"Underdog"
[Verse One]:
They lookin' at me like a Martian
n***as gon' make me a marksman
So if you on your mark then, ready set
Go, Shooter like Mark Whalberg
Most n***as is all words
Till I see them goons with sticks and toothpicks, y'all d'oeuvres
I'll appear, ya dead, nuff said
And who me?
A period baby, somethin' serious baby, no, seriously baby?
You don't like me fine
f** you too, I'm with them seats reclined in that DV9
My indie award, winner off the b.b. line
A few know what I'm back fo' read my mind
I'm, still king of the crib in it
Infinite street n***a, mixed with a distinguished gentleman
Before Fab threw the clubs in his songs
Hundai, where was he all night long?
In the Fords, in the crowbar
Ask 'Fay how he used to play in Prevay
He just learned about hi couture in '04
I been had finer things in designer jeans
My flow is so on another planet
Ha, better prepare for landin'
And it's sad to say
But when n***as feel threatened about what they don't understand and it turns to hate
So instead I turned to the great
Man upstairs He said, "P your turns comin', just wait."
So I waited
I kept writin'
They kept hatin'
And I ain't like it
But when you know you got a flow like a hydrant
And you don't rap like n***as in your environment
Tell me what the hell you supposed to do
If you was in my shoes, I'm in my space boots
But, my spaceship couldn't dip like Three Stacks
So I'm stuck on the Earth where the beats at
I guess I was just usin' my time wisely
Cause it's funny how these n***as despise me
But I'mma do it till the fork is in me
Tea baby, I guess we's Mork and Mindy, huh?
So ride with your boy through the orbit
Until the fat lady sings like Norbit
I told dudes I was really hot
Now I'm hoppin' off planes in them Jeremy Scotts
The standards I set, the product I gave
A lawyer couldn't pa** the bar that I've raised
Top 5 today and you don't say P?
Total disrespect, the whole city disagree
Dude, ask your boss, bet he listen to me
Got e'ryone of my mixtapes under his seat
Still I'm
[Hook]:
Underdog
Say I'm that
Underdog
[Verse Two]:
Some dudes sit on the porch and listen to 'Pac
I'd rather sit in the drop and listen to rock
Like, "Shhh here come the good part
Do do do do do
Damn, you hear them guitars?"
I'm a few strings short of a guitar
A little looney but the kid got a good heart
"Hey, why Khaled don't play your records?"
"I don't know. When you see him ask him that question."
Everybody wanna speculate and make suggestions
You know how the media twists it
When you get to ventin' they immediately will view it as dissin'
Who else could have closed out Listennnn...?
They thought I was a quiter
So they tried to do me like Luda did
In Hustle & Flow and throw my demo in the sh**ter
Instead of tryin' to Cry Me A River, Timerlakin'
Got my Tims laced, I'm anxious
Ready to take it over
There's no such thing as luck
So this is opportunity meetin' my preparation
Therefore I'm fully prepared for detonation
Count down till Product Of Determination
You see this raps on the plate that they left for him?
You see the dog with a cape on my left arm?
Therefore I got a point to prove
I'm goin' in twice as hard as you, you feel me?
So if you feel like you underrated, under paid, under appreciated
Don't hate it, you'se a
"Underdog"
Until the day you make it, when you get it let no one take it
Now repeat that
So if you feel like you underrated, under paid, under appreciated
Don't hate it, you'se a
"Underdog"
Until the day you make it, let no one take it
Now repeat that
