[Intro: Emeli Sande]
We've been banging on every door
Praying there's gotta be more
Been living the underdog, living the underdog law
We've been taking whatever we can get
'Cos I guess they ain't getting it yet
We're living the underdog, living the underdog law

[Verse 1: Wretch 32]
Uh, said I hated banging on the door like the bailiffs
To them its a game but the hearts not to play with
(Yeah) Sitting there twiddling your thumbs
When you know that you're the shit but they're giving you the runs around
It's sad, saying that it's underground
It's mad, when Emeli sung this loud
I was glad I felt it in my heart
And it came at a time where we battled in the charts
You're number one to I
And this is musical heaven, I can see the light
I can see the signs when I was struggling on the road
Trying to make something for your soul
I guess goose bump central's a touchy little zone
And that's where me and Emeli's at home
But you won't find us
Real musicians, no mimers
You could feel this tingle down your back if you were spineless
This will make you jump out of your seat and try and sign us
Now you can't remember meeting me, Alzheimer's
Can't say it any better than this
Being the hottest underground is a hell of a gift, heaven-sent
Almost like putting wings on our disc
Kites flying off the shelves, they got wind, it's the 'ish
And I don't get overwhelmed over sales
I'm more touched when a fan says that I vocal well
Or something I said made him go and hold his girl
I gave him faith when the whole world told him go to hell
I do this for the love I'm yours
I guess I've been a prisoner of the underdog law
[Outro: Emeli Sande]
We've been taking whatever we can get
'Cos I guess they ain't getting it yet
We're living the underdog, living the underdog law
I know that the journeys been long (its been a while)
But one day we'll be proving them wrong
Been living the underdog, living the underdog law

I know that the journey is long (yesterday)
But one day we'll be proving them wrong (yes today)
Been living the underdog, living the underdog law
(Oh yeah)
For all of the tears that we've lost
We're finally here looking up (ah yeah)
Living the underdog, living the underdog law
Living the underdog, living the underdog, living the underdog law
