Cheering the Underdog

We cheer for the underdog, with a story to be told

From nothing to something, their rise to the gold

We root for their success, with a heart that's true

But when they reach the top, the game's different, it's new

They become the target, the focus of the fray

Jealousy and opportunity, come out to play

No one's safe at the top, the vultures start to creep

And the underdog's charm, begins to lose its appeal and sleep

Jelly Roll's got a story, of struggles and strife

But when he made it big, the haters came to life

They want a piece of the pie, they think they deserve a share

But when you're at the bottom, no one's looking there

They become the target, the focus of the fray

Jealousy and opportunity, come out to play

No one's safe at the top, the vultures start to creep

And the underdog's charm, begins to lose its appeal and sleep

Life's not about stress-free, it's about makin' it through

New worries and stresses, come to light, it's true

Whether rich or poor, we've all got our share

If you've got something someone wants, they'll find a way to get there

They become the target, the focus of the fray

Jealousy and opportunity, come out to play

No one's safe at the top, the vultures start to creep

And the underdog's charm, begins to lose its appeal and sleep

So we root for the underdog, until they take the throne

Then suddenly they're just like everyone else, and we're gone

But maybe we should remember, the struggles they faced

And keep on cheering, no matter the pace.
