The song response to the powerful spoken word video. HERoes is about finding the gifts and talents within yourself and nurturing the hero within. In turn being your own hero and wearing your strengths as a cape.
I don’t really play with the kids
Already getting nervous cos they know what it is
Don’t really gotta shout I was blessed from the mids
You wanna see stars you should come to the gigs
Dusting of my shoulder from the mixtape biz
Already got another so I guess so kids
I don’t really like how you flaunt that ish
I don’t really like how you flaunt that ish
Hero
I’m liking how you work that cape
Is you a super hero wanna know in case
You wanna send an image that’s already been fake
I’d rather be a zero on the real no cape
I’d rather be a hero with a soul no shade
The image in the mirror
Looking thicker
Than a loop hole dancer
Wanna get a good dancer
Who’s a brother and awake
Take an Instagram picture
Of a picture that’s fake
Hero
And pose
I’m liking how you working on that filter tho
I’m liking how your never gonna let the world know
The real live heroes they ain’t never gonna show
Ain’t never seen a hero like me for sho
Ain’t never seen a shero like me for sho
Puffing up make up sell a hero on a shelf
Better cop my mixtape bish or else
I wanna let you know I’m a star
And I’m different then you are
This my art I couldn’t even save myself
Hero
Better watch yourself
Better watch yourself tho
Better watch yourself
Better watch yourself tho (4x)
We all
Heroes
Heroes
Heroes
We all
Heroes
Heroes
Heroes (4x)
