To Be A Hero

Tell me what it means to be a hero, when everywhere you go there’s people
planning ya demise
Tell me what it means to be a hero, see, I never did it for no glory or no prize
Tell me what it means to be a hero, I’mma keep on fighting for what’s right
until I die
Tell me what it means to be a hero, they could never dim this fucking light
that’s in my eyes, so tell me what it means
They say be careful what you wish for
Everything I wanted was in front of me, I locked it behind this door
I lived for my legacy, I’m battling to ensure
My memory is definitely one they can not ignore
It’s a fact, I’d been feeling crap staring at his back
As the number two fully consumed with what I lacked
So I pushed 'till my family cracked and fell apart
And I spurned as my prominence burned within their heart, uh!
And now I’m finally on top, I stand alone
Hated in my home, trying to show 'em that I’ve grown
The world I know’s founded in strength and I resent
How he burned out, passed me the torch with no defence
They’re expecting me to be the Symbol that they lost
But I’m just trying to save them all from who I was
They need a hero, so I’m giving everything I’ve got
But when they look at me, my pupils staring cold like frost
I got the world up on my shoulders on my back’s that cross
I had to be the best and now I am, but at what cost?
Tell me what it means to be a hero, when everywhere you go there’s people
planning ya demise
Tell me what it means to be a hero, see, I never did it for no glory or no prize
Tell me what it means to be a hero, I’mma keep on fighting for what’s right
until I die
Tell me what it means to be a hero, they could never dim this fucking light
that’s in my eyes, so tell me what it means
Tell 'em wait! He ain’t on my level? Tell 'em elevate!
Stepping in the ring, he’ll instantly become a featherweight
Looking at Endeavor plates, the fire in his soul the shit that keep us from a
hellish fate
I just wanna save the day and leave some time to celebrate
Niggas never tell it straight
But they talk Twice, one in front and one behind ya back
I don’t need a plan, I fuckin' wing it when it’s time to scrap
Heathens getting even in the sky is where you find me at
So tell me what it means!
It’s hard to find a single person better than the team!
Enjoy the time of peace because it’s never guaranteed!
The world need an example, let Endeavor take the lead! We gon' tell you what it
mean!
Back down, how that boy expecting me to back down!
Play the fucking hero in the background!
Act wild! Man, I’m too raw for a smackdown!
Meet me in the sky, is where his soul resting at now!
