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

Or just step aside

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)
