trippy j – underdog lyrics
intro
yeah, this connects deep to me man (ay yeah)
hook
they told me to stand in my power (i did)
man i’ve being standing for hours (for real)
standing for weeks, months, years (i do)
i guess i really do learn from defeat
i put my soul in a bind
notice the coldest of minds are frozen
but i’m holding time and i’m opening mine
they don’t know it now but, i bet they gon’ figure it out (they will)
they told me to stand in my power (i did)
man i’ve been standing for hours (for real)
standing for weeks, months, years (i do)
i guess i learn from defeat
i put my soul in a bind
notice the coldest of minds are frozen
but i’m holding time and i’m opening mine
they don’t know it now they’ll figure it out
verse 1
and i was the underdog
swing and i’ll come out with muddy claws
lapping them all as they run along
body is stained and strength is the one i ain’t rubbing off
confident awkwardness starting this art that can
change my life, i put in the work (i do)
it took me to suicide thinking it’s do or die
now i know i found my purpose
and i am too deep to give up
shoot the kid down, i got steel in my lungs
receiving the funds
i put my heart in the music and now i’m not bleeding for none
i never knew that i had all these friends until i was actually speaking to one
i know i’m a legend and i know that i got it
it’s safe to say that i believe i’m the one (i do)
pre+hook
i’m putting my nose to the dirt
i am not hoping it works (no)
i work till i’m dead and then build a casket
just to say that i was closing it first (haha)
had them hooked with the opening words
i take a breath and i’m holding the verse
i brought to life and k!ll it as well
dying a legend is my only concern
hook
they told me to stand in my power (i listened)
man i’ve been standing for hours (facts)
standing for weeks, months, years
i guess i learn from defeat (i do)
i put my soul in a bind (yeah)
notice the coldest of minds are frozen
but i’m holding time and i’m opening mine
they don’t know it now (they don’t)
but i bet they gon’ figure it out
they told me to stand in my power (i did)
men i’ve been standing for hours (yeah)
standing for weeks, months, years
i guess i learn from defeat (i do)
i put my soul in a bind
notice the coldest of minds are frozen
but i’m holding time and i’m opening mine
they don’t know it now but they’ll figure it out
verse 2
and i see my face on a billboard
you want a feature i’ll send you a bill for it
they’re tryna tear me down, take me apart
but you couldn’t break me i’m built for it
and lately, i’m talking to god he’s talking to me and we’re talking a lot
he said that he’s got me
i knew that he did
i’m on my last leg but i’m walking it off
and then i start with a jog my feet hit the dirt and i’m swallowing fog
i run through the clouds, and i jump through the atmosphere
even this high i’m still falling a lot
hearing it ring while i’m calling the shots
pick up the phone, no more watching the box
running the pipes and i’m laying the wood
i’m building a house and it’s off of the top
pre+hook
i’m putting my nose to the dirt
i am not hoping it works (no)
i work till i’m dead and then build a casket
just to say that i was closing it first (haha)
and i’m hooked with the opening words
i take a breath then i’m holding the verse
i brought to life, i’ll k!ll it as well
dying a legend is my only concern
hook
they told me to stand in my power (i listened)
men i’ve been standing for hours (facts)
standing for weeks, months, years
i guess i learn from defeat (i do)
i put my soul in a bind (yeah)
notice the coldest of minds are frozen
but i’m holding time and i’m opening mine
they don’t know it now (they don’t)
but i bet they gon’ figure it out
they told me to stand in my power (i did)
men i’ve been standing for hours (yeah)
standing for weeks, months, years
i guess i learn from defeat (i do)
i put my soul in a bind
notice the coldest of minds are frozen
but i’m holding time and i’m opening mine
they don’t know it now but they’ll figure it out
