    Chorus:
    So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
    Single mothers waiting on a check to come
    Young teachers, student doctors
    Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
    This goes out to the underdog
    Keep on keeping at what you love
    You'll find that someday soon enough
    You will rise up, rise up, yeah
    #AliciaKeys #Underdog #Alicia
    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed
    He was nameless, he was homeless
    She asked him his name and told him what hers was
    He gave her a story 'bout life
    With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile
    One conversation, a simple moment
    The things that change us if we notice
    When we look up sometimes
    [Pre-Chorus]
    They said I would never make it
    But I was built to break the mold
    The only dream that I've been chasing is my own
    [Chorus]
    So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
    Single mothers waiting on a check to come
    Young teachers, student doctors
    Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
    This goes out to the underdog
    Keep on keeping at what you love
    You'll find that someday soon enough
    You will rise up, rise up, yeah
    [Verse 2]
    She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen
    Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children
    On the run from a country where they put you in prison
    For being a woman and speaking your mind
    She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled
    One conversation, a single moment
    The things that change us if we notice
    When we look up sometimes
    [Pre-Chorus]
    They said I would never make it
    But I was built to break the mold
    The only dream that I've been chasing is my own
    [Chorus]
    So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
    Single mothers waiting on a check to come
    Young teachers, student doctors
    Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
    This goes out to the underdog
    Keep on keeping at what you love
    You'll find that someday soon enough
    [Bridge]
    Everybody rise up
    You gonna rise up, ayy
    [Chorus]
    So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
    Single mothers waiting on a check to come (Say you're gonna make it)
    Young teachers, student doctors (Yeah)
    Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
    This goes out to the underdog
    Keep on keeping at what you love
    You'll find that someday soon enough
    You will rise up, rise up, yeah
    You will rise up, rise up, yeah

    This song hits home for me. I got pregnant at 16 and was told my life was over and i would always be on assistance and i would never become anything. My teachers looked at me differently so did my friends and even some family members. Little did they know is that i would go back to school 2 weeks after giving birth to graduate high school early with straight A's and immediately start working full time. 11 years later I have a good paying job and im married to the love of my life who loves my daughter as if she was his own. We now have three kids, I own a house, 2 cars, and a camper. "I was born to break the mold" ❤❤ don't ever doubt a underdog.

    I grabbed a cab from my nephew's house in Birmingham UK to the city centre when I was visiting from NZ in 2014 and the driver was an Afghan. He relocated to the UK to give his children, particularly his daughters, a good education. He said he loved living in the UK. I heard this song when it was released and the second verse took me straight back to that day in Birmingham and that conversation. Awesome. This song means a lot to me.

Still, I hold on to the endless reasons to be grateful for everything I have. I am equally grateful for the things I do not have. I choose to trust in the One who loved me before I was brought into the world - God. His plans are perfect.
    The whole world is crying out for help. It´s easy to get overwhealmed by the injustice of the world. We must remain firm and wear the Armour Of The Lord. It feels as though this song was written for me. It means the world to me! Thank you for the encouragement, Alicia.

    I needed to hear this today. I honestly want to give up on my school and work. It is so hard to do everything by yourself. I work every day and night with little pay or help in order to pay my bills and go to school full time while living in my own apartment. With all that is going on, I thank God for every step he lets me see in the dark. Thank you, Alicia, for this song today, you have aided my spirit to keep on hustling for this world because I have a plan that God wants me to achieve. I plan to do his will and strive. Thank you.

      Amen my sister ❤👩‍🏫 I love this song and it was at the perfect time!! I've been chasing a dream to become a midwife nurse but became a teacher. I have had a very tough first 2 years well 3 teaching but knows God has a plan for me. It has been so tough as I have quirks and like be genuine with others and reach out to be pushed down. Teaching has molded me into a new person and has gotten me in touch with God. I feel I have Aspergers and honestly it is so hard for me to read all the social cues but God made me quirky and huggy o pechichi and like I connect and break the ice with many people at the cost of being vulnerable and taken advantage of or made fun of or becoming the underdog. But like you know to touch the lives of others and share genuine love and affection it is priceless and God and Jesus paid the price and we all have unique gifts and talents that God gave us to give the world. I feel this song in my heart especially as my moma was a single mom and I lived in many different apartments with her. My dad also had Arab and Hispanic roommates to save the house and like I grew up in Catholic schools but in underprivileged single parent minority communities. That helped me to see the true life and see people as people, as human and children of God. I pray this song really touches many lives

    I don't have words to express how much I admire this woman. She is a true, modern artist, and I can see her love for music growing more and more with every song she makes. Her melodies are simple but timeless, her lyrics are deeply motivational, and despite her well-known style, she keeps the element of surprise. Alicia, as long as you do you, this world will evolve!

    oh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed
    He was nameless, he was homeless
    She asked him his name and told him what hers was
    He gave her a story 'bout a life
    With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile
    One conversation, a simple moment
    The things that change us if we notice
    When we look up, sometimes
    They said I would never make it
    But I was built to break the mold
    The only dream that I've been chasing is my own
    So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
    Single mothers waiting on a check to come
    Young teachers, student doctors
    Sons on the frontline knowing they don't get to run
    This goes out to the underdog
    Keep on keeping at what you love
    You'll find that someday soon enough
    You will rise up, rise up, yeah
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ooh, ooh, ooh
    She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen
    Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children
    On the run from a country where they put you in prison
    For being a woman and speaking your mind
    She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled
    One conversation, a single moment
    The things that change us if we notice
    When we look up, sometimes
    They said I would never make it
    But I was built to break the mold
    The only dream that I've been chasing is my own
