Wishing For A Hero (Explicit)

Well respected in this hip-hop lil' Polo be spittin' facts
A lot of rappers doin' way more stuntin' than givin' back
You ain't my color then you don't know the struggle of livin' black
Cops kill us and we protest what type of s**t is that
Man if the police shoot at one of my brothers I'm blickin' back
We hate each other so we just wanna score and go tit-for-tat
All these shorties want is points they ain't chasin' a different stat
Really riskin' it all what's the point when that n***a rat
We seventeen got forty years in that court when we gettin' cracked
Stuck in the system they just watchin' us fail while they sittin' back
The government cuttin' checks but can't cut a n***a some slack
It's hard to get a job so we hustle and flip a pack
It's all a set-up no wonder why they call this b***h a trap
Life was messed up a matter of time 'til that n***a snap
Post-traumatic stress so them triggers keep gettin' tapped
R I P Malcolm I promise to conquer and fill them gaps
Them corners leave a n***a boxed in tryna break free
Crazy how I love the same block that tried to break me
Pray that I ain't in my own hood when they take me
This all we know a life of peace what we can't see
I'm from where we unheard and we can't speak
We go to school they try to tell us what we can't be
Profit with a billion-dollar mind like I'm JAY-Z
They killed Martin for dreamin' and now I can't sleep
Why would the devil take my brother if he close to me
Now if you scared take my soul you see my bros in me
We missin' you man this ain't how this s**t supposed to be
Feel like I'm stuck I wish them streets never proposed to me
Out there posted in the field with them soldiers deep
So now the other side wanna put a hole in me
Like every day might be the end of the road for me
We die young so I couldn't picture a older me
Fightin' demons let them d**gs take control of me
All in my head go and kill what they told to me
'Member we ain't have a thing same clothes for weeks
Hardbody that's how them situations molded me
Needed money and grew accustomed to this fast life
Pressure from this way of livin' so we blast pipes
S**t got me stressin' three hundred and sixty-five nights
Them people workin' against us like we don't have rights
It don't matter what this money and this fame can give
I've been hurtin' tryna smile through the pain and tears
Wish we could go back to them days when we played as kids
A lot of s**t changed that's just the way it is
That's just
That's just the way it is
Some things'll never
Some things'll never change
Oh oh that's just the way it is
Way it is
The way it is
Ooh
That's just
That's just the way it is
Some things'll never
Some things'll never change no-no-no-no-no
Yeah that's just the way it is
Way it is
The way it is
Yeah
Never never
Ayy
Some things will never change
Some things'll never change
Never never
No that's just the way it is
Some things'll never change
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm
You finally made it big brother
You're the G O A T
