Lyrics

Yo, let's do this
I'm in tune with my surrounding, underground lounging
Fuckin heads up cause I'm astounding
I bring the light where it's dark, microphone spark
Annual picnic at the park
Manifest, get blessed, take the stage at 6:30
**** living scurvy in the dirty
28, almost 30, livin' in a hurry, always gotta worry
I be the one to question why some people wanna die
Do you really think it's fly spendin' all your days high
Composes elevation, droppin' knowledge about masons
And all these white faces who be giving brothas cases
Lock us all up, now we running out of spaces
Now I'm pumping on the grenadine, sippin' on the dark beer
Far from where I came, driving in my car I steer
Imagining chilling upstate in a cabin
Revolutionary planning growing trees and bagging them
Long distance shooter, brainwashed by recruiters
We running out of paper so they put it on computers
Existing temporary, write my rhymes on stationery
Got the sweetest literary, underground legendary
Peace divine digs, making small things big
I guess it's all dramatics when you see how we live
Word up, it's the real shit
You know I'm shining underground
Shining underground
(I'm gonna give it to ya)
You know I'm shining underground
(I'm gonna give it to ya)
You know I'm shining underground
(I'm gonna give it to ya)
You know I'm shining underground
Beyond the physical, I hit you with the spiritual
Lyrical imperial, praise my material
Blessed to be the one and only soldier for my own survival
Now I know my rival cause we livin' genocidal
The war is in the mind of the man who can't find his own self
That's why I knowledge myself
Education, rationale, expectations
Some minds are sworn negation, alcohol a free basin
I'm shining in the under, watch the sun bring the thunder
Kicking lyrics like a punter, getting deep like Stevie Wonder
I'm laid back, relaxed, flowin' lyrics like a saxophone
Comin' through your microphone, the sun stand alone
The underground coffee house, cappuccino grip
Shinin' in the club, the brightest even though it's dim lit
I rip a session with aggression, one of the best in this profession
By impression, it's a blessing, so come and get your lesson
You know I'm shining underground
(I'm gonna give it to ya)
You know I'm shining underground
(I'm gonna give it to ya)
You know I'm shining underground
(I'm gonna give it to ya)
You know I'm shining underground
You see my mind is my companion
I'm deeper than the Grand Canyon
When the smoke clear, I'm the one who's standing
Intensive, comprehensive, here to tap into your conscience
All this rap is nonsense, so I gotta drop the logic
My context is magical, lyrics philosophical
When the sun rises on an island that be tropical
Drop the topic, yo, you better act like you know
Watch the sun float, young is a pro
Professional, knowledge in the medical
Socioeconomical, gotta stay on point, no time for comical
Time is minimal, so I hit you with subliminals
Fiendin' for some beats, so I call my **** chemical
Ain't no stopping, I rock the house like Janis Joplin
Levels elevate every time I registrate
Keep the party live from the vibe I generate
I'm live like a sex show, flowing like Aquinas
Make you shit from your anus, deep space like Uranus
I hit your village, I break your ass like acrylic
Bringing flows from umbilic, makin' sure you gonna feel it
I'm way beyond an adolescence, I'm effervescent
I'm one with the essence, like the star in the crescent
It's another lesson, like the turkey and the dressing
Holidays with the peeps holding hands before the blessings
You know I'm shining underground
(I'm gonna give it to ya)
You know I'm shining underground
(I'm gonna give it to ya)
You know I'm shining underground
(I'm gonna give it to ya)
You know I'm shining underground
(I'm gonna give it to ya)
You know I'm shining underground
You know I'm shinin' underground
Big up to my girl Invincible, word is bond
Mad Chemical Productions, yo, yo
J.R.J., word up, my man Mark Kip, my **** Craig O
Cousin Q, yo, brother Mike, yo, yo
Yo, I know I forgot somebody
It's the S.U.N., you know what I'm sayin'?
See, word is born
