[Verse 1]

I've had to grind for every dollar that I've made

There ain't no such thing as easy roads to take

People say that I've got privilege man hell no

I'm only here cause granddad made it through the war

And I try to make peace

With everyone that I meet

They say I'm lucky

Yeah, I'm lucky I've worked hard

[Chorus]

Cause when your feet touch down here in the USA

It ain't privilege it's the choices that you make

And its up to you to live the lifе you want

Ain't nobody gonna help you out at all

You might call it getting lucky

You might call it catching breaks

You might gеt mad and curse the system

That you live with

But if somehow you succeed and catch your dreams

It ain't privilege

[Verse 2]

I've had to scratch and claw

Rise up and get knocked down

Lost my job and had the landlord kick me out

Slept inside my truck for 2 cold months and then

Didn't break but boy I sure learned how to bend

[Chorus/Bridge]

Cause when your feet touch down here in the USA

It ain't privilege it's the choices that you make

And its up to you to live the life you want

Ain't nobody gonna help you out at all

You might call it getting lucky

You might call it catching breaks

You might get mad and curse the system

That you live with

But if somehow you succeed and catch your dreams

Cause let me tell ya

When your feet touch down here in the USA

It ain't privilege it's the choices that you make

And its up to you to live the life you want

Ain't nobody gonna help you out at all

You might call it getting lucky

You might call it catching breaks

You might get mad and curse the system

That you live with

But if somehow you succeed and catch your dreams

It ain't privilege

[Closing]

I've had to grind for every dollar that I've made

There ain't no such thing as easy roads to take
