Yo

Understand I'm on a path that I ain't choose at all

And realized before I make it I could lose it all

What is suitable a suit and tie for you or I

Who decides, white tee, 1's lookin stupid fly

If I blew tomorrow tell me what would change in life

Would it be my money and friends or the lame advice

I wonder what the fame is like or if its mainly hype

Maybe slight contradictory to what they paint it like

Either way it's cool I made further then they said

Thought that I'd be serving burgers but instead

I woke up early mornings welcomin the grind

Half awake from pennin verses and emerssed within a rhyme

Swervin when I drive eyes lazy and closing

Thinkin future me should be thankful when he's older

I mean, I put in work and paid my dues in this game

If I could turn the clock back then I'd do it the same

 

This to everybody who said that I did it wrong

And for anyone who's like me sing along

A million to one I know who I'm bettin on

Here's a toast to the under dog

This to everybody who said that I did it wrong

And for anyone who's like me sing along

A million to one I know who I'm bettin on

Here's a toast to the under dog

 

I remember thinkin life isn't fair

A White boy baggy clothes so they likely to stare

Come home get kicked I'd head right for the stairs

Starin at my younger brother while he's wipin his tears

I swear ... I made my own rules and followed that

Went from High School drop out to College grad

I ackowledge that I finished and all

But you should prolly understand that I did it for Narn

My grandmother used to tell me she prayin for me

Didn't believe in God so she had to say it for me

I was raised to pay it forward not to pay it for me

I felt like I was playin catch up but you waited for me

But through pain is glory and a faded story

Hate the way I used to make my mother stay up late and worry

But as fate will have it I'm breakin these hateful habbits

I'm greatful that it's in the past and & I made it back

 

This to everybody who said that I did it wrong

And for anyone who's like me sing along

A million to one I know who I'm bettin on

Here's a toast to the under dog

This to everybody who said that I did it wrong

And for anyone who's like me sing along

A million to one I know who I'm bettin on

Here's a toast to the under dog
