Underworld
L'Orange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Some call it the power of angels or devils"
"Hey, who the devil are you anyway?"
"Superstitious fear in the underworld by means of his magician's tricks"
Sometimes I feel like the world is going under
Sky full of clouds, all I hear is thunder
Waiting for the fall, any chance they can hop in
Come and dip with me in the night, baby
Sometimes life gets crazy
You know I hold you down, baby, give you solace
Come and ride with the flyest
An OG told me nothing's ever promised
Shit can get grimy, nigga, you don't want no problems
Just watch your back, ‘cause somebody's always watching
Put on a mask and burn a bike, call me Robin
I'm from a place similar to Gotham
Out in the streets, you can catch me on the cottage when the semis explode
Hide your son and your daughter
Shoot out tire, drive your truck into water
No survivors, fire-rama
She wanna dip with the llama
But disrespect the god, meet the rhymer
Sometimes it feel like the world's going under
(Sometimes it feel like the world's going under)
Sometimes it feel like the world's going under
(Sometimes it feel like the world's going under)
Sometimes it feel like the world's going under
(Sometimes it feel like the world's going under)
Sometimes it feel like the world's going under
(Sometimes it feel like the world's going under)
Sometimes I feel like the world is going under
Sky full of clouds, all I hear is thunder
Sometimes I feel like somebody's always watching
Waiting for the fall, any chance they can hop in
Come and dip with me in the night, baby
Sometimes life gets crazy
You know I hold you down, baby, give you solace
Come and ride with the flyest
Sometimes it's like a maze, soft shoe on the pavement
Cab Calloway, my goon's on a holiday
Cash cow, now you cashed out in the wrong place
Attack on the faint, it's a war zone
Sometimes it's dark and you're all alone
In the battles with the soul you go cold
Feeling rattled in the dome, you don't know
Damn where to go
End up on a dead end street with no love, just desire for peace
Blacked out, no white, you can barely see
Sometimes it feel like the world's going under
(Sometimes it feel like the world's going under)
Sometimes it feel like the world's going under
(Sometimes it feel like the world's going under)
Sometimes it feel like the world's going under
(Sometimes it feel like the world's going under)
Sometimes it feel like the world's going under
(Sometimes it feel like the world's going under)
He wanna know where he can go to find relief
She wanna know wherever their love can be free
What is destined [?] to them is living in a dream
On the run, trying to make it out the same scheme: to be free
To be continued…
This half hour Saturday night adventure program recreates the authentic atmosphere of old...
