[Verse 1] Hand-me-down dreams Scuffed-up shoes Same jeans They call my goals "cute" Laugh when I say "you’ll see" Benched all season Still first one in Last leaving Talk cheap in the bleachers I’m out here bleeding [Chorus] I’m the underdog Teeth in the wire Built this backbone out of fire You can count me out Count me out ’Til I’m all you talk about I’m the underdog Turned that doubt to drive Every "you won’t" kept my hope alive You can write me off Watch me cross that line I’m the underdog But this run is mine (yeah) [Verse 2] They gave me scraps So I learned to cook from that Made a feast on pressure Turned every crack to path No spotlight yet Just late nights Unpaid bets My heartbeat sings one thing: "I’m not done yet" [Chorus] I’m the underdog Teeth in the wire Built this backbone out of fire You can count me out Count me out ’Til I’m all you talk about I’m the underdog Turned that doubt to drive Every "you won’t" kept my hope alive You can write me off Watch me cross that line I’m the underdog But this run is mine (oh yeah)
