[Esau]

All these kids today screaming underground, do
they know what it means

To make 7 albums, work everyday and go hungry
just to chase your dreams

To be #1 in Gavin, CMJ, Impact and BRE

Then have to beg a promoter to open up for
Run-D.M.C.

Nah, I don't think so, my shit's fat too, so is
his

But is there room for all of us in the shady rap
biz

Put your 12's out yourself, push it, beg the
pd

to play it and chart it, then maybe some kids
will hear of you in NYC

Or LA, or college in Tennessee or maybe it'll
reach overseas

To Italy and maybe even to the heads in the
military

If you're lucky, you're website will get 10 hits
a day

and Pizzo will sell your stuff online the
hiphopsite.com way

Even them cats at footwork will rock it or play
da record in t dot

Mr Bongo in London or all the HMV's in Oz

But until then keep posting up at Davy D and
rhyming over others beats

Until you get the knowledge kid, you won't know
what underground means



HOOK



You ain't underground cause you're white, or just
cause you're black

You ain't underground cause you recorded your
album on a 4 track

You ain't underground cause your beats are wack,
or even if they're fat

You ain't underground simply cause your shit is
abstract

You ain't underground cause you don't cypher,


you ain't underground cause you do

You ain't underground cause you can freestyle and
roll with a tight crew

You ain't underground with no airplay

You ain't underground with MTV play

You ain't underground cause 4 kids bump your shit
out in Tampa Bay

You ain't underground cause you don't buy
mixtapes

You ain't underground cause you do

You ain't underground cause you own every tape by
Touch and Clue

You ain't underground cause you're on the net

You ain't underground when you dub cassettes

You ain't underground cause you buy vinyl to rock
on your 1200 set

You ain't underground cause you post lyrics

You ain't underground cause you dis them

You ain't underground cause you hate EPMD or even
if you missed them

You ain't underground cause you're unknown

You ain't underground if you're unsigned

You ain't underground cause you analyze lyrics in
Company Flow rhymes

You ain't underground cause you like
Sugarhill

You ain't underground cause you keep it real

You ain't underground cause you do or do not
deal

You ain't underground cause you use big words

You ain't underground if you don't curse

You ain't underground cause you get creative with
your adverbs

You ain't underground cause you use metaphors, or
if you bore

You ain't underground cause you don't have
product in any major stores

You ain't underground, yeah I said it

You ain't underground, don't forget it

You ain't underground because your wack ass CD
ain't selling
