND
Yo it ain't about jewels, bitches and cars
It's about Nas, that's UNDERGROUND, yo!
[Chorus]
[Verse Five]
To be underground simply means that you're down
for the struggle, get 'em up, that's UNDERGROUND
You could be a classy lady or a whore
But if you protest the war, for sure, you UNDERGROUND
If the government can't see you, or deceive you
You love your people, believe you UNDERGROUND
If you refuse to play the game, you go against the grain
You ridin the train, you UNDERGROUND - get it!
[Chorus]
[Verse Six]
Yo, yo, that blast from the past, like Grandmaster Caz
Bam and Flash, that's UNDERGROUND
Doug E. Fresh, Lord Finesse, KRS
If you listenin to this you UNDERGROUND
Turn it up now KRS about to show you how
They go wow, BLAOW for the UNDERGROUND
Mr. Walt, Evil Dee, KRS, BDP
Kenny P, that's UNDERGROUND - do it!
[Chorus]
[KRS-One]
(Alright!) Turn it up ah, turn it up ah
Turn it up ah, turn it up ah
Turn it up ah, turn it up ah
Turn it up if you UNDERGROUND - LISTEN!

Underground

Sitting by a judas mantel
underneath where i cant tell
found the places im destroying
only hoped youd be there still
could not find a way to be it
i don't even mind this time
here wed like to get things over
life love anything at all
and when the morning comes
well sit here and when the atom
breaks well just stare
and my life goes underground
and my life goes underground
sitting by a judas mantel
underneath well ive been there
could not right
the only pieces
test out anything you will
and when the morning comes
well sit here and when the atom
breaks well just stare
and my life goes underground
and my life goes underground
sitting by a judas mantel
very well what we define
counted up the broken pieces
here we want to redefine
all dementia memory brought for
all the weakness we cant tell
understood that i discover
right here everything is well
and when the morning comes
well sit here
and when the saddle breaks
ill stand still
and my life goes underground
and my life goes underground
if i left it all the same well it
doesnt mean that its
not personal
and i never understood why the
faces faded its so irrational
as the atoms start to phase and
i knew it couldnt mean that
much to me
and i never understood where
the friends all go its
not personal now
