Hometown hero

[00:01.57] Yeah, we still dreamin' in America
[00:04.51] One time for the fighters, I'm hearing ya
[00:07.23] West side, East side, man, it's all the same
[00:09.62] Down south, Midwest gotta make a change
[00:12.83] Still believe in America
[00:15.21] Yeah, we been through it all, so I'm here with ya
[00:17.94] Starting now, we gotta make a change, yeah
[00:20.98] And tonight we gon' all rage
[00:25.61]
[00:32.30] Felt like the world ended last night
[00:34.48] And it wasn't that bad
[00:35.58] We all bled the same colour
[00:37.15] How ironic is that?
[00:38.14] Wasn't about to do it sober, so we threw one back
[00:40.99] And somehow made it to heaven and I split it with Mac
[00:43.64] Yeah, my biggest pet peeve is how time flies
[00:46.21] Is it harder to keep a secret or to keep a surprise?
[00:48.99] I would have to say secret you could tell by my eyes
[00:51.35] And I'm gone and ain't nobody surprised
[00:53.42] Wish I could see me through my fan's eyes, hmm
[00:56.52] Because I live my lowest lows, but they only see my highest highs
[01:00.04] I get triggered by the sound of a metronome
[01:02.48] Make the whole city put a smile on
[01:04.54] Feel like, I did this on my ten-thousandth hour
[01:07.49] Nowadays, you gotta die if you wanna get your flowers
[01:10.14] Yeah, my palms sweating while I'm standing in my shower
[01:12.54] Lettin' all these bad thoughts overpower the nice guy
[01:15.39] For real, man
[01:16.19] You know that I got bad days too
[01:17.95] Where the room feels cold
[01:19.05] And the sky ain't blue
[01:20.42] And the nights feel long
[01:21.73] And the clock's like glue
[01:23.16] And my mic' won't listen
[01:24.25] And these thoughts feel true
[01:26.35] A piano loop and I'm back to my roots
[01:28.30] Keep it simple when I'm speaking the truth, aye
[01:31.46] A piano loop and I'm back to my roots
[01:33.60] Even the happy guy gets sad too, yeah
[01:36.59] I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero
[01:41.06] 'Cause that could be me
[01:42.78] Yeah, the whole world could see
[01:46.77] I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero
[01:51.42] 'Cause that could be me
[01:53.32] Yeah, the whole world could see
[01:56.87] Aye
[01:57.26] I watch people fall in love with the person that they pretend to be
[02:00.04] Things in front of me become a distant memory
[02:03.26] Damn, that long night in November almost put myself outta my misery
[02:07.41] And that's not even something that I told my parents
[02:09.56] 'Cause I didn't want 'em to be scared or embarrassed
[02:11.98] And if you're in my corner, then I'm sorry that you had to hear this
[02:15.26] But mental health don't really got no physical appearance
[02:17.95] I started taking life less serious
[02:20.83] Aye, I learned that less is more
[02:23.14] I vow to never take my life if you don't take yours
[02:25.61] I mean we both gon' be out there on the tours, hmm
[02:29.49] I'd rather live with the "Oh wells than what ifs"
[02:31.95] Listen close, who else giving you real shit?
[02:34.89] I never said I was a role model
[02:36.64] I don't think Superman would go and drink the whole fifth
[02:39.69] I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero
[02:44.31] 'Cause that could be me
[02:45.96] Yeah, the whole world could see
[02:50.45] I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero
[02:55.06] 'Cause that could be me
[02:56.62] Yeah, the whole world could see
[03:00.95] I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero
[03:05.23] 'Cause that could be me
[03:07.12] Yeah, the whole world could see
[03:11.14] I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero
[03:16.10] 'Cause that could be me
[03:17.70] Yeah, the whole world could see
[03:19.37]
