Underground
Cal Scruby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tosh.0, this a lil clip (This a lil clip)
Rip, rip, hit the kill switch (Kill switch)
Y'all got fake plays, I got real hits (Real hits)
Autotune, perfect pitch, and you still miss
Whiff, game over that's a lil flip (Lil flip)
I'm an independent legend, I'm a Will Smith (Will Smith)
Ayy, I'm underground, let's dig it up (Dig it up)
Never big enough, never satisfied
They say "Give it up", that's some bad advice
Had to work, had to sacrifice
This ain't Casa Blanca, this ain't black and white
Space Jam, roll it like it's '96
Freaky Friday the Ferrari, got the body switched
I got her hummin' like some Roddy Ricch
I don't know her man, but he prolly pissed
I keep it Sly like it's Rocky six
And on the low I get the hockey wrist
I'm from the sticks, it's obvious
I'ma slapshot Bobby if he copy this
Tosh.0, this a lil clip (This a lil clip)
Rip, rip, hit the kill switch (Kill switch)
Y'all got fake plays, I got real hits (Real hits)
Autotune, perfect pitch, and you still miss
Whiff, game over that's a lil flip (Lil flip)
I'm an independent legend, I'm a Will Smith (Will Smith, ayy)
Yeah, the jig is up, come pick it up (Pick it up)
Ayy, I'm underground, let's dig it up (Dig it up)
Ayy, whatchu lookin' for?
I'll help you find it (I'll help you find it)
I got the plug with the gas, it's a hybrid
They want 50-50, never signed it (Never signed it)
This a long Tony Hawk grind, should've timed it
I won't let it slide out the side (Out the side)
I don't do it for the simple mind, I designed it
Everything I drop is a reminder (A reminder)
I shut down Ohio way before DeWine did
Ooh, I'm sick, I'm cold, I'm different like Bryson
A trap soul transmission I'm a psychic (Psychic)
A psycho with ambition, you a side kick (Side kick)
You like road transition, yeah
Hit the Death Star and I never left Mars
Like a 30XR when I press start
V12 roarin' like it's Reptar
I'ma catch you even if you get a 20 second head start, hmm

@chaosembodiment9395
@Dillion Chatmsn naw. He definitely more aware of the pit falls. You can tell. Unfortunately probably from watching others fall into it.
We can be mad at their choices, but I'll never forget the lessons they taught with their actions and voices...

Love how the credits are 4 people including the artist... and it’s still better than 90% of mainstream videos with million dollar budgets.
