Yeah
Too long in the shadows
Now they gon’ hear us
Underrated
Had to learn how to suffer, never asking for help
Built my name from the bottom when I had nothin’ myself
No spotlight, no handouts, no love in the crowd
Now the same people watching wanna say they proud
I was lost in the dark with a fire inside
Every scar on my body got a story behind
They were sleepin’ on me, now I’m breakin’ the cage
Turned pain into hunger, now I’m filled with rage
Too real for the trends, never changed for a view
While they copied each other, I was staying true
Now they lookin’ surprised that I’m still on my feet
With the heart of a lion and the grind of the streets
We were underrated
Never celebrated
Now we turn the speakers up
Till the whole world shakes
Underrated
Always underestimated
Now they finally know the name
And they can’t stop us now
I was down on the floor, had nobody to call
Had to learn how to stand when I was ready to fall
Every loss made me stronger, every night made me cold
Now my soul made of pressure and my mindset of gold
They wanted clout, I just wanted a way out
Wanted peace in my mind while they chased the fake crowds
Saw loyalty die when the money got near
Now I move by myself, I got nobody to fear
No diamonds or chains, still got weight on my chest
Too many dreams getting buried by stress
But I rap for the kids who don’t feel enough
For the quiet ones fighting when life gets rough
They never saw the vision
Now they watch me rise
Funny how they love you
When success arrives
We were underrated
Never celebrated
Now we make the city scream
Every word we say
Underrated
Long time underestimated
Now the people sing along
’Cause the underdogs survived
Yeah
For everybody they slept on
This one’s for you
Underrated
