The Underdog by Travis Thompson Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2016

(Intro samples including what sounds like a school pep rally and a "The Sandlot" quote, amongst several local news reports)

[Verse 1: Travis Thompson]
This the intro to my sitcom, "Travis and the Hooligans"
Blazin' up and roastin' everyone from where the losers sit
I'm boostin' shit, I'm switchin' tags, and now my momma pissed
Tell me that I'm stealin, but I'm hustlin' mom don't even trip
Yeah, I'm just tired of the stressin'
I do it for the kids who eat hot Cheetoh's for breakfast
Me n mi amigos be reckless
We be (be) dishin' impressions
Talkin' battle less, gettin' money
We day drift through the lecture
Yo I'm the L-takin' general
Aimin' for the stars
I'm only DMin' centerfolds
Like, "What's up, girl," I let em know
I'm still the same savage:
Still gettin' boners on watchin' Jessica Rabbit
And Lola Bunny throwin' money
Shit I never need it
Blow my check, gettin' weeded
And coppin' somethin' that's seasoned
You're stayin' in by the evenin'
All my veens is "oh shit" like
Swear my team is all shit tight
I don't even blame you dog
We ain't the kids you're 'posed to like
[Hook: MistaDC]
I'm on my own journey
(You can't hold me) down
Don't try to hurt me
(I said that)
I'm on my own journey
(and please take me)
All could tell all you by me

[Verse 2: Travis Thompson]
I say thank you to the moment
Cause it's hella beautiful
I be postin' up
I turn my block into a musical
I can never lose the juice
People love me everywhere
Wherever I maneuver through
It's the love i send:
I got some friends out in Maui
I got some friends out in county
My gramps see me shinin'
He lookin' down on me proudly
He sayin "Oh boy
You be givin' them them grey hairs
Don't play there
Not safe there,"
Chillin' on the same stairs
My daddy grew up
Giving me hand me down outfits
He said don't listen to them older kids
They ain't doubt shit
They tryna prove a point to themselves
When they ride through
It's cuz they ain't got nothin' and they wanna be just like you
And maybe it's true
I made the team in 7th grade
But they was flamin' my shoes
I hit the crib off the mesher
Like I'm just payin' my dues
One day Imma do crazy and Imma make it
And you and you
Gon' be like what the fuck happened?
Chuck from the Goonies snappin'
The Frooty Loops and the rappin'
Then turned into somethin' magical
Coulda called it, who knew?
Do it all for the crew
Like Tommy Pickles's runny nose
And the sniffles is true
[Hook: MistaDC]
I'm on my own journey
(You can't hold me) down
Don't try to hurt me
(I said that)
I'm on my own journey
(and please leave me)
All could tell all you by me

[Outro: MistaDC]
I'm on my own journey
(You can't hold me) down
Don't try to hurt me
(I said that)
I'm on my own journey
(and please leave me)
All could tell all you by me
