Sharing today this remix of Alicia Keys song Underdog which features Chronixx and Protoje.
The original version of this song was released 3 months ago, and as usual Alicia Keys voice shines and the uplifting lyrics inspire. The theme is overcoming adversity and chasing dreams. This remix is quite different from the original, with the verses having completely different lyrics but a similar theme.
Here are the full lyrics of this new remix:
(feat. Chronixx & Protoje)
Oomba-oomba
Oomba-oomba-oomba
Oomba-oomba
Oomba-oomba-oomba
And I said get on your feet and live
Nothing but strength and blessings I bring
And this one for all of my queens and kings
We are royalty, you fi know dem ting
I feel like the world really needs some change
This can't be right, whole ting feel so strange
Right now, all that we need is love
Some empathy, yes, the season's up
They said I'll never make it
The dreams I'm chasing
I'm all alone
I am destined for greatness
Time to embrace it
Breaking the mold
Now they gonna see us
When you start out, they gon' give you love
But you find out what you're really worth
Then you go hard and you deal it rough
They gonna try and take it all away
Can't nobody take it all away
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Hurt, and you love
And you hurt and you've had enough
They said I'll never make it
The dreams I'm chasing
I'm all alone
I am destined for greatness
Time to embrace it
Breaking the mold
You see the gyal
Oomba-oomba
Oomba-oomba-oomba
Oomba-oomba
Oomba-oomba-oomba
Whoa
Yeah, shorty tell everybody who ever doubt me
Nuh matta how it cloudy
I mek it out proudly
Woi, and now the money get crowdy
They step inna mi shows, clearly they dem never know me
Sometimes, the day get so lonely
Give thanks for the love that surround me
Ooh, the love that my family show me
Yeah, we a rise and it a bun dem (Yeah)
The Rastaman people, just a nun dem (Yeah)
More love to my daughter and my son dem
And our cup runneth over like a fountain, yeah
They said
They said I'll never make it
The dreams I'm chasing
I'm all alone
(I am) I am destined for greatness (Woi)
Time to embrace it (Ooh, yeah)
Breaking the mold (No, no, no)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
No, no, no, no, no
Yeah, oh, ooh
I really enjoyed this version of the song. The message is positive and uplifting and it has a cool irie vibe. The collaboration with Chronixx and Protoje puts a very different spin on the track to the original which made it feel like a different song.
I hope you all enjoy this tune, keep sharing the positive vibes that the world needs right now.
Cheers,
JK.
