Never said I wanna be a hero
Never said I wanna be a hero
Never said I wanna be a hero
Never said I wanna be a—
(Never said I wanna be) A hero
Yeah, I don't got a cape or nothin', me, I get my ape on
If anybody want beef, then fork it, I get my steak on it
I done had folk tryna make progress off me by puttin' my face on it
I done heard too many songs that both sound like me and puttin' my name on it (Take that off)
Pay me what I'm worth, look around, you ain't got a lot of options (thats me)
Hands out gettin' ran down, this negotiation gon' cost you (Gon' cost you)
You like it when I'm bein' a hero, but you don't like it when I get out of pocket (Aha)
And the pastor can have a mega church as long as my people ain't flossin' (Yeah)
Hold on (Hold on), they gon' say, "I don't know how to act"
They told us that God, He reigns while they been pissin' on our backs (Okay), huh
Homie called me so stressed out, told me, "Canon, I was on crack"
Cousin back in the hospital for homies that he done tapped
Real life got me tapped in, my father gettin' older
My brother gettin' diagnosed with a problem, we can't win
Can not be everything for everybody, askin', "Canon, can you be my friend?"
I got to time to be nobody, standin' on different, no really, I'm not him
My heart on my sleeve, I'ma let it gleam, now it's drippin' all on my outfit
Never said I wanna be a hero
Never said I wanna be a hero
(Never said I wanna be a hero)
Never said I wanna be a hero
(Never said I wanna be) A hero
Never said I wanna be a hero
(Never said I wanna be) A hero
Yeah, woah, I put it all on my back
I'm out there runnin' the racks, they wanna know where I'm at (Woah)
Woah, woah, I'm probably goin' insane, whole lot of stress on my brain
'Cause everyone lookin' for something
Can you pay for this? Can you pay for that?
Can I borrow this? Can I get with that?
I need your opinion, I'm tryna come up
I got an idea, I feel like I'm stuck
To tell the truth, I don't know
I can't be your hero, I got problems of my own
Tryna make sure that my family A-okay before I go
Mm, feel like I'm all on my own, they try to treat me like God
Tell 'em that I never died on the cross
Ah, leave me alone, I gave you everything that I got
Tell me, what more do you want?
Just want be happy inside, I won't lose my mind
Take my life just to be a hero
Never said I wanna be a hero
Never said I wanna be a hero
(Never said I wanna be a hero)
Never said I wanna be a hero
(Never said I wanna be) A hero
Never said I wanna be a hero
(Never said I wanna be) A hero
God, tell me why they exposin'
Lord, tell me why they expect so much from me
I don't even know whatever's in me, oh
I tried to tell em I can't believe you
Turns out that I'm never leaving you
I don't eve' know that I believe in you
Father, I pray You will give me the strength to be who I'm supposed to be
To live in Your truth and to bless others
And always guide me, even when I'm lost
Thank You, amen
