Underground Kings Lyrics

Bridge over troubled water
Ice in my muddy water
Rich off a mixtape
Got rich off a mixtape

Probably shouldn't be driving
It just got so much harder
Can't even see it straight
I can't even see it straight

Aw, fuck with me
I'll buy the shots
Live a little
Cuz niggas die a lot
And lie a lot
But I'm the truth, that's right I fucking said it
The living proof that you ain't gotta die to get to heaven

You, girl
You right there
You look like you like this shit
How'd I know? How'd I know?
That's me on some psychic shit

I can tell a lie if you're asking me my whereabouts
But I might talk that real if you ask me what I care about
Rapping, bitches
Rapping, bitches, bitches and rapping
Rapping and bitches until all of it switches
I swear it's been two years since somebody asked me who I was
I'm the greatest, man, I said that before I knew I was

That's what's important what really happened before this
When me and my crew was all about this rapper from New Orleans
Singing "Walking like a man, finger on the trigger
I got money in my pocket I'm a uptown nigga"

With fame on my mind
My girl on my nerves
I was pushing myself to get something that I deserve

That was back in the days, Acura days
I was a cold dude I'm getting back to my ways

People always ask how I got my nice things
Take my crown to the grave, I'm an underground king
I bet we can make tonight the greatest story ever told
Cuz I'm down to spend whatever, lately I've been on a roll
And I do it for my city, cuz you know the city love a nigga
Do it for the city, cuz you know the city love a nigga
Do it for the city, cuz you know the city love a nigga
Do it for the city (UGK, fuck these other niggas)

Sometimes I need that romance
Sometimes I need that pole dance
Sometimes I need that stripper that's gon tell me that she don't dance
Tell me lies, make it sound good, make it sound good
Do me like the women from my town would

Leather with that wood grain
Persian rugs on wood floors
Talking all them good things
That's all I'm really good for
Memphis, Tennessee know
See I started to go deep back
In Ridge crest with my seat back
With Yo Gotti and E Mac
And these niggas got them diamonds glowin in they mouth
And they rock the furs like it's snowing in the south
And every pretty girl tell me that's the shit that she like
So why am I in class if this is who I'm trying to be like?

So I dropped out
Lessons I was taught and quick to fade
Soon as I realized turning papers in won't get me paid
And if I don't do nothing I'mma ball
I'm counting all day like the clock on the wall
Yeah I need that

Making major changes to the life I'm living
I had no choice I had to prove I made the right decision

That was back in the days, Acura days
I was a cold dude I'm getting back to my ways
People always ask how I got my nice things
Take my crown to the grave, I'm an underground king
I bet we can make tonight the greatest story ever told
Cuz I'm down to spend whatever lately I've been on a roll
And I do it for my city, cuz you know the city love a nigga
Do it for the city, cuz you know the city love a nigga
Do it for the city, cuz you know the city love a nigga
Do it for the city, (UGK, fuck these other niggas)
