Hero Dame D.O.L.L.A. (Ft. Raphael Saadiq)

[Hook]
I just want you to know (Everybody needs a hero)
There is so much more (Everybody needs a hero)
When you try (You should try)
When you try (You will try)
When you try (You should try)

[Verse 1]
I wanna see us all rise above that poverty line
Teach them how to cross the T's, put a dot on them I's
A lot of folks fell victim high, lot of them died
Swallow pride to survive and it got me some time
It's hard to play the block early, go to school late
I wonder what the world see when the product turn great
And start getting cake, fitting but he ain't fake
Can't put him in a box cause he attracting real estate
He went to college, got a degree and he polished
Respectful to say the least, and them records he just demolished
Proud of the place that bred him, give credit to his accomplice
Still involved with the streets, if they hit him he still responsive
It's a jungle out there, people watch your back
And watch your front because people be tryna front
I ain't got them kind of problems, never been the type to stunt
Where I'm from that gets you burnt and I'm not yearning for the sun

[Hook]
I just want you to know (Everybody needs a hero)
There is so much more (Everybody needs a hero)
When you try (You should try)
When you try (You will try)
When you try (You should try)
