Underdog - Alicia Keys

She was walking in the street, 
Looked up and noticed 
He was nameless, 
He was homeless 
She asked him his name 
And told him what hers was 
He gave her a story ´bout a life 

With a glint in his eye 
And a corner of a smile 
One conversation, 
A simple moment 
The things that change us 
If we notice 
When we look up, sometimes 

They said I would never make it 
But I was built to break the mold 
The only dream that I´ve been chasing 
Is my own 

So I sing a song for the hustlers 
Trading at the bus stop 
Single mothers 
Waiting on a check to come 
Young teachers, student doctors 
Sons on the frontline 
Knowing they don´t get to run 
This goes out to the underdog 
Keep on keeping at what you love 
You´ll find that someday soon enough 
You will rise up, rise up, yeah 

She´s riding in a taxi 
Back to the kitchen 
Talking to the driver 
´Bout his wife and his children 
On the run from a country 
Where they put you in prison 
For being a woman 
And speaking your mind 

She looked in his eyes 
In the mirror and he smiled 
One conversation, 
A single moment 
The things that change us 
If we notice 
When we look up, sometimes 

They said I would never make it 
But I was built to break the mold 
The only dream that I´ve been chasing 
Is my own 

So I sing a song for the hustlers 
Trading at the bus stop 
Single mothers 
Waiting on a check to come 
Young teachers, student doctors 
Sons on the frontline 
Knowing they don´t get to run 
This goes out to the underdog 
Keep on keeping at what you love 
You´ll find that someday soon enough 
You will rise up, rise up, yeah 

Everybody rise up 
You gonna rise up, ay 

I sing a song for the hustlers 
Trading at the bus stop 
Single mothers 
Waiting on a check to come 
Young teachers, student doctors 
Sons on the frontline 
Knowing they don´t get to run 
This goes out to the underdog 
Keep on keeping at what you love 
You´ll find that someday soon enough 
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
