lirik lagu bad45 – above ground
1st verse:
i’ve been underground / didn’t find my sound
didn’t win a crowd / till i binned my old sound
and came up with something that’s me / bumping them phat beats
till i write something that has you jumping outta that seat
so, h-llo, good morning / ball’s in my court, man
wheel of fortune / i’mma get my portion
give you something flammable like gasoline / every time i’m recording
if you’re asking me / this game is all too boring
too many staying under their capacity / focusing on that flash money
me on some basic sh-t, though / it comes naturally
to me, to be humble / to get where i’ll be is a long road
still learning, yea’, journey is still on-going
so, from time to time i might tumble
but the key is to get back up cos / if i’ll be getting f-cked, b-tch, it’s proper
you see, all i need is a couple of / days to overcome writer’s block, i’ll
be back in the saddle / on track, make it rattle / ‘fore i tip my hat to ya, settle
for no less than an honest gesture of utter respect / rich in finesse, got those tracks that’ll
make ya cringe, make ya laugh, make ya cry / but if you ain’t in a benz they don’t ask for a ride
sometimes it makes you wonder why they don’t even deign to glimpse when i’m p-ssing ‘em by
but i ain’t bitter / just an uncut diamond / fine rhyme spitter / unloading litter
sometimes appear to / be frustrated by these motherf-cking feelings i can’t seem to get rid of
but i guess, it’s just being human / as i progress, best believe that i’m doing
everything necessary to be blooming / constant stress cos ideas in my head be mushrooming
it might take me a minute to figure this sh-t out / mr. big now
carry this sh-t to the next level / like a big gat, that’ll / blow your mind, you don’t wanna miss out
(you don’t wanna miss out…)
as i step through the fog / cats ask for more / give it to ‘em all raw
chorus: (x2)
this for the whole world to see
no secretive goals i’m exposing me
go for the gold, don’t overreach
people gon’ know all ‘bout me
over chorus:
i’m above ground
2nd verse:
leave out no details / born in h-ll / yea’, i’ve been to rock bottom
the boy you’d tell / you know how he felt / best believe, it’s not forgotten
but now i’m taking what’s mine and rightfully so / cos when i had that mind fulla hope
all you showed was strict denial for my hopes / and tried to confine my whole scope
to keep me from shining / but i kept rhyming / boy, i’m combining: intelligence with arrogance
keep it on a good level, though, so the latter won’t matter then / i only see myself better than / you
cos it’s obvious / god has blessed / me with the recipe / he answered my request
i’m moving bodyless / free spirit / six feet deep was where my body rested
now, i’m resurrected / uninfested by any of the bullsh-t that had you infected
i’m walking amongst the living dead / putting together ideas in my head
full throttle, keeping this b-tch in the red / my scope infrared / every diss’ll feel like lead
piercing your body / “oh my god, he’s / probably / inspired by kamikaze”
no, i’m not / but sometimes i’ve got that feeling in my gut / it’s time for some rivalry
plus, it’s finally / time that i eat / cos too many times that cake has been p-ssed by me
chorus: (x2)
this for the whole world to see
no secretive goals i’m exposing me
go for the gold, don’t overreach
people gon’ know all ‘bout me
over chorus:
i’m above ground
