tech n9ne collabos - underdog lyrics

[intro: tech n9ne]
why were the people appointed to lift us up pulling us down?
in the school i don’t think they like hooligans hanging around
but our neighborhood is no reason to shun us
the treatment they gave us was unjust
wonder how they’re feeling now the gun’s up

[verse 1: tech n9ne]
“you’re dead” is what a teacher uttered to me in school like for sure lead
or incarcerated animal like manure fed underdog [?], probably pure bred
indeed was frightening to be left in the dark, desperately in need of brightening
we the trifling be the titans to succeed writing with the speed of lightening
all doubt, everything coming out of your mouth
poverty stricken, we never get stalled out
[?]
now everybody coming with their paws out
when i really needed none of y’all vouch
said i was gonna fail, they thought i would be living in jail and never prevail, created a living h+ll but i crawled out
under? nah, underground
underdog, under crowns
be careful who you talk down to
because the lower you take them, later in life is where me and the homies found you

[chorus: head da don]
they said i’d be dead, broke, p+ss poor, in poverty all my life
said i’d be in jail hopeless, they didn’t know sh+t, thinking negative my life
underestimated, yet still i made it
underdog, it’s understood, we winning, it feels amazing
[verse 2: head da don]
yeah i was a menace, that part i admit
see, all of my teachers said i wouldn’t be sh+t
i came from the bottom, we did what we gotta
them times we were starving i’ll never forget
look at me, i’m up now, buss down pinky, my ears and my neck and my wrists
said if be dead or in jail, well tell all my haters to make it make sense
different stages, different flights, different cities like every night
sell out shows with tech and x, this a little flex, this music my life
ain’t no dimming my light, ain’t no stopping my shows
i keep profiting more, used to sleep on the floor
now look, we up and don’t give a f+ck
living my dream, what i’m put here for, yeah
they try to say what i can’t do, to all of my haters, i thank you
when you at the bottom you stay losing, at least that’s the picture they paint you
let ’em know that ain’t you, roses grow from pain, too
if you need a witness or reason to do it, tell ’em all mine came true

[verse 3: x+raided]
1, 2, 3, 4, they counted me out, i’m sesame streeter now
some who need more all regret the way they doubted me now
it was destined to be, it’s a blessing to see how i bubbled up because i did it injecting these
big words instead of big birds but they slept on me, snuffleupagus
spent a couple decades stuck in a maze, how i made it out i’m f+ckin’ amazed
doing life, should’ve been stuck in a cage ’til i died, dented up in a grave
tombstone if you coming for me seven days a week, even holliday’s
“i’m your huckleberry” if you double dare me, barely made it free but my momma prayed
now aneraé and amir got a father present and their mere presence taught a lesson
how paying attention and spending time is more impressive than if i went and bought a present
their momma’s essence, yes it set the tone, everything is cl!cking like a metronome
no bedrest in a convalescent home, surrounded by family, never left alone
that’s not what they wanted to see, i fell and somehow ended up on my feet
this is not the life they wanted for me, from a broken home, never repaired or complete
nightmares that they coming for me and it’s vivid, lucid, waking up in my dreams
they watching, waiting, hope i suffer defeat, i been unforgiven since a teen
[chorus: head da don]
they said i’d be dead, broke, p+ss poor, in poverty all my life
said i’d be in jail hopeless, they didn’t know sh+t, thinking negative my life
underestimated, yet still i made it
underdog, it’s understood, we winning, it feels amazing
