Going Under by XL (rap) Lyrics
[Intro]
"You need to start taking care of yourself. Not sitting outside getting high by yourself at one o-fucking-clock in the morning. Got it? That's not normal. It's not! Do you think it's normal?...Honestly. Answer me"
[XL]
Exhale the vapor thinking bout how Imma get the paper
It's either now or later, time is short, I pray I make it
You sit and pray I place myself up in harm's way
Keep an arm's length like gym class and ball games
It's all pain straight pacing round all day
Never show emotions so you know I got the poker face
Put your chips on 'em like a rabbit in a rat race
I'm interstellar when she tellin' me that she needs space
Hoes pay me 'fore they blow me so there's no connection
It's a class act, they need to teach another lesson
Take a hall pass unless you want your soul snatched
Need a preacher just to tell me my mistakes are all blessings
I'm doubled up now, similar to Smith & Wesson
A lethal weapon when we killing every mic we checkin'
Little wrestlers when it comes to talking that shit
My bitch Bruce Wayne swear to God she goin' batshit
[Hook]: (Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five)
"It's like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from going under"
(x4)
[Anonymous]
It never glitters cause the shatter never glistens
Cause it's splatter
Doesn't matter, that's how you dish it on a platter
Hood doctor, hit a nigga's line flat
Let's reread the thoughts I had all the way a year back
High school, I bombed that
Because I decided that I'd wreck more mics than Conrad
I'm bruisin' til I'm out my mind, yo
I pour a 40 out for all the niggas that get dropped by 5-0
Pussy rules the world, but it can get ahold of you
Just because you own it doesn't mean it won't be owning you
So before you takin' Daddy's cash, and Daddy's whip, and Daddy's stash so you can roll a fatty spliff
Just consider what your Daddy thinks of that shit
Before you out there wreaking havoc, causing madness
You like Cinemax after dark, you niggas is all bark
I'm like honor rolls on adderall, I'm on the road to lots of dough
[Hook]: (Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five)
[XL]
More clever when my ass is in the studio
I ain't stupid though, in fact I'll school you on this music hoe
I'm planning funerals for every runner in my lane
Its XL now, graduating to the fame
I excel when i press L's up to my frame
And I can tell when a fake is in the presence of greatness
They don't know they in the great's nest
When they pick me up they'll be like "Damn, what a great catch"
Place bets that success is what I'm gonna see
Unless they got a tech and I ain't talking 'bout computer geeks
Mic is legendary, stitched with a 2-3
And all my homies I know we always keep the 4-5
Cold world where I'm from, frozen in the summer
Surprised that my life hasn't been torn asunder
Can't stargaze in Hell but you won't be pulled under
We will always prevail, because Always XL
