lyrics

Peace to Rocky Balboa, Ponyboy Curtis
Young Siddhartha on his journey still searchin
Young Esperanza from Mango street
Barry Horowitz shock em when Skip got beat
2014 Giants got them experts silent
3 times in 5 years let them trophies speak
Glen from Walking Dead stay one step ahead
And yes his lady white right I believe
In the underdog, often overlooked and ignored
Underrepresented yet they kick them doors
Down on the way up, a Casious Clay punch
Champ at 22 already the world shake up
Never glitter, smoke and mirrors, or the make up
Understand I’m Jackie Chan never fake stunts
Never made up raw like that steak blood
A pair of PF flyers fully laced up

This is a song for underdogs
Of course they ain’t showin love at all
Hopin that you quit you retire
That’s gasoline that’s fuel for the fire

I’m little Mac swingin fast in a title match
Megaman with low life but he fighting back
5 “7” Spudd Webb dunkin over heads
I’m Macguyver stay alive just escaping death
I’m the tortoise while hare moving way ahead
He think he winning but in the end I’m takin this
A young Picasso when the critics was hatin it
B-rabbit on stage not afraid to spit
Walter White when he just started makin meth
Before Gus got got before he makin bread
I’m Bruce Lee barely breathin in the Game of Death
Fredrick Douglas with the hunger to embrace a pen
Ender Wiggins killing the competition
A hail mary pass in the last two seconds
A prayer in air a game winning shot
Tianamen square when them tanks got stopped

This is a song for underdogs
Of course they ain’t showin love at all
Hopin that you quit you retire
That’s gasoline that’s fuel for the fire
