Ugly Heroes
This track is about the ills of putting hip hop before family and friends. It’s also Verbal’s and Pill’s regrets and thanks to the people in their lives.
[Sample]
"Don't ever go
(Don't ever go)
Don't ever go
(Don't ever go"
[Verse 1: Verbal Kent]
I always told my mama I would make it
She kept kosher I was out for bacon
Told my girlfriend, "I'm quitting college. I wanna be a rapper."
She was cool she said, "Just do what ever makes you happy."
What made me happy was getting blunted with Mike and Sam
We were rookies like Eddie Curry and Tyson Chan'
Imagine how frustrated my mom and pops were
All the friend's kids college grads on the job search
Meanwhile the first born's living in the basement
Claiming that he's chasing dreams, smelly getting wasted
Could've settled down sooner when I met the one
Told her, "I am who I am and rap's number one."
Understood she was proud when she replied to me
Said she loved the kind of person that I tried to be
This goes out to all of you, who never left
I'm so grateful
Stood by when I was scraping just to get my plateful
[Hook: Verbal Kent]
Never go
When I was down you were there for me on the low
Don't ever go
Now you know
It's love, never quite know the right way to go
I won't ever though
Let's grow, don't go
I was down, you were there for me on the low
Don't ever go
Now you know
It's love, never quite know the right way to go
I won't ever though
Let's go
[Verse 2: Red Pill]
I only ever see my friends every couple months
Between the music and the trying to make a couple bucks
Can see the way I juggle stuff is cumbersome
That person in the mirror now is number one
Give 'em calls, making plans 'bout how I'm coming up
And cancel last minute trying to find a cover up
So yeah I'm fucking up
I know you understand but understand this
I don't want this shit to suffer and
I don't wanna treat you like some fucking fans
Only calling when I got a show and on the other hand
You're driving 40 miles and all you getting is a "What's up?"
And a smile while I'm disappearing for a while
And I can try to tell myself, "It isn't selfish."
Chasing after dreams leaving everybody else with
A missing friend that only comes when it's convenient
I'm sorry and I hope you know I mean it
I mean it
[Hook]
