Lyrics

Hero

[Verse 1: Ghetts]

I can hear you're in need of a hero

I'm no knight in shining armour

Believe me I'm as greazy as Nino

With the same ego as D-Bo, negro

You can be black, white, Asian, Latino

Everyone bleeds homes, I'll make you leave home

Fuck your bodyweight, nobodies safe

Not even a seed, I'll be eager to squeeze

I'm the reason they're breathing in deep

But in deep, are you breathing?

The closer you get to receiving a beating

But it's ok if leave with the P's king

If you don't pay well

Let's just say you weren't left that way

I'll collect that pay, when head back straight

Don't think i won't let a strap rain, I'm insane

[Chorus: Ghetts]

I used to play baddies and goodies

Now i wear bally's and hoodies

Masked up, start going on aggy in the bookies

I'll bust a .45 Cali on a pussy!

Go ahead be a hero

By the time the police get here I'll be gone with the wind

I don't care where as long as I'm far from the bing

[Verse 2: Devlin]

We've had beef in the same proximity

You moved to our estate but not civilly

You kept hyping up nah that's a liberty

Now I watch you pray for your hero

When the fingers are feeling fidgety

It's dirty devils and I'm breezing differently

Never say that my bars lack credibility

This is real life, no play or nativity

I'll put something inside you

Like a female that's 9 months deep in fertility

There's no hero, I'm the cold breeze in ya earhole

Soul that sneaks through the window

And then i'll be gone when the wind blows

In the blink of an eye and I hope one day

That I'll stumble across what I'm seeking to find

Probably another murder tonight

[Chorus: Ghetts]

I used to play baddies and goodies

Now i wear bally's and hoodies

Masked up, start going on aggy in the bookies

I'll bust a .45 Cali on a pussy!

Go ahead be a hero

By the time the police get here I'll be gone with the wind

I don't care where as long as I'm far from the bing

[Verse 3: Ghetts]

Triple Nine could take a little time

My face won't be visualised

I know London like a city guide

I can do sights in a shitty ride, it's been a busy night

I'm getting cheddar, so rats wanna nibble mine

But i'm the gorilla type

Banana clips don't pick a fight

I won't ever be a victim of citizens arrest

Round here those who are innocent are blind

Round here those who are in a scent of death

See no and here no evil

Even though they're so legal

Nobody wants tugs at the front door

Especially a hero

When you look through the keyhole

Don't ask what I've come for

You better know I ain't gonna knock once more

[Chorus: Ghetts]

I used to play baddies and goodies

Now i wear bally's and hoodies

Masked up, start going on aggy in the bookies

I'll bust a .45 Cali on a pussy!

Go ahead be a hero

By the time the police get here I'll be gone with the wind

I don't care where as long as I'm far from the bing
