For The Underground
Somehow I made a mark
Just a kid with a dream from the trailer park
It's hard to not get caught in between all the fame and the making art
Not on top
But you can't call me an underdog
Who'da thought I'd change lives
When I wrote these songs
Just had to scream it loud
It's been 10 long years
I've been working and they hear me now
They put a lock on the gate
So the team had to go around
I'm at a bar getting drinks
With the strangers I was warned about
Mainstream talks
But I speak for the underground
My momma sat front row
Watched me sing at my fifth grade talent show
So crazy how life goes
I'm at red rock sharing the stage with Jelly Roll
Stand in awe as 10.000 people sing along
Higher highs helped me find the fear falling off
Will they remember me at all?
It's been 10 long years
I've been working and they hear me now
They put a lock on the gate
So the team had to go around
I'm at a bar getting drinks
With the strangers I was warned about
Mainstream talks
But I speak for the underground
If they scripted my next play
Will the real me start to fade?
How much weight can I hold till I gotta set it down?
It's been 10 long years
I've been working and they hear me now
They put a lock on the gate
So the team had to go around
If they scripted my next play
Will the real me start to fade?
Mainstream talks
But I speak for the underground
Yeah I speak for the underground
Yeah I speak for the underground
Just a kid with a dream from the trailer park
It's hard to not get caught in between all the fame and the making art
Not on top
But you can't call me an underdog
Who'da thought I'd change lives
When I wrote these songs
Just had to scream it loud
It's been 10 long years
I've been working and they hear me now
They put a lock on the gate
So the team had to go around
I'm at a bar getting drinks
With the strangers I was warned about
Mainstream talks
But I speak for the underground
My momma sat front row
Watched me sing at my fifth grade talent show
So crazy how life goes
I'm at red rock sharing the stage with Jelly Roll
Stand in awe as 10.000 people sing along
Higher highs helped me find the fear falling off
Will they remember me at all?
It's been 10 long years
I've been working and they hear me now
They put a lock on the gate
So the team had to go around
I'm at a bar getting drinks
With the strangers I was warned about
Mainstream talks
But I speak for the underground
If they scripted my next play
Will the real me start to fade?
How much weight can I hold till I gotta set it down?
It's been 10 long years
I've been working and they hear me now
They put a lock on the gate
So the team had to go around
If they scripted my next play
Will the real me start to fade?
Mainstream talks
But I speak for the underground
Yeah I speak for the underground
Yeah I speak for the underground
