Underdogs

[Napoleon Da Legend verse]

When u say I am, it means you exist and that you gave yourself
The means to resist despite the scenes in the script
Faced with situations that got me like: “Aww damn what is this?”
What a dead beat of dad Uncle Sam is
Look at his kid
The world’s a powder keg, the power hungry became power fed
Stock market numbers more important than a child’s breathe
Working got us wild stress North East South by Southwest
Starving watching people eat with their mouth wet
Meanwhilе, a single mom at the sheltеr abused by her boyfriend
Her dreams of having a decent life full of love completely frozen
Homeless teens overdosing, forward motion is stalled
Gravity plus no momentum means everything falls
What you mean? y’all expect me to sell y’all on a lifestyle
Of fake opulence, popularity and nice crowds
Some of my boy ain’t make it yo this game ain’t sacred
A painstaking task to see my soul lay there naked
And just exposed like a stripper on a pole
Trying to make herself whole
But for the most part dismissed as a hoe
We’re pigeonholed prisoners of the positions we hold
Winners write history, some stories will never be told

[Napoleon Da Legend hook]
We wish upon a star, it’s one nation under god
But they don’t care about the underdogs

Wish upon a star, it’s one nation under god
They never care about the underdogs
Unless they win

[Napoleon Da Legend verse 2]

Life doesn’t come with a map, or a GPS app
Whether you a GD with a vest or at a dead end job trap
A war zone with a dog tag going through a dark patch
Wide awake in the nighttime, watching your thoughts flash
Crossing paths, some people match, some people don’t match
Other surpass expectations, some of these people don’t last
The real ones don’t brag, those who talk a lot do the worse
The universe makes no mistakes I let the vibes do the work
Some get sick and die, you cannot predict the ride
Just evict the negative and never end up victimized
In the world, in different spots. they praying to different gods
Liquor shots, delinquents licking shots, dodge em like Baryshnikov
Mafia types with big cigars, reading Khalil Gibran
Trying to balance the karmic debt so he can heal the wrongs
Bottom to the apex moments those that define us
Your body could be swimming in dirt and roll out a diamond
And it’s a timing... The promises you keep yourself
You feed the hell or the heaven no joke, no D. Chappell
Sometime your feet rebel even though the mind desires
Skin hardened by the shells of standing in the line of fire

[Napoleon Da Legend hook]
We wish upon a star, it’s one nation under god
But they don’t care about the underdogs

Wish upon a star, it’s one nation under god
They never care about the underdogs
Unless they win

[Napoleon Da Legend outro verse]
Off the wall like Michael Jackson
We stay prepped when it’s time for action
Might cross paths with a psychopath
And it’s hard to tell when the lights are flashing
Cruising up in a two door duplex that’s two floors
Me and my crew too raw that’s before I move to New York
Use to think I was from New York chicks were digging my accent
We was thinking of way to get out this city and get my raps lit
We ain’t wanna be average... wanted to have our names light
Fame and the hype all the girls going on tours around the world
