[Verse 1]
They see it on a screen and swear it's make-believe
We're intangible and legendary from what they can see
Calling me iconic but I think that they’ve mistaken me
For the one, the internet is tryin make me out to be
I'm as imperfect as you
Empathetic hurting too
Make tons of mistakes and best believe that I’m still learning too
Done some shit it hurt to do, really wasn’t worth it truth
Is if you give me matches on a bridge I’ll prolly burn it too
I just wanna fix up this mess, before its a tragedy
Showed up to a war by myself, and they brought a cavalry
They wanna rip my heart out my chest, like it won’t be a casualty
Who am I to turn to for help, when hating comes naturally?
[Hook]
If I die before I wake bury me in bape
I done saved a couple thousand lives, put me in a cape
Baby I’m no super man I just took a leap of faith
Problems flowing through my brain, I just need to breathe an eighth
I feel like I saved everyone except for myself
Can’t nobody's super hero ask for some help
[Verse 2]
Read between the lines, you can see the signs
People point you down a path, praying that you trip a mine
Always go and stab a back, then claim that you didn’t try
Come back when the paper stack, they like can you triple mine
Thinking that it’s easy to, but they ain’t ever see me through
They could shoot us both and never realize I’m bleeding too
Come back when they needing you, I always try to feed em too
But when they’re done I guess they need a hand to sink their teeth into
Wish I wasn’t always so drained, and stuck in this suffering
They’d rather leave me out in the rain, when they have the covering
They wanna see me feeling all this pain, when I gave em comforting
I never meant to sit here and complain, but I’m still recovering
[Hook]
If I die before I wake bury me in bape
I done saved a couple thousand lives, put me in a cape
Baby I’m no super man I just took a leap of faith
Problems flowing through my brain, I just need to breathe an eighth
I feel like I saved everyone except for myself
Can’t nobody's super hero ask for some help
