These others artists I'm above them even if I'm under the ground
A rapper with a Maybach or a car that my ass can't afford

from R.A. The Rugged Man (Ft. Rampage) – The People's Champ Lyrics on Rap Genius

Underground is a term used widely in hip hop, describing an artist that isn’t very known. R.A. plays on this term, by saying that he’s above most artists skill-wise, even though they are above — popularity-wise — him since he’s underground.

Furthermore, he’s taking a stab at the currently very popular Maybach Music Group, consisting of prominent artists such as Rick Ross, Wale and French Montana.

Since he’s underground, he can’t afford a Maybach car such as them, but in relation to the earlier punchline, he’s still way better than them when it comes to rapping — money ain’t everything!
