You wanna die a hero
Or wanna live a legend
Or live a legend
Until you die a hero
I ain't giving 0
I'm giving it my all
It's a cold winter
If you ain't never fall
People know ya life
They don't know your pain
Body is free
Mind stuck in chains
I need Kool-Aid
For a punch line
Back to the future
But I feel stuck in time
My gift
Is nothing to be played with
I speak so free
My peeps came off a slave ship
In a strange land
Now we call it home
Yeah I live in Georgia
But I miss the dome
Darkskin
Lightskin
Why we fightin
We both slaves
Just now we paid
We on the same side
Just a different shade
Same life goals
Different life ways
Dead heroes, dead heroes, dead heroes
Are always televised
When they alive, when they alive, when they alive
They aren't recognized
Be great, be great, be great even if they lie
They hate, they hate, they hate you until you die
I wanna make an impact
So I'm tryna make a hit
Times got hard
And it made me wanna quit
Album is a movie
But it doesn't have skit
Go and wash your face
Cause I'm talking real spit
Make a mistake
And they change real quick
Greatest story ever told
Almost never heard
Change people's life
But I never say a word
I wanna do it big
But they aiming for the wig
Republic, Democrat, Independent kids
Wanna be free
But they stuck in the system
Ruin his life
But now they say they miss him
They don't have a problem
That's until they see you grow
You don't wanna leave
But they wanna see you go
You're alone, you don't have to be lonely
We have Wi-Fi to expose phony
Dead heroes, dead heroes, dead heroes
Are always televised
When they alive, when they alive, when they alive
They aren't recognized
Be great, be great, be great even if they lie
They hate, they hate, they hate you until you die
They hate, they hate, they hate you until you die
You win at life if you don't lose your soul
In the music industry they out of control
Demons everywhere and they really don't care
But the beat hard put your hands in the air
They giving you death on 808s
Then you eat death on a dinner plate
If it sound good then they gonna listen
Keeping us trapped in a solid prison
Free my mind
Free my soul
Free my music
Make me whole
No lukewarm
No more porn
I love God
But I feel torn
I'm no better
Just make a different choice
Why dead heroes
Got a louder voice
MLK has a day
From the same ones that took his life away
Dead heroes, dead heroes, dead heroes
Are always televised
When they alive, when they alive, when they alive
They aren't recognized
Be great, be great, be great even if they lie
They hate, they hate, they hate you until you die
Dead heroes, dead heroes, dead heroes
Are always televised
When they alive, when they alive, when they alive
They aren't recognized
Be great, be great, be great even if they lie
They hate, they hate, they hate you until you die
