LYRICS:
The best part of puttin' myself out there
Is when you say we've helped cure your worst despair
Depression, grief, or just the courage to get out the sheets
And reach for loose-leaf

We ain't special, we ain't different
We ain't any more better than you
Yeah, you, you can do whatever the hell you wanna do
When you just believe in you

We can't walk away
Our calling is calling
Spent night after night for years
Teaching ourselves to persevere
Our calling is calling

We will run the world
We will run the world
We will run

Spent a lot of nights thinking in my room
Are the fruits of my labor soon to bloom?
The best way I know how to do
That's taking pen to paper, lettin' my mind choose
I take a sip or two, feelin' loose
Like I got nothing to lose
But so much I got left to prove
To myself, but also to all of you
Who believe in me
Even when I doubt myself

We can't walk away
Our calling is calling
Spent night after night for years
Teaching ourselves to persevere
Our calling is calling

We will run the world
We will run the world
We will run

generation Z, generation me
Generation inclusivity
Believe you me, change you will see
Comin' at you like a fuckin' Ferrari
Generation Z, generation me
Fix the sins of your ancestry
Ask not, "Whose gonna let me?"
Make sure they don't forget me

We can't walk away
Our calling is calling
We can't walk away
Our calling is calling

Songwriters: James Priestner / Jared Priestner / Lubomir Ivan / Jan Cajka / Duran Ritz

  • I love how they included so many cameos of past characters, I've been listening since the release of brittle bones Nicky
  • @mckay7965
    I love the quick nod to Nicky and his ”circle of bulls”. It makes all your work feel a lot more connected in the sense that each character might know each other.
  • As a teenager, this song really motivated me to keep going through life no matter how hard it beats you down. I'm really grateful for that as it helped me cope with all the bad things happening in my life right now. Thank you RA for this dope song. Keep it up

    I got introduced into Rare Americans when a brittle bones Nicky add showed up on a video…and I just played it over and over until I just needed more! I love this band and can’t wait to see more! {new input} holy shit this blew up….thank you guys so much!!!!
  • This one's a personal favourite of mine. It's kinda become increasinly rare to find any new music that is anthemic and tries to inspire hope in our generation. There's a lot of (well justified) negativity in songs nowadays but it's still so important that we acknowledge that we can still change the world. Love ya Rare Americans. Thanks for giving me some of my favourite music this decade!
  • The lyrics say everything. This music gives me the motivation to keep going day by day. You probably get that a lot, but thank you for making your amazing songs. They give us the motivation we need to keep on going, happiness in times of sadness, makes us feel understood, gives us hope that things will hopefully get better soon and most importantly, we won't feel alone with our problems
  • @bencarter9363
    It blows my mind how quickly Rare Americans became my favorite band. Every new song that drops is a banger. It's almost eerie how the lyrics always seem to relate to my life. At this point its almost like hearing advice from an old friend after all the tough times your songs have helped me through. Thank you Rare Americans, keep on changing the world, MY world, one song at a time.
  • The cameo of Nicky and Shifty was honestly such a throwback! I remember watching the BBN ad on loop for like an hour just vibing, so seeing him in his teen stage is amazing!! Thanks for all the work you guys do to make amazing music for us!! Edit: I ALSO JUST NOTICED HES ALSO IN THE CLASSROOM WHEN THE TEACHER WALKS OUT YOU CAN SEE HIS BLACK EYE AAAAAA
  • @fatedcrow3808
    i love it when a band creates characters that people can bond with
  • @zaeg2341
    They both didn’t have what they needed at the beginning but at the end she got time to herself to work on her and he got friends that he can now relay on. Hope these two come back in a future song hanging or hopefully loving on each other
  • @Beans714
    This has definitely become one of my favorite songs by rare Americans
  • @Pitbully6666
    Man the talent this group has to have meaning in their songs and a story of all characters they are creating makes me happy and have hope in humanity that we can all get together and listen to real non mumble music now.
  • @Adog234
    There are so many people who love RA. I wish I had more people in my town who likes them as much as me, it’s a small one. Im the only one who knows their greatness here
  • I'll never be able to understand why Rare Americans managed to take over my entire music taste within the span of- what- 2 minutes?? Been listening since Cats Dogs and Rats dropped. EDIT: Over 1000 likes??? if only my channel blew up this much smh (seriously thanks guys)
  • Can we all agree on one thing? RA never ceases to impress us with their new and catchy music with very good lessons they teach us in songs and stories
  • @LaythHebayyo
    "Our calling is calling" really makes you motivated to accomplish something amazing or special in life (as with many lines in Rare Americans songs)
