I know how it feels to expect to get a fair shake
but they won't let you forget
you're the underdog and you got to be twice as good (yeah)
Even if you're never right
they get uptight when you got too much
you might start thinking too much, too (yeah)
I know how it feels when you know for real
that every other time (yeah)
you get a raw deal, yeah
Said i'm the underdog, ya’ll
do you know what i mean, yeah
said i'm the underdog, ya’ll
Well, i know how it feels to get demoted
when it comes the time to get promoted
‘cause you might be movin' up way too fast
If you ever love somebody of a different set,
but the other set was an act you forget
well it just don't go like that, oh
I know how it feels
when people stop, turn around and stare
say goodbye and they low rate, low rate me (yeah yeah)
Said i'm the underdog, ya’ll
do you know what i mean, yeah
i'm just the underdog, ya’ll (a a a ahhh)
un-der-dog, un-der-dog,
un-der-dog, un-der-dog (roarrrr)
I know how it feels to be played upon
be at the party but you're really all alone
they underestimate me
And if you hang out with people you don't even know
simply because there’s a whole lot more of them
you better think you can’t
you better think you can’t
I know how it feels when you're feelin' down
and you wanna come up but you’re really
in the wrong … part of town, yeah
Said i'm the underdog, ya’ll
do you know what i mean
said i'm the underdog, ya’ll
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
Underdog, underdog, underdog, ya’ll
underdog, underdog, that’s me
underdog, underdog, underdog, ya’ll
underdog hao hao haa (yeah)
Uhh / come on / uhh
