Heroes

[Intro]
We could be heroes (me & you)
We could be heroes (oooh)
We could be heroes (me & you)

[Verse 1]
I know killers in prison, real-time lifers
They don't glamourise crime, unlike rappers
Most get humbled from life's tough measures
And 'chuk chuk' officers keys clatters
Behind bars years left in a cell
Noise in the wing, they wish it would quell
And pray for a way out of hell
In the shadows, another story to tell
Forget being in the charts if the message is violent
True leaders come with positive guidance
All I'm hearing is shoot that, shank this
While communities are feeling voiceless
Eat this conscious music
Be a voice for those who can't use it
That's the culture’s original purpose
Let's heal the world, no excuses

[Chorus]
We could be heroes (oooh)
We could be heroes (me & you)
We could be heroes (oooh)
We could be heroes (me & you)

[Verse 2]
In this journey through highs and lows
We head the same way just different roads
United, collectives grow
The eternal flame of hope still glows
Battles of past, strength from scars
Man they give wisdom better than seminars
Outside our world are trillions of stars
Inside our atoms are just as vast
Look wherever you wish then pal
You can be whoever you want then pal
Since the future is boundless pal
Who wants a world where guns go blaw?
Who wants mum's to be weeping?
Since Tupac’s ‘Changes’ what's been changing?
Why are so many countries conflicting?
Even in the dark, there's light to be chasing

[Chorus]
We could be heroes (oooh)
We could be heroes (me & you)
We could be heroes (oooh)
We could be heroes (me & you)
