"Underdog" lyrics
Abstract & ELLIS! Lyrics
(feat. Skizzy Mars)
Watch out, here I come
It's been a minute but you ain't seen nun yet
Just look how far we've come
Always been an underdog, underdog
Watch out, here I come
It's been a minute but you ain't seen nun yet
Just look what we came from
Who would have expected that from the underdog?
Back against the wall is just a better view
Survey the situation calmly 'til I make a move
That spotlight will leave you blinded to their true intentions
That's why I move in shadows, ammo in my circumvention
I learned my lessons tryna play the game by their conventions
Dress it up the way they do it, water down my message
But I lost my will to float within that risin' tide
Gotta remember that my methods kept my dream alive
Woulda been nice to come from city lights and nepotism
I came from starry nights and quiet towns with skepticism
I hear 'em lyin' in their lines all for some quick attention
Doing yoga with their truth, they just love to stretch it
I got here ownin' who I am, a path they rarely travel
But I know only god can judge 'em, I don't hold the gavel
Know that it may seem old-fashioned and a little odd
But I still proudly carry torch for all the underdogs
Watch out, here I come
It's been a minute but you ain't seen nun yet
Just look how far we've come
Always been an underdog, underdog
Watch out, here I come
It's been a minute but you ain't seen nun yet
Just look what we came from (Yeah yeah)
Who would have expected that from the underdog? (Yeah, ayy, look)
I'm comin' in hot, aimin' for the top
Just copped a new drop plus a new watch
Stay disciplined, let my youngins watch
You could do it too, make sure you never stop
Internal motivation, daily affirmations
Self-actualization, I just practice patience
The focus is economic salvation
For my bloodline
You should call your mama, I just hugged mine
That shows to haters from my early days
They just copy-paste, I originate
It's a marathon, this is not a race
Comin' in hot, pickin' up the pace
Watch out, here I come
It's been a minute but you ain't seen nun yet
Just look how far we've come
Always been an underdog, underdog
Watch out, here I come
It's been a minute but you ain't seen nun yet
Just look what we came from
Who would have expected that from the underdog?
It's been a minute but you ain't seen nun yet
Just look how far we've come
Always been an underdog, underdog
Watch out, here I come
It's been a minute but you ain't seen nun yet
Just look what we came from
Who would have expected that from the underdog?
Back against the wall is just a better view
Survey the situation calmly 'til I make a move
That spotlight will leave you blinded to their true intentions
That's why I move in shadows, ammo in my circumvention
I learned my lessons tryna play the game by their conventions
Dress it up the way they do it, water down my message
But I lost my will to float within that risin' tide
Gotta remember that my methods kept my dream alive
Woulda been nice to come from city lights and nepotism
I came from starry nights and quiet towns with skepticism
