Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You got no vision for the long run
You got no sense of history
You got the world at your fingertips
And now, you have it crumbling
[Verse 2]
But if you look back far enough
And find the place you started
Before you held the grudge
Or the highest office
You do nothing every year
But showing up on the red carpet
[Verse 3]
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
And it ain't you
[Verse 4]
I said, give it to me straight (And things got crooked)
I said, who's stickin' around (For all the heavy lifting?)
You ain't no Robin Hood (Nope)
Never been in this neighborhood (Nope)
Thought you said this would be easy
[Verse 5]
But I can smell it on ya
You're some aristocrat
I said, it takes a village
And you can't handle that
Well, I already know how the history books will react
[Verse 6]
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
And it ain't you
[Verse 7]
All my girls say
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
All my dudes go
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 8]
Now here's the official statement
We're street fightin' on the pavement
I'm goin' dancin' like I'm ravin'
There's no service in the basement
Now I don't mean to sound impatient
But I see the flag you're wavin'
And I can see through all this fake shit
This highest office sittin' vacant
[Verse 9]
If you look back far enough
And find the place you started
I promise you no charlatan has ever died a martyr
You do nothing every year
But showin' up on the red carpet
[Verse 10]
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
[Verse 11]
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
I'm lookin' for the people's champ
(I'm lookin' for the people's champ)
And it ain't you
