Underground Vandal Lyrics

Follow this…

[Hook]

People from the overworld, don't bother trying to pay attention
The names you hear are too real, beyond your comprehension
'Bout to burn your earlobes, with my arsonistic tactics
Bring it on, surface versus under, it's automatic

[Verse 2: Freestyle]
Caught in the middle of breakin' and being Mr. Live at block parties
Status of Mr. Man, I have a change of plans
Spraying Elements of Style, so graffiti is surviving
TC5, TCK, NBK, y'all keep it live and sky's the limit
Either that or nosedive, it takes practice to make your J-Live
So I shoot to swish in this business
Making records from the heart and soul
When it's crunchtime, all it's gonna boil down to:
Are my Wordsworth, the Punchline?
The Gifted One like a Jemini, Double Trouble, triple metaphors
I'm Mr. Complex and always Rock Steady in my context
I X-Men til they're Invisbl, like them Scratch masters, Supernatural
Resource disaster, Black Star in Bushwick
I'm known to Mop Tops with Natural Elements, huh
The Juggaknot that can't be stopped
Last Emperor from Saukrates to Toynbee
Making no Dead Presidents, but don't no label own me!
My Cartel consists of Shabazz and Beatnuts
Krash Dummiez and 5th Platoon supplying the killer cuts
I'm in a room with MF DOOM, Dr. Octagon and Killah Priest
They all have you underground, resting in peace

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
