Lyrics

Intro

Sometimes you look back and realize you were good at everything,

But great at nothing.

That doesn’t mean it’s over.

It just means the story isn’t finished.

Verse 1

I was good at hoops, never great, I ain’t grind enough

Had bounce, had handles, but I chased women too much

Should’ve been in the gym, but I was in somebody sheets

Vegas attitude, ATL charm, KC roots in the streets

Four hours in the mirror, five minutes on the court

Priorities twisted, never really found support

Could’ve been a D-1 killer, a walk-on threat

But shortcuts always turn into long-term debt

And the music was a gift, I know it was divine

But being good made me lazy with the climb

A thousand stories, ten thousand excuses

Life kept moving and I was the one abusing

Underachiever, I say it with my chest

But I ain’t done writing, I ain’t failed the test

When talent gets comfortable, hunger starts dying

But I just woke up, and the clock stopped lying

Chorus

Wake up the underachievers

Wake up the underachievers

You was good, but you better than that

Time to double back and run it all back

Wake up the underachievers

Wake up the underachievers

Greatness ain’t dead

You just gotta rewrite what’s in your head

Verse 2

I’m talking to me and I’m talking to you

We all had moments where we didn’t push through

Mid-tier dreaming, mid-tier planning

Enough ambition just to say we were trying

Never hit the gas, just enough to stay decent

Decent never legendary, barely breaks even

Could’ve been a beast in the booth, but I coasted

Wrote half a classic, never dropped it, I ghosted

Could’ve been the man in a league of creators

But fear talked louder than them Vegas elevators

Too much time chasing women at night

Too many wrong choices, too many lost sights

But failure ain’t fatal, long as breath in the lungs

I still got chapters that ain’t even begun

Being late don’t mean never

It just mean the timing wasn’t right

Verse 3

Now I’m older and colder, but wiser with motive

Every underachievement, every time I coasted

Turned pressure into purpose, purpose into fire

I’m done settling for good, now I’m reaching higher

Kansas City raised me

Atlanta shaped me

Vegas reinvented me

And all three saved me

No more shortcuts, no more halfway

No more being gifted then walking away

I see myself clear in the mirror this time

Ain’t no greatness hiding, it’s finally mine

Underachiever, yeah, that was the chapter

But not the conclusion, just part of the factor

As long as I’m breathing, I’m getting better

I was good once, now I’m chasing forever

Outro

This is for everybody who almost made it.

Everybody who knew they had more in them.

As long as you’re on this side of the dirt,

You still got time.

Underachievers don’t fail —

We just bloom late.

Blaq Out.
