Rare Americans - The Human Animal

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, workin' through each draft

Nothin' ever happens, unless you put in the work
That much I understood, the dedication it took
Song after song, scrapin' along
When everyone says, "You're doin' 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 scrollin' 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 feelin' pleasure is becomin' so hard

You need a little blind faith, maybe puffin' on an eighth
Or just fake it 'til you make it man, whatever it takes
Roll the boulder son, kill the inner bitch in you
Push it up the hill 'til you're admirin' the view

But once you're at the top you can't stop, or you'll drop
'Cause someone's comin' up, lookin' to take your spot
Opportunities come to you
But not 'til 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 askin' 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
