[Kwintell Wright Verse 1]
He was a smart kid makin' A's and B's/ Peers said see [C], you're a lame to me/ Met with a D-boy, started slangin' E/ All F's, dropped out, he became a G/ Homie wasn't no joke, no Late Night Letterman/ Pills in his pocket wasn't medicine/ Grandma stressed, overdosed Excedrin/ Raising nine kids, with her heart he's meddlin'/ Grandma prays as a gang that he bang with/ throws up fingers that ain't sign language/ DCFS took his parents out the picture/ Cookies and juice turned to molly and liquor/ Locked up, smacked, now his back's to the wall/ Grandma won't accept his collect calls/ Common tragedy of a troubled youth/ As a global misfit, what's a boy to do?
[Travis AUSTIN Chorus 1x]
From sunrise to sunset/ Tortoise in the race, you ain't done yet/ Dodge hater's keep rising, day of the underdog [the underdog] the underdog [the underdog]
[Kwintell Wright Verse 2]
She was a bright kid stranded on her own/ Pre-teen dumped in a foster home/ Daily she fights kids, can't call her home/ In a dog-eat-dog world, gotta claw for bones/ Troubled soul now with no other option/ Foster mom and pop scooped her up for adoption/ Just when she thought she could trust her new family/ Daddy Warbucks started touching little Annie/ Hard knock life when foster mom leaves her/ Daddy back hands her with four hard fingers/ If she tells anybody that he is groping her/ Its really not the future she was hoping for/ Sky blue dreams of studying nursing/ Puffs green and purp, grey clouds be lurkin'/ Common tragedy of a troubled youth/ As a global misfit, what's a girl to do?
[Chorus 1x]
[Kwintell Wright Verse 3]
I ain't go to the universities Harvard and Yale/ I'm from Englewood on the corner of Harvard by Yale/ Hard knock school, lucky if you graduate/ Where living to be older's hard to gravitate/ Where sons go in prison, come out as daughters/ At age twenty-five, you're an elder, partner/ Little girls on the block eatin' Now and Laters/ Hop scotch their innocence now and later/ Righting my wrongs, still ain't a saint though/ Still ironing horns out of my halo/ Ask J. CHRIST forgive me my sins/ Bodyguard haters, I lost a few friends/ Rose up out the negative, I'm so GQ/ Entrepreneurship, suave, who you foolin' with?/ Been underrated, degraded, haters come one come all/ I elevated, I made it day of the underdog!
[Chorus 2x]
[Outro Travis AUSTIN 6x]
Keep on rising, keep on moving
