You’re not special

Never understood why people act so rude,
Walkin’ ‘round talkin’ big like the world owes ’em dude.
Think they’re special ’cause they’re drivin’ something loud,
Yeah, you got a nice car — but it don’t make you proud.
You ain’t cool just ’cause somebody else can’t buy it,
Heart and character beat horsepower any time, don’t deny it.

(Pre-Chorus)

And if you wanna drive slow, brother, ease to the right,
We all got somewhere we’re tryin’ to get tonight.

(Chorus)

I don’t know why you gotta be rude,
Push on through like you’re the only heartbeat in the room.
I didn’t open that door for you —
But you’re welcome, since you shoved your way through.
Sir, ma’am… you’re not that special, wait your turn,
Respect ain’t free — it’s something you gotta earn.
Why you gotta be rude?

(Verse 2)

See it every day, folks cuttin’ in the line,
Staring folks down like they’re wastin’ their time.
Barge in first like the rest of us ain’t real,
But kindness hits harder than the flex you feel.
We’re all tired, we’re all carryin’ our own storms,
A good soul don’t need to act above the norm.

(Pre-Chorus)

So before you roll your eyes or lose control,
Remember we’re all just people with a heavy load.

(Chorus)

I don’t know why you gotta be rude,
Push on through like you’re the only heartbeat in the room.
I didn’t open that door for you —
But you’re welcome, since you shoved your way through.
Sir, ma’am… you’re not that special, wait your turn,
Respect ain’t free — it’s something you gotta earn.
Why you gotta be rude?

(Bridge — Teddy Swims soul / Stapleton grit)

We’re all human, all broken, all trying to rise,
A little grace might save somebody’s night.
Slow it down, take a breath, lower that crown,
A humble heart’ll lift you up when the world drags you down.

(Final Chorus — big Jelly Roll lift)

I don’t know why you gotta be rude,
Actin’ like the whole world spins faster just for you.
I didn’t open that door, but hey —
You’re welcome anyway.
Sir, ma’am… you’re not that special, wait your turn,
Life’ll teach you quick if you don’t learn.
Why you gotta be rude?

(Outro — soulful)

Never understood why people stay that way…
But I pray one day, they’ll find a better way.
