Now I'd like to dedicate this
to all my teacher's
who said I'd be a failure
an under achiever
performing under par
I guess that makes me under rated
they never thought that
that I could make it this far
to all the cops who used to harass me
and arrest when I was under age
to all my boss' who said I was lazy
I've never been lazy just under paid

and I'm not gonna let it bring me down
no more again
I'm not gonna let it bring me down
until I get
I'm not gonna let it bring me down
until I get
six feet under the ground

goin swimming
under water
and relaxing under the sun
well I don't feel
like I'm under pressure
and I escape from
bein under the gun
under privileged under doggy doggy
just creeping on the under ground
under god invisible with liberty
and justice for every last one of us

and I'm not gonna let it bring me down
no more again
I'm not gonna let it bring me down
until I get
I'm not gonna let it bring me down
until I get
six feet under the ground

when I'm feelin under stress
and I'm under the weather
my girl says she loves me
but she don't understand
it makes want to run and hide
underneath the covers
but Igotta come and face it
just like a man
now everyday I'm under-fire
runnin on the tight rope wire
and these fools want to tell
me that I can't win
well there under estimating
straight player hating
but I'm not gonna let it get
underneath my skin

no I'm not gonna let ‘em bring me down
no more again
I'm not gonna let it bring me down
until I get
I'm not gonna let it bring me down
until I get
six feet under the ground
