Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo Lemme tell you my story
How it all started and where we at now
Na
Once upon a time in a far far land
Born a little boy D.U.D.I is his brand
To Understand his pain
Lemme take you back to clear blue sky again
Welcome to demonic minds
Would you like to have a seat, maybe grab a cup of tea, put your feet up honestly
Lemme tell you my story, of getting truly, rudely bullied started at the age of 8

Never had to worry bout the fucken stakes
Now I'm walkin' on eggshells everyday

To maybe try and blowup up
Hope and pray To make it, did for the culture it's been fadin away
Way The rap game used to be illest fucken thing
Now it's filled with pussy mumble rappen bitches it's a shame

Underground rappers we be underrated Kings
But never underestimate our dreams (okay)
Underground rappers we be underrated Kings
But never underestimate our dreams (oh ya)

Trying find my path, trying find my way
Illustrated lyrist is lurkng working in da shadows
Words puzzling, I've been aggravated
Waiting patiently, calculating all the circumstances
I've been dominating, concentrating and delegating
Now your fates been carbon dated
I've been craving guts, liver maybe drink a bit of blood
No more hesitation you've been clearly castrated,
Hated most amongst us impossible for me to be imposter, my possy will
Pop u if they have to, before drop me
You don't the devilish deeds we've been through it all together
Like family if one goes down best believe all hell Catches earth on fire see?

Underground rappers we be underrated Kings
But never underestimate our dreams (okay)
Underground rappers we be underrated Kings
But never underestimate our dreams (oh ya)

Now you don't heard a lot bout me and my boys
Lemme tell you bout them phony ass hoes
That been doubtin from start, with a broken heart, fear in my mind believing
I ain't gonna make it, No!
But I still tried
And I hustled, and I cried
And I bleed nothing came out, god take me now
Give me faith, give me a sign, give me anything you blessin
All I wanna know is if I'm on the right path, that be that
Baby whatcha you sayin?
Need that diamond necklace?
Earrings? why you getting mad I'm working day and night for the cash
Ik it be lonely but I'm lonely too
Working thru the nights still thinking of you
Don't you worry baby boo it's just me and you?

Underground rappers we be underrated Kings
But never underestimate our dreams (Don't you dare)
