UnderDog

Underdog 

Have you ever been counted out 
Before you were counted in 
You felt like you took a lot of losses 
But in the end, the goal was to win 
You faced all kinds of obstacles and battles 
Shaken up like a rattle 
Like a horse with a saddle 
You ran til you could not run 
You cried up under the sun 
You had to do 
What had to be done 
Even when people talked about me 
And it did hurt 
I shook it off 
Made it work 
You gave it more than your all 
Stood back up when you did fall
Here comes the UNDERDOG!!!!

I will rise to the top
I will never stop 
I'll give all i got 
I'll risk at all 
Even when my backs against the wall
I am the Underdog 

Listen 
Hear me 
Greatness is in me 
I was created by thee 
Created by the greatest 
Uniquely made 
Face it 
I gravitated through life 
I made it 
All my things I went through 
I wouldn't trade it
It made me better 
Gave me strength to go on
I didn't realize my strength 
Didn't know I was that strong
My faith is tested 
The Lord is still blessing
Living life gives you all kinds of lessons 
You will rise above 
What they said you couldn't do
Believe in you 

I will rise to the top
I will never stop 
I'll give all i got 
I'll risk at all 
Even when my backs against the wall
I am the Underdog 

I'm the underdog 
They counted me out 
This time around 
I'm never taking off my crown ?? 
(Repeat 1x)

I will rise to the top
I will never stop 
I'll give all i got 
I'll risk at all 
Even when my backs against the wall
I am the Underdog 
(Repeat until chorus fades )
