[00:13.62]My best friend do not got a mommy and he jealous of me
[00:17.73]So I hug her extra tight before she's ready to sleep
[00:21.56]In the morning I got lot to do and places to be
[00:25.24]Mommy crying in the kitchen I pretend I don't see
[00:29.00]Then I grab my bag I say goodbye and then she says it to me
[00:32.45]As I'm walking out the door I wonder what's expected of me
[00:36.21]I love my momma and I wanna make her problems go away
[00:40.07]But I don't want to see a child in who is parenting me
[00:43.64]A couple days ago I sat down in the kitchen with her
[00:47.28]And she told me that she hate the way she look
[00:50.39]And she get lonely when I'm gone 'cause she got nowhere to turn
[00:54.91]So she tried to lose herself inside her book
[00:58.17]The conversation ended as I'm feeling like a horrible son
[01:02.35]But I kept it and I didn't say a word
[01:05.31]Because I knew that it would only make it worse
[01:09.31]Mommy taught me confidence and now she insecure, ah
[01:13.26]Mommy taught me not to be afraid of mistakes
[01:16.84]Mommy taught me always to follow a dream
[01:20.65]Mommy taught me how to deal with the pressure
[01:24.40]But not when the pressure don't belong to me
[01:28.06]Mommy taught me always be grateful and share
[01:31.73]Mommy taught me always to do what is fair
[01:35.49]It's not that I don't care it's that I care too much
[01:39.17]And I still believe in heroes
[01:41.58]I still believe in
[01:44.45]Everything you taught me,
[01:45.32]That's why I can't believe your ******g nerve
[01:46.96]You just complain, complain, complain,
[01:48.66]I don't think I get the treatment I deserve
[01:50.71]Because I think about you all day,
[01:52.60]I don't focus and I feel my stomach turn
[01:54.28]Then you tell me not to worry 'bout it,
[01:55.97]Ma' you would just eat your ******g words
[01:58.17]******, took me years just to say this,
[02:00.25]So I ain't leaving one thing out
[02:02.14]When I see a tear on your face,
[02:04.04]Is only thing I can think 'bout
[02:06.00]Only thing I want to fix,
[02:07.66]If I can't help then I flip out
[02:09.57]I saw you cry driving me to school
[02:11.33]Then you wondered why I got kicked out
[02:13.32]See I thought this ****** was okay,
[02:14.97]My homie found out and he don't
[02:17.02]When I told him I can't hang today
[02:18.94]'Cause my mom depressed she can't be alone
[02:20.89]You taught me not to bite my tongue
[02:22.54]You taught me I control my fate
[02:24.42]You taught me how to get ****** straight
[02:26.26]You taught me what is fair, this ain't
[02:28.23]******, I don't want to hear about what could be,
[02:30.35]Why the ****** you gotta let the past control you?
[02:32.09]I don't want to hear about a fight with daddy
[02:34.08]Or about the money daddy owe you
[02:35.62]I don't want to hear that you feel ugly
[02:37.56]You're more beautiful than you just could imagine
[02:39.44]I don't want to be in this position
[02:41.11]When I listen thinking you don't know how good you have it
[02:43.38]You could be homeless with no money,
[02:45.08]When the wind blowing there's snow coming
[02:46.86]You could be like dad, living the same life
[02:48.83]Everyday and going home to nobody
[02:50.73]At least you got me, huh?
[02:52.59]At least you got heat, huh?
[02:54.64]I want to make it just to make you rich
[02:56.11]But a dollar can't sell a pessimist
[02:58.08]Look, I wanna be someone that you can speak with
[03:01.76]But you always tellin' me never forget to be a kid
[03:03.57]But I can't be a kid when I see you like this
[03:05.71]Can't be myself when I see you like this
[03:07.51]Old enough to know my hero isn't invincible
[03:10.03]But I'm still young enough to not wanna know
[03:11.90]Where all the weaknesses is
[03:13.09]I just don't think it's right
[03:14.56]And I just don't think it's fair to act
[03:16.68]When I feel like I gotta parent my parent
[03:18.89]Just for my parent to parent back
[03:20.50]I love you more than you know
[03:21.99]But I cannot be the only reason
[03:24.17]My role model don't roll down a deep end 'cause
[03:27.42]Mommy taught me not to be afraid of mistakes
[03:30.95]Mommy taught me always to follow a dream
[03:34.42]Mommy taught me how to deal with the pressure
[03:38.27]But not when the pressure don't belong to me
[03:41.91]Mommy taught me always be grateful and share
[03:45.59]Mommy taught me always to do what is fair
[03:49.25]It's not that I don't care it's that I care too much
[03:53.00]And I still believe in heroes
[03:55.54]I still believe in
[03:57.78]Heroes
