Verse: Down where the air is thick and the light is thin, That’s where the truth resides, under the skin. Above ‘em, they’re dancing on glass and on gold, Down here, we’re keeping the stories untold. It’s the root, it’s the foundation, the dirt in the grout, The place where the whispers turn into a shout. Hold your breath, count to ten, let the pressure surround, Welcome to the logic of the Underground.

2. Third Rail

(High-speed, frantic tempo. Aggressive delivery. This track represents the danger of the "path less traveled.")

Chorus: Don’t touch the third rail, don't trip on the track, Once you go deep, there’s no turning back. High voltage flow, keep your soul in the light, ‘Cause the shadows are hungry in the middle of the night.

Verse: I’m a tunnel rat, navigating through the maze, While they’re lost in the static and the social media haze. I don't need a billboard, I don't need a throne, I’m the king of the silence, I’m the god of the unknown. Every bar is a brick, every beat is a pillar, The industry is ghost-town, I’m the giant-killer. Living on the edge of the copper and the spark, Writing fire on the walls where it’s pitch-black dark.

3. Fossil Fuels

(Slow, heavy, and gritty. A metaphor for turning old pain into energy.)

Verse 1: They buried us deep, thought we’d rot in the clay, But we compressed the grief till it turned to display. Diamond-grade rhymes from the weight of the world, Watch the black smoke rise as the story’s unfurled. I’m digging up bones of the versions of me, That I had to kill off just to finally be free.

Chorus: We’re the fossil fuels, burning hot, burning slow, Powering the city from the levels below. You can’t extinguish what you can’t even see, The underground’s the only place I’m feeling like me.

4. Concrete Canopy

(Atmospheric, lo-fi, and melodic. Focuses on the feeling of being trapped by the city.)

Verse 2: Look up and see the bottom of the street, The rhythmic vibration of a million feet. They’re walking on our heads while we’re building the base, Invisible ghosts in a crowded-up space. No stars in the sky, just the pipes and the wiring, The hustle is constant, the soul is untiring. Water leaks down like the city is weeping, While the rest of the world is upstairs and sleeping.

5. Decompression (Outro)

(The beat slowly strips away until it’s just a heartbeat and a soft ambient hum.)

Spoken Word: They told you the top was the goal. But the top is windy. The top is lonely. The top is where things fall from. Down here? We’re grounded. We’re the foundation. You can’t tear down a building if you don’t know where the roots are. Stay low. Stay loud. Underground.
