Hero

Uh
 Crown Royal bag open, watching boxing
 Arguing with dad, who gon' knock who out, shit
 He probably gon' be mad if my fighter drop his
 And that's exactly what happened, now he got me moppin'
 Damn it
 Okay, Papa was my hero, without him, I'd be zero
 Probably six feet below, probably sniffin' kilos
 Probably homicide or robbery for all that we know
 Stayed on top of me, made sure that I achieved
 Even more than I believed that I can be though
 Okay, Lysol, toothbrush, scrubbin' on the toilet bowl
 Soon as they cut the street lights off, you rush home, nigga
 You must be on time at all times
 You gon' get the stool 'cause you won't miss your school bus
 Papa was psychotic, Mama was a goddess
 Big bro had a dome missin' screws 'cause I grew up a screw-up
 Cop the Book of Ryan, nigga, go and listen to us
 Even though sometimes a nigga home would get abusive
 But Papa showed us tough love, don't misconstrue us
 I talked about his past, I thought I did it with respect
 But I'm just dragging all these bags, and all these feelings is suppressed
 I'm just a artist, and anytime I write, I put the art first
 In retrospect, I feel like you're right, we should've talked first
 I apologize
 To my hero, without him, I'd be zero
 Or probably six feet below, or probably sniffin' kilos
 Robberies at college, how do we know?
 Gettin' into drama's easy, findin' peace is hard as Finding Nemo
 This goes out to y'all if y'all grew up without a hero
 Uh, 17, you told me go to the Army or get out
 I had to walk, and as I'm walking out
 I started having thoughts of all that's happened over the years
 And been swept under the rug and never talked about
 Wasn't 'til I let go of the grudge
 Let all of these feelings on my heart get out
 I got all the blessings the reverend talks about
 I agree, a lot of things between he and I should be TMI
 Y'all can call me anything but me a liar
 I just write the truth for free, my mind for the BMI
 Uh, not only did I finally realize there is a God
 I realized a nigga highly favored
 One thing that's phenomenal was the day I decided
 To hold myself accountable for my behavior
 My bank account would grow
 All of the things that Papa instilled inside me
 Was like the common denominator
 I flew out to NY, I said, "I'm living here 'til I get a deal"
 Came back a year later signed to a major
 Pop, I just want you to keep my mama happy
 She stayed right there beside you through all this time
 She went above and beyond faithful
 And you inspired me to get dollars, but my way, like Carlito
 I'll retire you as soon as I'm able
 My hero (My hero)
 Look what you've done (Nah, nah) (My hero)
 Look what you've done (My hero)
 We're used to sweepin' problems under the rug
 We're used to barely showin' any emotion
 Maybe this was the ideal love (My hero)
 Look what you've done (Yeah, yeah) (My hero)
 Look what you've done (My hero)
 We're used to sweepin' problems under the rug (Yeah, yeah)
 We're used to barely showin' any emotion (Yeah, yeah)
 Maybe this was the ideal love (My hero)
 I know, I wanna know what love is all about (My hero)
 I wanna know so bad, oh (My hero)
 To the one that I love now (My hero)
 And I love you so, so, now (My hero)
