Lyrics

Once again, the college boys on the realest tip
It's been a long, strong way from the get-go
Rollin' to the studio, ridin' on a metro
I see my homeboys pimpin'
I barely got bus fare, they rollin' in a Lincoln
I wonder why it's like that
One week it's a Jag, next week it's a Cadillac
We went to the same schools
Different minds and different goals to pursue
Of course he's dead now
Him and his crew shot down by the boys in blue
The price you pay for the life you choose
The plague of the underground blues
The underground blues
She used to be an old fling
But it came to a stop when she wanted an engagement ring
Had to have it her way
Now she's married to a man that she seldom sees for days
Her life is in shambles
Can't pay no bills because her husband gambles
She knows they ain't livin' right
But to avoid the fight, she cries into the moonlight
He's insecure and unfair
So in times of silence, he resorts to violence
The price you pay for the life you choose
The plague of the underground blues
The underground blues
Whether we like it or not
There comes a time when we all must face the underground blues
And in those times, we say goodbye to the good times
The good times
He'd never seen his old man
Unsure of the truth through the length of his lifespan
He's one of many others
Several choose to move, but this one suffers
Frustrated by his mind state
For the love he never had makes it easier to hate
He sees what his mother goes through
Supportin' a teenage son plus two
Gangstas, but what did you expect though?
They never seen more than the ghetto
At times it seems we were born to lose
The plague of the underground blues
The underground blues
The underground blues
Peace
