Song for the People Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[E][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]People underestimated
me my whole life
Didn't take me [E]seriously, that's right
I [Am]scraped and clawed,
poked and prod
Put myself in sticky situations, [E]hands of God

[Verse 2]
I [Am]came out the other side,
wide- eyed
Perspective, directive, [E]mind in stride
I [Am]worked at the craft and I
busted my ass
I refined, streamlined,
workin' [C]through each [E]draft

[Verse 3]
[Am]Nothin' ever happens,
unless you put in the work
That much I understood,
the dedic[E]ation it took
[Am]Song after song, scrapin' along
When everyone says,
"Y[G]ou're doin' it wrong"

[Verse 4]
I won't [Am]fold, I won't hide,
I will sing, I will fight
And if I fall,
man, I'll bounce back [E]every time
My [Am]aim isn't wealth or luxury rides
My currency's the difference
in a million kids lives

[Verse 5]
This is a song for [Am]the people
Tryin' to find what makes [C]them [E]go
[Am]Bump, bump- bump- bump,
bump- bump, bump- bump, bump
Bump, bump- bump- [G]bump,
bump- [Am]bump, bump- bump, [E]bump

[Verse 6]
[Am]This is a song for the people
Tryin' to find what makes [C]them [E]go
Bump, bump- bump- bump,
bump- [C]bump, bump- bump, [E]bump
Bump, bump- [Am]bump- bump,
bump- [E]bump, bump- bump, [Am]bump

[Verse 7]
Wake up and obsessively start
[E]scrollin' the phone
[Am]Feed it to me baby,
make me [E]feel more alone
A hotter [Am]chick, a better bod,
a famous friend, a fatter wad
It's no wonder feelin' pleasure
is becom[E]in' so hard

[Verse 8]
You need a [Am]little blind faith,
maybe puffin' on an eighth
Or just fake it 'til you make it
[C]man, whatever it [E]takes
[Am]Roll the boulder son,
kill the inner bitch in you
Push it up the hill 'til
you're ad[E]mirin' the view

[Verse 9]
But [Am]once you're at the top you can't stop,
or you'll drop
'Cause someone's comin'
up, lookin' to [E]take your spot
Oppor[Am]tunities come to you
[E]But not[Am] 'til you've paid your due[E]s

[Verse 10]
[Am]This is a song for the people
Tryin' to find what makes [C]them [E]go
[Am]Bump, bump- bump- bump,
bump- bump, bump- bump, bump
Bump, bump- bump- [G]bump,
bump- [F]bump, bump- bump, [E]bump

[Verse 11]
[Am]This is a song for the people
Tryin' to find what makes them [E]go
Bump, bump- bump- bump,
bump- bump, bump- bump, bump
Bump, bump- bump- bump,
bump- bump, bump- bump, bump
[Am][G]

[Verse 12]
[C][E]
Man, [Am]I just keep askin' my[G]self
Is this the [C]life that I'm meant for?
Is there [E]something else?
Self- sabot[Am]age,
my [G]own worst foe
Self- trapped in [C]cycles where the
[E]doubt just grows
Self- [Am]help books to re

[Verse 13]
[G]set the brain
Self- [C]medicate to [E]mask the pain
Self- re[Am]flect mistakes,
try to [G]learn somethin'
Self- [C]love when I [E]feel broken
Self- [Am]promise to begin with the

[Verse 14]
[G]
end in mind
Self- [C]driven,
'cause it's only a hill [E]I can climb
The [Am]mastery [G]of self
is the [C]greatest of [E]wealth
The [Am]mastery [G]of self is the
[C]greatest of [E]wealth

[Verse 15]
[Am]This is a song for the people
Tryin' to find what makes [C]them [E]go
[Am]Bump, bump- bump- bump, bump- bump,
bump- bump, bump
Bump, bump- bump- [G]bump,
bump- [E]bump, bump- bump, bump

[Verse 16]
[Am]This is a song for the people
Tryin' to find what makes [C]them [E]go
Bump, bump- bump- bump,
bump- bump, bump- bump, bump
Bump, bump- bump- bump,
bump- bump, bump- bump, bump
