Underdog

Little is known why I beckon & moan

I see what's comin

Madd brothers will be bumming

After the math

The drug lords brought the wrath

Of those of us who once thought

We needed to be weeded

Bust, dust made that head bust

I remember came after

Cheba cheba had you wide like

A receiver

What looks like fire is ice

Fall for the flame

Catch it twice like Jerry Rice. Nice

Against odds

I recognize it is the cards

Hard to be played back the jack of

Spades

BRIDGE

Ashes to ashes blunts to blunts

Some of these geez ain't real

I seen em once

Upon a time

So many rappers and not enuff rhymes

I hope they around next year but I fear

I'm all time and I'm down

For the ruffness

But what good is the rhyme

Without substance

CHORUS

I rather be the underdog

VERSE !!

Nobody savin the time

The rhyme never thanks

Who be givin

Ravin who on top of the charts

Grabbin the Gavin

Now I can't use my name

Half the body be dancing head swoll

But one thing I can do is finger roll

The hit list grows like Pete Rose

As I rise above who you recognize

I wanna know that disguise

Who are you?

And wher'd you come from?

See how you run

First on a verse I gets vertical

Flip works like a grammatical gigolo

A head from many years ago

I brought the noise on the R & B boys

The chronological

Or the ghetto celeb

Never claimed the best

Nor was I great at finesse

But everything is everything

And everything is real

It appears I shift gears

To the ears of my peers

No appeal

CHORUS

I'd rather be the underdog

VERSE III

I'm low maintenance

The picture I'm paintin

Is just intelligence

Not another nitwit

You can get with

Self haters, traitors

Thinking now that later

Turned they head

Dissin something that I said

I get ill on a beat track

Make me wanna go back

Way back

Where it's not a trace of Baba

Unplugged tempos

From the drugged temple

CHORUS

I rather be the underdog

BRIDGE

Ashes to ashed, bluntz to bluntz

Some of these geez ain't real

I seen em once

So many rappers and not enuff rhymes

I hope they around next year

And I fear
