[Intro: Tech N9ne]
Why were the people appointed to lift us up pulling us down?
In the school I don't think they like hooligans hanging around
But our neighborhood is no reason to shun us
The treatment they gave us was unjust
Wonder how they're feeling now the gun's up
[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
"You're dead" is what a teacher uttered to me in school like for sure lead
Or incarcerated animal like manure fed underdog with no sleep, probably pure bred
Indeed was frightening to be left in the dark, desperately in need of brightening
We the trifling be the Titans to succeed writing with the speed of lightening
All doubt, everything coming out of your mouth
Poverty stricken, we never get stalled out
[?] bright red like when you saw gout
Now everybody coming with their paws out
When I really needed none of y'all vouch
Said I was gonna fail, they thought I would be living in jail and never prevail, created a living hell but I crawled out
Under? Nah, underground
Underdog, under crowns
Be careful who you talk down to
Because the lower you take them, later in life is where me and the homies found you
[Chorus: Head Da Don]
They said I'd be dead, broke, piss poor, in poverty all my life
Said I'd be in jail hopeless, they didn't know shit, thinking negative my life
Underestimated, yet still I made it
Underdog, misunderstood, we winning, it feels amazing
