Privilege Lyrics by Buddy Brown

American Savage

2021

[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
