Underdog

Somewhere in between being a have not and cash knots
Cruising through the city at night, moon in the backdrop
Scheming on a plan for a million, thinking up mad plots
Invest in mad stocks but I'm really hoping this rap pop
Hopes and dreams that turn to reality boost my dopamine
This grind give me a high, I'm addicted, no need for coke or lean
I always go for broke, got to take a risk for that dough and green
Get in our way, then we crack heads, like we been known to fiend
Yea you can say I'm underrated, what that supposed to mean
I been through rough patches like a smokers dosing his nicotine
Last couple of years been so crazy feel like a Fever dream
But never knock the hustle, can't stop it, I'm tryna feed the team
I put them on my back and the world just sits on my shoulder blades
And I don't feel no pain like my system running off Novocain
The underdog, that's how I play it so fuck a favorite
If I ain't the one, and if you ain't heard me then stop debating uh

Success stories are written in blood you shed from your sacrifices
Discipline is something you build from learning to shed your vices
Ima scholar with these words this is creative writing
Beat is thunder, these words are lightning, you can't escape me striking
Real niggas penning the verses and all the fake reciting
Hate is heightened when you start rising, niggas be shaken, frightened
Tryna sound like every other rapper you be vaguely biting
Any time you dropping a new track you should maybe cite them
I'm simply inspiring, hear (click) then I'm firing
Get hit now you spiraling, somebody yelling quickly revive him
Paramedics on the scene, your ears are ringing with sirens
They brought you back to life to face me now you wish you was dying, God
I wanna change my situation, I'm trying it's hard
To keep a smile through all these bills and being tied to a job
What motivates me people say when he rhyming he hard
He always tried to play the humble cat but he lying (lion), he raw (roar)
