Life's Underdog
LIFE’S UNDERDOG
I have a rival me, my bruv, with my parent’s that made three
Who took it upon themselves, never to see the winner in me
Every game played, accolades were given every time they won
Every time I won, I soon came to find there for me were none
I never quite understood why it was that if I won it was so bad
Even to this day nobody is ever happy if I ever win, it is so sad
I thought I needed to improve more, show ‘em what I could do
So improved all my skills and passed the best *ss job interview
There were no accolades for me, just a what a selfish lass I was
Never gave a reason, so I never found out the reason, because
My years have been all wasted, to remain a prisoner in this fog
For some reason I’m supposed to be a nobody, life’s underdog
If I hung myself off a tree, from you there would be no remorse
Seems to me that this should be nothing but a matter of course
I would really like to oblige you; it seems if all would for the best
I would be able on this earth; to maybe find some deserved rest
But I am sure you would come with spades and dig up my bones
To take away my last happiness so you could be the happy ones
