First you see
My skin color
My gender
My figure
And before I can even open my mouth
You already got your mind made up
You’re hoping that I will give up
That I’ll throw in the towel
And walk away from the trial
But what you don’t understand
I’m more than meets the eye
There’s a thick layer underneath this skin
I just don’t easily give in
I got my eyes on the prize
You can either help me

Chorus: You underestimated me
You second guessed me
You thought you could beat me
You thought your slights would deter me
But ultimately you were surprised by me
Over and over again you misread me
And every time I ended up winning
But always
You kept on underestimating me
You can build up your walls
Plot your obstacles so that I can fall
You think I’ll give up
But don’t you know
Defeating you is my ultimate goal
I’ll triumph over bigotry
I’ll triumph over stereotypes
You can try to keep me down
But I’ll always win the fight
With determination anyone can succeed
If you believe there’s something I can’t do
Then I gotta believe it’s worth winning
Chorus: You underestimated me...
When the world
Hates your skin
When the world
Hates your gender
When the world
Hates your religion
When the world
Hates your nationality
When the world
Hates your sexuality
When the world
Hates your hair
When the world
Hates your figure
When the world
Hates your disability
When the world
Hates your income level
You might feel like
There’s no point in winning
But ultimately
The race is worth finishing
When the world laughs in your face
You gotta pick up the pace
Don’t let your image get erased
Run for the goal
Run for the prize
Watch the hatred burning in their eyes
Chorus: You underestimated me...
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
(Repeat with chorus)
