Return Of The Underdog

[Intro]
It's time for the hungry niggas to get a piece
Yeah
Aasim, let's go

[Verse 1]
Through the stars, camouflage, we fast car driven
Sinnin', look for time since every minute is tickin'
Every second that's missin', I'm drinkin' and reminiscin'
I'm a underdog, pissin' off critics, and polticians
'Cause they don't understand what it's like behind this microphone
Even in a crowd of thousands, you spendin' some nights alone
'Cause it's the life I chose, don't mean that's my life's exposed
For you to pick apart some shit, live it first, write a song
Then you got the right to throw stones, knives, and gunshots
Until then, it's die slow, middle fingers to bloodclaats
I made it happen twice, I broke the rule of one shot
And I ain't done sheddin' my baby fat, my hustle's like a
Russell Simmons, pressin' records up out of college dorm
But I ain't got no diploma, this is just knowledge born
Aasim is not the norm, my movement's like a quiet storm
Y'all been eatin' long enough, time to get your diet on

[Chorus]
(You are a special wonder) 'Cause you are a special wonder
And let nobody put you under

[Verse 2]
You love to hear the story, again and again
About a poor South Jamaica boy livin' in sin
Wishin' to one day be the greatest to ever pick up a pen
I signed my first deal young, I wasn't fully equipped
Then it was on to the home of Mr. Sean "Puffy" Combs
That was a long bumpy road, I just wasn't in my zone
But such is life of a youngin', determined to win
And the slums that I come from, made me all that I am
So I appreciate you all through the thick and the thin
And I would like to believe our friendships wasn't pretend
But in the end, with this microphone, born alone, die alone
Live your life to the fullest and learn to leave mine alone
In due time, my own light'll shine bright as gold
Until then, it's a grind-a-thon, sponsored by my heart and soul
I can't quit even when life ain't shit
I just wipe the bottom my shoes or get some brand new kicks, uh-huh

[Chorus]
(You are a special wonder) 'Cause you are a special wonder
And let nobody put you under

[Verse 3]
They say you ain't shit, until you pay dues
A million Facebook friends, twenty million views on YouTube
Then it's SoundClouds, Tinychats, everybody's clones
With all this social network and who the fuck needs a phone?
I'm annoyed, I'm bored, I'm over the BBM
And I'm hibernatin' for winter, 2012's Armageddon
I'm drunk, I'm high, I don't smoke, I get by
I'm 'bout to buy a bag of coke, roll up a dollar, do some lines
"Aasim Loses His Mind," the headline's on the internet
You might even see a picture of him smokin' cigarettes
A hundred views, underdog, born to lose
I'm 'bout to change what they think, rearrangin' with the ink
Put everything on the line, includin' the kitchen sink
Take it back to when music was only built for Cuban links
Social Club life, nigga, E-N-T
We are really all we got 'til the E-N-D, let's go

[Chorus]
(You are a special wonder) 'Cause you are a special wonder
And let nobody put you under
