Hero by Topi Mandela Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Living like I'm in a whole different dimension
My old friends act like they have dementia
Can't remember I'm the one they didn't mention
When you making moves they happy they met ya
Bet ya
If I was the same Lil Bill
The Ugly Duckling
With a nose like a bill
The lunch line beggar
Without one single bill
That you wouldn't care
At all how I feel
This is metabolic combustion
Busting, lyrics
And eating off of the beats
That I'm burning
I am not yearning
Learning with age
And turning the page
The music gets
All of my RAGE! Look
Why can't you see?!
I'm a mortal man
No weapon I'm mortified
Toss me a 45
I'll feel fortified
That's foolish pride
Are we glorified?
No
But why sweat it
My potential is kinetic
The parasites are pathetic
Ticks on my path, get it??
People looking up to me
Like I'm Yao Ming
Meanwhile y'all mingle
About the way I get it
Spitting like a llama
I could be the new Obama
Of rapping or alpaca
Cuz you know I'll pack a
Case
Black bag with the black book
Black pen, write hooks
That I can never erase
I'm just tryna make my mark on this side
We the light, but it's dark on this side
What you supposed to do when you can't save em?
I done seen too many people switch sides
Sad part is the broke kids go to jail
Meanwhile, rich parents are paying the bail
Who of us got friends that we let fail?
Saying sayonara ignore em
And wish em well
[Hook (x2)]
I've Never Really Stopped A Crime. No
I'm Not A Hero
My Biggest Nemesis Is Time
Look
I'm Not A Hero
Who you think I'm supposed to be?
Look
I'm Not A Hero
Sorry I won't set you free
No
I'm Not A Hero
[Bridge:]
Ima let you down
Don't count on me
Don't wait on me
Cuz Ima let you down
Don't try to blame fate on me
Cuz Ima let you down
Don't praise me
Rather hate on me
Cuz Ima let you down...
[Verse 2:]
On My
Feet I wore the whoop de whoops
Walking
To the courts to shoot some hoops
Wishing
I could own the Audi coupes
That were
Riding low and rolled in groups
Back in
Village Green
Before I felt stressed
Sleeping on the floor
But I still felt blessed
Looking up to high school kids who selling bricks
They were getting money so they were gettin the chicks
Then one night
I was throwin out the trash...
Cops pulling in fast..
Two cops threw Montel
To the ground
Whole brick on him, said
"its about a pound"
Can't forget the sound
Of the canine
They doing k2?
I'm like "K Fine"
They think that they fine
They gotta pay fines
Let me get outta their business
I'll state mine
Look
I'm just tryna make my mark on this side
We the light, but it's dark on this side
What you supposed to do when you can't save em?
I done seen too many people switch sides
Sad part is the broke kids go to jail
Meanwhile, rich parents are paying the bail
Who of us got friends that we let fail?
Saying sayonara ignore em
