Underdog Lyrics - Sly & The Family Stone

Hey dig! 

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 (yeah yeah) 

Even if you're never right 

They get uptight when you get too bright 

Or you might start thinking too much, yeah (yeah yeah) 

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

But every other time 

You get up and get a raw deal, yeah (yeah yeah) 

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, yeah (yeah yeah) 

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 (yeah yeah) 

I know how it feels 

For people to stop, turn around and stare 

Say goodbye and they low rate, low rate me (yeah yeah) 

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 (yeah yeah) 

They just underestimate me 

Photos 

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, yeah (yeah yeah) 

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, yeah (yeah yeah) 

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
