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, unless 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
Trying 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
Trying 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 just 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
Cuz someones 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
Trying 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
Trying 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, cuz 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
Trying 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
Trying to find what makes them go
Bump, bump bump bump, bump bump, bump bump, bump
Bump, bump bump bump, bump bump, bump bump, bump
