THE LETTER (B-Sides) Front Cover

Lyric

Underdog's Chance (B-Sides)

Back Tired

No money in my pockets, hunting for what I need every night

Learning everything I can, distributing my songs, not making a dime yet

But I don't hate the rich. Not at all

Let me tell you how I see it

Being born rich is just a talent, like being fast on your feet

Like playing the piano, or a natural rhythm in the beat

Some people start at the top, some start down in the dirt

I wasn't born with that gift, yeah, I know how it hurts

I'm just an underdog, born with nothing in my hands

Scraping by on what I got, making music where I stand

They ask me, "Is it gonna work? Are you gonna make it big?"

Can't an old man dream a little while he's digging in the dig?

It’s better than sitting around, hating the world and sucking my thumb

Jealous of the rich folk, waiting for the dark to come

I'm not gonna waste my time crying over what I lack

I'm an underdog, but I'm never turning back

I might look miserable right now, standing in the cold

Chasing after ghost dreams, story left untold

But give me a reason why I shouldn't look for a chance

Let me step into the fire, let me join the dance

Gonna do everything I can, with the little that I got

Taking one more shot, giving everything I've fought

Hunting for a breakthrough, searching through the heavy fog

Walking down this dusty road, living like an underdog

No complaints, no regrets for the cards I was dealt

I just turn all the struggle into how the beat is felt

So let me dream a little, let me reach for the sky

I'd rather fail trying than to never even try

It’s better than sitting around, hating the world and sucking my thumb

Jealous of the rich folk, waiting for the dark to come

I'm not gonna waste my time crying over what I lack

I'm an underdog, but I'm never turning back

No time to waste on envy

I'm just gonna go out there... and look for my chance

I might look miserable right now, standing in the cold

Chasing after ghost dreams, story left untold

But give me a reason why I shouldn't look for a chance

Let me step into the fire, let me join the dance

Gonna do everything I can, with the little that I got

Taking one more shot, giving everything I've fought

Nothing to lose anyway

I'm going out to find my chance

Peace
