It's Going Down
H-Town UnderWorld Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A lot is happening behind the curtains
I see you rappers caping
Acting like you got it all while you got nothing.
What you know about husting
What you know about grinding
All you rappers just faking
Started from a Zero we're going to a 100
Yeah I'm on a mission and it's not impossible
You know Imma get it
We making moves while you sleeping
Getting stressed all the time
Depression is my friend now but I'm still on course
Slept on rapper but I'm packed with skills rappers gotta chill
Em Chains on Nike on their feet but they got no studio
Looking for a free session rappers gotta chill
Still doing my own
Working towards the jackpot
Started from scratch but I'm hoping for the best
Still doing my own
Working towards the jackpot
Started from scratch but I'm hoping for the best
It doesn't matter how long it takes
The mission is to proceed and secure my place
I cross over troubles on my lane
I do it hard yeah I go like a slave
I gotta keep it going
The mission keeps on going
I gotta keep it going
The hustle keeps on going
One in the same, me and you
We got a lot to prove, started subpar now we touching the roof
Now my tongue forever stuck in the booth
Feeling they venemous ways, mental mathematics my proof
Things ain't adding up
Don't need a cosign, cuz when we throw signs
We leave you bleeding or you black and blue
But through the violence we'll be pushing through
Never was in my scheme, spreading peace
It be the cleanest
Turn up the K Dot, ain't no love in this mAAd City
Break a left on my block, ride slow keep it in motion
Not many is built for this life, I was chosen
I keep the mast high, storm is in the ocean waves choppy
But the cuts never sloppy
They tend to copy us
Copy? Repeat
Now send the signal back through the monitor
People be quoting but never do honor you
I'm spitting these heavenly sonnets for the ones that will follow it's young Oscar
It doesn't matter how long it takes (It doesn't matter yeah)
The mission is to proceed and secure my place (The mission has to go on yeah)
I cross over troubles on my lane (Yeaaah yeah)
I do it hard yeah I go like a slave
I gotta keep it going (Gotta keep on moving yeah)
The mission keeps on going (The mission has to go on and on)




I gotta keep it going (Gotta keep on moving)
The hustle keeps on going
