Underdog - Acoustic Version
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
She was walking in the street
Looked up and noticed
He was nameless
He was homeless
She asked him his name
And told him what hers was
He gave her a story 'bout life
With a glint in his eye
And a corner of a smile
One conversation, a simple moment
The things that change us, if we notice
When we look up, sometimes
They said I would never make it
But I was built to break the mold
The only dream that I've been chasing is my own
So I sing a song for the hustlers
Trading at the bus stop
Single mothers
Waiting on a check to come
Young teachers
Student doctors
People on the front line
Knowing they don't get to run
This goes out to the underdog
Keep on keeping at what you love
And you'll find that someday soon enough
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
Yeah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
She's riding in a taxi
Back to the kitchen
Talking to the driver
'Bout his children and wife
A first responder
Who was risking a life
To give us a love
And get it right on time
She looked in his eyes
In the mirror and he smiled
One conversation, a simple moment
The things that change us if we notice
When we look up sometimes
They said I would never make it
But I was built to break the mold
The only dream that I've been chasing is my own
So I sing a song for the hustlers
Trading at the bus stop
Single mothers
Waiting on a check to come
Young teachers
Student doctors
People on the front line
Knowing they don't get to run
This goes out to the underdog
Keep on keeping at what you love
And you'll find that someday soon enough
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
Yeah, yeah
You gonna rise up
You gonna make it
Said we gonna rise up
Yeah
I sing a song for the hustlers
Single mothers
Young teachers
Student doctors
People on the front line
Knowing they don't get to run
This goes out to the underdog
Keep on keeping at what you love
You'll find that soon enough
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
