Underdog

[Hook: Sly]

At first they root for the underdog

Till, you win the brawl

Now, it's you they call

PROOF! They gots to be the proof

They gon' root for the underdog

Till, you prove them wrong

Now, you gots to fall

They gots to be the proof [Fall down x8]

You gots to be the proof [Fall down x8]

They gots to be the proof

[Verse 1: Dr. Dre]

Niggas is so gangsta, niggas is thugs

Niggas'll spend their whole life peddling drugs

Slanging dope in hopes of one day bein able

To own their own label and give the game up

Some niggas came up, some just didn't

That's just the way it is, if it ain't meant it just isn't

Some niggas'll get money and pay niggas to back em'

So they can act up, feel comfortable, and rap tough

And that's as backwards, cuz them niggas just gone keep coming back

And that's when extortion happens

You struggle to get free, I know how this shit be

You deal with anything to live legitimately

But you gone find if you do get in this industry

It's best to be business me than against me

Niggas get behind mics and ain't even MC's

Niggas get on MTV just to diss me

They gots to be the proof [Fall down x8]

You gots to be the proof [Fall down x8]

[Verse 2: Obie Trice]

They say why don't we increase the peace

The only peace increased is that which deletes your peeps

Cuz iggaz run mouths but they don't run streets

Till that 4 5 will cease the speech

Yeah it's a shame how the beef'll creep

Could've readched the peep, now you're left with a horrible leak

I'm try to be bleak with my speech as possible

Just in case a nigga trying to throw me an obstacle

I put you in a hospital, that's how I get at you

Let the doc op on you, he don't rid you?

You back on the streets? I send another hit at you

This is not a hypocritical issue

I will critical condition your tissue

Give a fuck if all ten of them with you

I throw an extra ten of them missiles

Turn gangstas into gentlemen
