Underdog - Sly & The Family Stone

I know how it feels to expect to get a fair shake

But they won’t let you forget

That you’re the underdog and you’ve got to be twice as good

Even if you’re never right

They get uptight when you get too bright

Or you might start thinking too much

I know how it feels when you know you’re real

But every other time

You get up and get a raw deal

Say I’m the underdog

I say I’m the underdog

Say I’m the underdog

I’m the underdog

I know how it feels to get demoted

When it comes time you got promoted

But you might be movin' up too fast

If you ever love somebody of a different set

I bet the set didn’t let you forget

That it just don’t go like that

I know how it feels

For people to stop, turn around and stare

Signify a little bit and low rate, low rate me

I don’t mind I’m the underdog

No I can handle it I’m the underdog

I’m the underdog, yeah

Underdog

I know how it feels to be played upon

See you at the party

But you’re really, you’re really all alone

They just underestimate me

I know how it feels when you’re feelin' down

And you wanna come up but you realize

You’re in the wrong part of town

I know how it feels to have to go along

With people you don’t even know

Simply because there happens to be

A whole lot more of them

Say I’m the underdog

I’m the underdog

I don’t mind cause I can handle it

Underdog, It’s gonna be alright

I’m the underdog
