Underdog Lyrics

Underdog - Alicia Keys

...

Ooh,ooh, ooh

She was walking on the street,looked up and noticed

He was nameless,he was homeless

She asked him her name and told him what hers was

Her gave her a story 'bout life

With a glint in his eye and a corner of his smile

One conversation,a simple moment

The things that change us if we notice

When we look up sometimes

They said I'll never make

But I built to break the mould

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 teacher's,student doctors

Sons on the Frontline knowing they don't get to run

This goes out to the underdog

Keep on keeping on what you love

You'll find that someday soon enough

You will rise up,rise up,yeah

Ooh,ooh,ooh

Ooh,ooh,ooh

She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen

Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children

On the run from a country where they put you in prison

For being a woman and speaking your mind

She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled

One conversation,a single moment

The things that change us 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 teacher's, student doctors

Sons on the Frontline knowing they don't get to run

This goes out to the underdog

Keep on keeping at what you love

You'll find that someday soon enough

You will rise up,rise up,yeah

Ooh,ooh,ooh

Ooh,ooh,ooh

Everybody rise up

You gonna rise up,ay

I sing a song for the hustlers, trading at the bus stop

Single mothers waiting on a check to come

Young teacher's, student doctors

Sons on the Frontline knowing they don't get to run

This goes on to the underdog

Keep on keeping at what you love

You'll find that someday soon enough

You will rise up, rise up, yeah

Ooh,ooh,ooh

Ooh,ooh,ooh

Ooh,ooh,ooh

Ooh,ooh,ooh
