Underground Railroad

All my people
Come and walk with me
See the things I’ve seen
On the underground railroad
Seen talented rappers with music coming out their pores
Reduced to nothing more than chalk lines on a floor
Because a double life’s a troubled life
And we don’t know no other type
It’s just us blind holding scales and a corded mic
Flow so underground sounds traveling through the water pipes
Still I keep striving some ain’t surviving
Holding mothers in tears because there sons ain’t rising
Gears in a machine of not stop grinding
For whips, chains, slaves to the ‘caine
Ain’t nobody playing but we calling it the game
Don’t confuse it with music because your name will get you slain
And this rap shits a tactic to flip a little change
I got to go harder to show my seeds a way
Teach them while they grow how not to throw their dreams away
This railroad track led me straight to the A
But my local motives always smoking in the K
Now I’ve seen the scene just in between blowing up and quitting
Obscene the things I’m weaning from addicted to a living
Posted like a poster on the wall in one position
Pieces of my soul become the coal that fuels my engine
Steaming round the land to foreign fans that want to listen
In Sweden going hard in England going hard
Through Switzerland where border guards try to pull your card
Fans in the thousands hearing screams and applause
Come home hustling still my fool time job
Because them screams and applause ain’t keep my lights on
Learned the world ain’t on your team because they’re singing your fight song
So I got to own the moment and hold it till I’m gone
I’ve been on these tracks and traveling for a while
Seen nigga dreams start unraveling over miles
Surrender in their eyes disguised by faint smiles
I might rest for a minute but nigga I’m never down
