Rise of the Underdog

Verse 1

Born on the wrong side of a broken road

Told I’d never be the one to hold the throne

Every scar was a lesson carved in stone

I walked through fire, I walked alone

Pre-Chorus

They tried to bury me in doubt and lies

But they forgot I never die

Chorus

I’m the underdog, rising from the dirt

Through the pain, through the hurt

Hear the battle cry, hear the crowd roar

I’m the last man standing in the war

Knocked down, but I stand up strong

You counted me out, but you were wrong

I’m the underdog, I bite, I claw

I am the underdog!

Verse 2

Cold nights, no hope, just a loaded gun

Dreams burning like a dying sun

Every door slammed in my face

Now I’m kicking walls, I’m taking my place

Pre-Chorus

You tried to break me, tried to chain my soul

But I was born out of rock and roll

Chorus

I’m the underdog, rising from the dirt

Through the pain, through the hurt

Hear the battle cry, hear the crowd roar

I’m the last man standing in the war

Knocked down, but I stand up strong

You counted me out, but you were wrong

I’m the underdog, I bite, I claw

I am the underdog!

Guitar Solo

(Screaming bends, fast alternate picking)

(Melodic high notes, then heavy palm-muted riff)

(Dive bomb → fast shred run → big sustained note)

Bridge

I walked through hell and I came back steel

Every wound made me more real

You built the wall, I brought the war

Now hear me knocking at your door

Final Chorus

I’m the underdog, rising from the dirt

Through the pain, through the hurt

Hear the battle cry, hear the crowd roar

I’m the last man standing in the war

Knocked down, but I stand up strong

You counted me out, but you were wrong

I’m the underdog, I bite, I claw

I am the underdog!

Outro

From the bottom to the top I climb

Underdog… now the world is mine.
