Still Believe In Heroes

Uh, ahh
 My best friend do not got a mommy and he jealous of me
 So I hug her extra tight before she's ready to sleep
 In the morning I got lot to do and places to be
 Mommy crying in the kitchen I pretend I don't see
 Then I grab my bag I say goodbye and then she says it to me
 As I'm walking out the door I wonder what's expected of me
 I love my momma and I wanna make her problems go away
 But I don't want to see a child in who is parenting me
 A couple days ago I sat down in the kitchen with her
 And she told me that she hate the way she look
 And she get lonely when I'm gone 'cause she got nowhere to turn
 So she tried to lose herself inside her book
 The conversation ended as I'm feeling like a horrible son
 But I kept it and I didn't say a word
 Because I knew that it would only make it worse
 Mommy taught me confidence and now she insecure, uh
 Mommy taught me, "Not to be afraid of mistakes"
 Mommy taught me, "Always to follow a dream"
 Mommy taught me, "How to deal with the pressure"
 But not when the pressure don't belong to me
 Mommy taught me, "Always be grateful and share"
 Mommy taught me, "Always to do what is fair"
 It's not that I don't care it's that I care too much
 And I still believe in heroes
 I still believe in-
 Everything you taught me
 That's why I can't believe your fucking nerve
 You just complain, complain, complain
 I don't think I get the treatment I deserve
 Because I think about you all day
 I don't focus and I feel my stomach turn
 Then you tell me not to worry 'bout it
 Ma' you would just eat your fucking words
 Shit, took me years just to say this so I ain't leaving one thing out
 When I see a tear on your face, is only thing I can think 'bout
 Only thing I want to fix, if I can't help then I flip out
 I saw you cry driving me to school
 Then you wondered why I got kicked out
 See I thought this shit was okay
 My homie found out and he don't
 When I told him, "I can't hang today"
 'Cause my mom depressed she can't be alone
 You taught me, "Not to bite my tongue'
 You taught me, "I control my fate"
 You taught me, "How to get shit straight"
 You taught me, "What is fair, this ain't"
 Shit, I don't want to hear about what could be
 Why the fuck you gotta let the past control you?
 I don't want to hear about a fight with daddy
 Or about the money daddy owe you
 I don't want to hear that you feel ugly
 You're more beautiful than you just could imagine
 I don't want to be in this position when I Iisten
 Thinking you don't know how good you have it
 You could be homeless with no money
 When the wind blowing there's snow coming
 You could be like dad
 Living the same life everyday and going home to nobody
 At least you got me, huh?
 At least you got heat, huh?
 I want to make it just to make you rich
 But a dollar can't sell a pessimist
 Look, I wanna be someone that you can speak with
 But you always tellin' me never forget to be a kid
 But I can't be a kid when I see you like this
 Can't be myself when I see you like this
 Old enough to know my hero isn't invincible
 But I'm still young enough to not
 Wanna know where all the weaknesses is
 I just don't think it's right
 And I just don't think it's fair to act
 When I feel like I gotta parent my parent
 Just for my parent to parent back
 I love you more than you know
 But I cannot be the only reason
 My role model don't roll down a deep end 'cause-
 Mommy taught me, "Not to be afraid of mistakes"
 Mommy taught me, "Always to follow a dream"
 Mommy taught me, "How to deal with the pressure"
 But not when the pressure don't belong to me
 Mommy taught me, "Always be grateful and share"
 Mommy taught me, "Always to do what is fair"
 It's not that I don't care it's that I care too much
 And I still believe in heroes
 I still believe in...
 Heroes
 (Heroes, heroes, heroes)
