THE UNDERDOG (feat. Young Reela)

from BROWARD COUNTY (Part 2) by ARONE

/

lyrics

Let me be the first to make this clear
(Ah huh)
Ain't no room to doubt or interfere
(Wus up)
They be lookin, they be clockin
They be on me (you ain't know)
Bout to shut it down
You know I don't do talkin (how I roll)
I been told (I ain't shit)
I been told (I ain't fit)
I don't hold (no grudges)
What you know (about this)
Such an acquired taste
I know some can relate
Ain't no need for debate
Surround myself by the greats

Killin it, im feelin it,
I walk in the vicinity,
They eye on me,
I got em wit the pedigree
They doggin on me scratchin on em
Underneath da skin. Oh yeah, aye.
Know they feel a way
But know I could care less about it
Think about it, what they benefittin
Ain't no need to bother
Y'all ain't ready for this lion
Comin from the den. (laughs)
Take a step back
This ain't for them basic lads
Watch yaself and get up off my throne, hey!
Doin y'all a favor,
Hate me now and thank me later.
Aah huh playas I know how it go.
I’ll be like...

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, naaah
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, naaah
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, naaah
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, naaah

You callin me the underdog I'm the one
Shook it up I put it in the light and let it run
Callin me the underdog mane ain't no need to front

It's my season. It's my time.
Straighten up and get right.
Ain't no reason to deny.
Y'all so jumbled up, up in the hype.
Breakin it down, keepin it blunt. Mediocracy kills.
And when they askin for me
Tell em that I said it's been real.

I'm killin it, im feelin it,
I walk in the vicinity,
They eye on me,
I got em wit the pedigree
They doggin on me scratchin on em
Underneath da skin. Oh yeah, aye.
Know they feel a way
But know I could care less about it
Think about it, what they benefittin
Ain't no need to bother
Y'all ain't ready for this lion
Comin from the den. And I’ll be like...

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, naaah
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, naaah
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, naaah
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, naaah

You callin me the underdog I'm the one
Shook it up I put it in the light and let it run
Callin me the underdog mane ain't no need to front

Uh! The top dogs will now be the underdogs
And I put that on everything that I admire that we setting this decade on fire
Only The Reel, Out Of Sight, Stay In Mind,
You cant do nothing but respect the movement and the grind you heard, Reel

Heartbroken so lately I’m feeling numb
You got the bread and you never shared a crumb
You rap for fun, me I rap for funds
Now I’m wanting all the smoke till I’m collapsing a lung
Hope your legs feeling right you been running from the truth
Boy you begging to be signed, but they know you can’t recoup
Cause you flexing for the gram, while you showing off a coupe
But you know it ain’t yours, the facade is getting loot uh!
How many rappers in SoFlo can out rap me aye
Tell em Nunn like Kendrick dawg or better yet a catholic aye
Simply put, me and you we cut from different fabrics
You could stick to your singles me I’m out here putting classics
We gon be the biggest out yeah I called it myself
Mount Rushmore of Broward watch me carve it myself
We was only making songs now they all on the shelf
Out Of Sight, Stay In Mind we at large with the stealth
I done let you get this far without no repercussions
So when they see we on, boy I bet you see me stuntin
Cause I played by the books, and never sold my soul for money
They get thirsty for the fame, that’s not the same as being hungry
Know the difference, I’m moving with purpose and efficiency
Comparing me to you is like a mansion to efficiencies
A hoopty to Infinity, Connected like Xfinity
I’m black and middle class so all my life they had to limit me
So timidly, I played a fool, patience was my greatest move
Don’t matter if it’s mine or hers we making major moves
Decipher my cyphers, I’m on a hill word to Cypress
I could’ve been laying there lifeless
So I wanna thank God your highness
Years they been playing me, as if success is not near
So I get emotional when they like boy you top tier, uh!

On my life and I’m trying not to get emotional but she told me this when everything was said and done she heard the entire track she said whatever it is she saying this through tears she said whatever it is that you’re doing the world if they don’t hear what y’all have keep going. She said if this is my last moment on earth if you don’t hear any—and I’m trying I’m trying not to cry...

(sniffs) Aaah too late I’m, I’m, I’m there. Too late.

She said if you don’t hear nothing else from me all the nay sayers that’s comin at you and sayin oh you ain’t this and you ain’t that she said keep going. Don’t stop. Keep going. Keep thriving. Keep pushing. All the people that tell you “No.” All the people that say oh no you ain’t this oh no you ain’t that. And so I’m relaying this message to you to tell you. Keep. Fucking. Going. All the shit that we pay. All the time and the energy and the sacrifice. DON’T STOP! DON’T! And imma be right there with you every step of the way I don’t care how which we gotta get it we gon fucking get it bro.

Fasho.

Its deeper than fucking music. This shit saved our fucking life!
