Song For The People

People underestimated me my whole life

Didn't take me seriously, that's right!

I scraped and clawed, poked and prod

Put myself in sticky situations, hands of God

I came out the other side, wide eyed

Perspective, directive, mind in stride

I worked at the craft and I busted my ass

I refined, streamlined, working through each draft

Nothin' ever happens 'less you put in the work

That much I understood, the dedication it took

Song after song, scraping along

When everyone says, "You're doing it wrong"

I won't fold, I won't hide, I will sing, I will fight

And if I fall, man, I'll bounce back every time

My aim isn't wealth or luxury rides

My currency's the difference in a million kids lives

This is a song for the people

Tryin' to find what makes them go

Bump-bump-bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump-bump

Bump-bump-bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump-bump

This is a song for the people

Tryin' to find what makes them go

Bump-bump-bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump-bump

Bump-bump-bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump-bump

Wake up and obsessively start scrolling the phone

Feed it to me, baby, make me feel more alone

A hotter chick, a better bod, a famous friend, a fatter wad

It's no wonder feeling pleasure is becomin' so hard

You need a little blind faith, maybe puffin' on an eighth

Or fake it till you make it, man, whatever it takes

Roll the boulder, son, kill the inner bitch in you

Push it up the hill till you're admiring the view

But once you're at the top, you can't stop, or you'll drop

'Cause someone's comin' up, looking to take your spot

Opportunities come to you

But not till you've paid your dues

This is a song for the people

Tryin' to find what makes them go

Bump-bump-bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump-bump

Bump-bump-bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump-bump

This is a song for the people

Tryin' to find what makes them go

Bump-bump-bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump-bump

Bump-bump-bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump-bump

Man, I just keep asking myself

Is this the life that I'm meant for? Is there something else?

Self-sabotage, my own worst foe

Self-trapped in cycles where the doubt just grows

Self help books to reset the brain

Self medicate to mask the pain

Self-reflect mistakes, try to learn somethin'

Self-love when I feel broken

Self-promise to begin with the end in mind

Self-driven 'cause it's only a hill I can climb

The mastery of self

Is the greatest of wealth

The mastery of self

Is the greatest of wealth

This is a song for the people

Tryin' to find what makes them go

Bump-bump-bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump-bump

Bump-bump-bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump-bump

This is a song for the people

Tryin' to find what makes them go

Bump-bump-bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump-bump

Bump-bump-bump-bump, bump-bump, bump-bump-bump
