Aasim - Return Of The Underdog lyrics
[Aasim - Return Of The Underdog lyrics]
It's time for the hungry niggas
To get a piece yeah
Aasim, let's go
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
(You are a special wonder) 'Cause
You are a special wonder
And let nobody put you under
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
(You are a special wonder) 'Cause
You are a special wonder
And let nobody put you under
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, ENT
We are really all we got 'til the E-N-D
Let's go
(You are a special wonder) 'Cause
You are a special wonder
And let nobody put you under
To get a piece yeah
Aasim, let's go
Through the stars, camouflage
We fast car driven
Sinnin', look for time since
