[Alicia Keys - Underdog lyrics]
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
She was walking in the street
Looked up and noticed
He was nameless, he was homeless
She asked him his name and
Told him what hers was
He gave her a story 'bout life
With a glint in his eye and
A corner of a smile
One conversation, a simple moment
The things that change us if we notice
When we look up sometimes
They said I would never make it
But, I was built to break the mold
The only dream that I've been
Chasing is my own
So I sing a song for the
Hustlers trading at the bus stop
Single mothers waiting on a check to come
Young teachers, student doctors
Sons on the front line knowing
They don't get to run
This goes out to the underdog
Keep on keeping at what you love
You'll find that someday soon enough
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen
Talking to the driver 'bout his
Wife and his children
On the run from a country where
They put you in prison
For being a woman and speaking your mind
She looked in his eyes in
The mirror and he smiled
One conversation, a single moment
The things that change us if we notice
When we look up sometimes
They said I would never make it
But, I was built to break the mold
The only dream that I've been
Chasing is my own
So I sing a song for the
Hustlers trading at the bus stop
Single mothers waiting on a check to come
Young teachers, student doctors
Sons on the front line knowing
They don't get to run
This goes out to the underdog
Keep on keeping at what you love
You'll find that someday soon enough
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Everybody rise up you gonna rise up, ayy
So I sing a song for the
Hustlers trading at the bus stop
Single mothers waiting on a check to come
(Say you're gonna make it)
Young teachers, student doctors (yeah)
Sons on the front line knowing
They don't get to run
This goes out to the underdog
Keep on keeping at what you love
You'll find that someday soon enough
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
