Lyrics Underrated - Kambino , Armond Wakeup

Being underrated is overrated
Being underrated is overrated
I'm right where I'm supposed to be
I'm right where I am known & needed

I don't wanna be famous
Fame is elusive
It's painful & stupid
Was tryna Takeover
Chasing a Blueprint
All I Need's to be rooted
I was following the crowd
Hoping they might notice
Contentment is a gift
I had to fight for it
I thought to stand alone as the man was the standard
& Kinda "thank God" for blessings I couldn't handle
Overflow
Good measure
Pressed down
Shaken together
I used to ask God for doors to open
He'd do it & then He'd ask
"Oh, that's all you wanted?"
See, the prize wasn't denied
Which made it even tougher
He gave me what I wanted
It still wasn't enough
He wanted me to make my own path that was different
I had to learn greater ain't necessarily bigger
The allure of more's in my core
But cause it wasn't mine, my mind had to endure
Thought success was universal
Mine should look like theirs
Theirs was in a ride
Mine was up the stairs
Why is achievement tied to affirmation
Why do we feel as if we have to make it
We be counting on these tangible antidotes
Like we found a hope
Then we hold God accountable
That is not the goal
Wherever I'm at is valuable
I don't wanna be thirsty in my 30s for the look
I am not your big bro
We ain't cooking up
& We are not working
This is more than for the love

Being underrated is overrated
Being underrated is overrated
I'm right where I'm supposed to be
I'm right where I am known & needed
Being underrated is overrated
Being underrated is overrated
I'm right where I'm supposed to be
I'm right where I am known & needed

You tossed me the beat then asked me to spill
Cause with the quill I am legend like I am Will
For many years I wrangled with me and music's entanglement
Even though I feel cheated I need it and love it still
Jesus... should I be me? - or ride the wave like people pleasers
Keep it "PG"? - or the raw dog honestly that's needed
I split the sea - see, but then it's muddy where my feet is
And niggas "kiki" at the rough condition of my sneakers
You ain't walked a mile in my soul though
With Christian po-po evaluating your souls glow
And friends and kin that hinder your winning thinning your ozone
Knee on your neck that you mention and still it goes on
Wow... at the bottom of the totem
When the top tier rappers know him - all too often on his scrotum
Won't invite me on they songs but all your hall fame rappers quote him
All in all I get left out on account of the way I goes in
Keep it gutter mane, the game really two fold
Fake niggas, fools gold
And I don't deal with neither
So I HAVE to take these breathers see cause truth told
The aggression I'm possessing could get dudes rolled
Learned to measure my success in the blessing and lessons fans get
Cause dumbing down for bands I guess Kameron ain't got the bandwidth
I overcome by not living under most standards
Or becoming disillusioned by this delusion of grandeur
My pride the cancer, humility is the answer
I'm found at the feet of Jesus on knees and with lifted hands up
The balm of Gilead the grease I need when Kam's stuck
I'm lookin' to the hills cause livin' in this land's TOUGH
Being underrated is overrated... yeah
Being underrated is overrated... man
But I'm right where I'm supposed to be... yeah
Cause I'm right where I am known and needed
