Eddy B & Tim Gunter - Underdog lyrics

rate me

Hook:

Let me see you put 'em up

Reach the sky, touch the stars up above

Cause it's, one time for the underdog

One time for the underdog.

You got the world on your team

Even if that ain't what it seems

It's one time for the underdog

One time for the underdog

A young nigga with a dollar and a dream

And these Nikes on my feet, tryna stay up out the streets

So I'm rhyming pulling 187s all on these beats

Stead of on the concrete

Cementing my future while they were focused on what they chief

But shit, I'm like a chief, head honcho

Tell me that it's impossible I'll get it to you pronto

Been workin' all these late nights and these early mornings like Alonzo

So one day they'll be callin' me great, just call me Gonzo

But, I'm never actin' nor is anybody pulling strings

Everything I have came from sacrificing everything

I traded workin' 9 to 5 for the minimum

For workin non-stop so my life be like a cinema screen

But in the end I wouldn't have it any other way

Got on my knees and for this rap to work is what I prayed

And now it's happening, crunchin' numbers like captain

A serial (cereal) killer compelling listeners with this passion for words

Never actin, my verbs were truly fashioned to serve

Not only masses but curbs, not just the hood, but the burbs

Know you hear it every time I grace the mic, then I give it to God

Feeling blinded by the lights, and it's on!

Repeat Hook x 1

A 20 year old dreamin' of whippin' Monte Carlo's

And gold jewelry lookin' like I cam from El Dorado

Pick up the pen and pad, stead of spittin gin and vag

I'm paintin' pictures with my words, just call me young Picasso

These haters only gas me up and then I mash the throttle

Binge drinkers think its safe to say should drop the bottle

Cause what I'm spittin' is proof, and truth is hard to swallow

When rappers losin' they heads, that's word to sleepy hollow

Nowadays they tryna flex, Johnny Bravo

And I'll be Rocky in the second fight against Apollo

Underdog, but you see, I won the war

Askin' me if I can spit is askin' me to raise the bar

I been in this place before, matter fact most of my life

They told me I would fail, die before I prove 'em right

Pennin' verses on my lunch bag, now I'm doin' shows

Lady luck blew me a kiss, now I'm a prince, never a toad

Bet your bottom, I'm the greatest, that's on everything I own

And though it isn't much, I want the world like Al Capone

I'm coming for the glory, this a sermon to the masses

The kid you shitted on is telling you to wipe his ass

Repeat Hook x 1
