It's the underdog king, yeah that's me
Started from the bottom, but now I reached my peak
I ain't never been handed nothing, had to work hard for everything
But now I'm here, writing poetry on the biggest scenes
Underdog, that's what they used to call me
But now I'm on top, and they all wanna be me
I ain't never gonna stop, gonna keep climbing higher
I'm the underdog king, and I'm writing what you desire
Had to hustle and grind, put in work everyday
But all that hard work paid off, now I'm getting paid
People used to doubt me, said I wouldn't make it far
But I kept going, kept pushing, and I raised the fucking bar
I've been underestimated, overlooked and ignored
But I'm still here, giving it my all and more
I'll keep pushing forward, no matter how hard
They don't know what I'm made of, I'll prove them wrong, watch me go far
I never had it easy, always put to the test
But I keep on grinding, I won't settle for less
I know my worth and Ima fight 'til the end
They call me an underdog, but I'll rise up again
I'm not gonna back down, I won't be defeated
I'll keep on fighting, until I am seated
At the top of the throne, where I belong
This underdog, will prove them all wrong
I'm a fighter, I'm a survivor, yeah I'm fierce
And I ain't gonna let nobody bring me down here
I'm unstoppable, unbreakable, and I'm living proof
That anything is possible, if you work hard and stay true
Underdog, that's what they used to call me
But now I'm on top, and they all wanna be me
I ain't never gonna stop, gonna keep climbing higher
I'm the underdog king, and I'm lighting up the fire
Question
How has an alter ego killed every scene?
The underdog king
And I'm only here to inspire, to show you what it means
To never give up, to never back down
You can be the underdog, and still wear the crown
This ain't about being perfect or winning every fight
It's about owning our flaws and putting up a fight
Every time we fall, we get back up again
'Cause we're the true underdogs that never give in
The haters may have laughed, but we're the ones who persevere
We stand tall and proud, wiping away every tear
We'll rise up to the top and grab the crown
It's time for the losers to turn things around
So put your fists up, let me hear you shout
We're the winners, no matter what they talk about
We'll keep on moving forward, never looking back
'Cause we're the champions of the losers and we're on track
The haters can't stand it, they're talking all that smack
But the losers keep on winning, they ain't never looking back
They're staying focused, eyes on the prize
And when they reach the top, they'll celebrate their rise
I used to think success was only meant for the elite
But now I see the losers winnin' and they're dancin' in the street
They're putting in the work, grinding every day
And now they're getting paid, success is here to stay
Don't fuck with the underdogs we're on our grind and shit
No little rumors about me, check the facts like Trump in politics
The underdogs will shoot again, this is duck season bitch
I bust shots, don't duck unless the shoe fits
I love being the underdog
I love when people sleep on me
Cause when my opposition begins to realize they're about to slip up
They'll see they can't triumph over me
I'm the underdog
Bet against me
Have all the odds stacked against me
And watch the pressure make diamonds
I'm ready for the hate you'll give
Now
I know what you're thinking
How can I exhibit so much strength
When I've gone completely berserk?
How can I still speak
When people close to me rather have me death-con?
Even in my silence
I choose violence
Ready to change my name to David
So I can slay these Goliath's
If you counted me out, keep counting
You'll have to move or get moved like a mountain
The louder the dog barks
The less a lion feels threatened
You can catch these hands
And you going to hear me roar
I'm an underdog
I'm proud of it
This is my time to reign
And you're going to acknowledge it
I have nothing to lose
Nobody expects me to win
Except me
I'm a champion
Never a loser
I'm on track
The haters can't stand it, they're talking all that smack
But I keep on winning
Never looking back
I'm staying focused
With my eyes on the prize
And when I reach the top
I'll celebrate my rise
Then look down at you
And laugh at your demise.
