Childish Gambino - Hero Lyrics






Yeah, yes I'm on top
I'm going this hard, and never gon' stop
Yeah, yes I'm on top
I'm going this hard, and never gon' stop

(Cheezy wassup)

[Verse 1:]
Let me hear you holla bitch: actor, writer, rapper
Nigga I do all of it
Lactose tolerant, addicted to cheddar
And I spent it on a jacket man I don't know no better
Yeah it's Childish Gambino, yeah I'm fly as a feather
Yeah my nigga be suburban but my flow keep it ghetto
Keep my swagger Polaroid you can watch it develop
Ain't it funny in a year I went from different to special
Yeah I got it together, yeah I took those chances
Labels on me like I might cause cancer
Yes a nigga flow went from Camry to Phantom
I'm just talking real shit, hopin' you can handle
Sleepin on the jet like "lier" like chandle
Flyer than a jet women hoping they can land him
How we turn everything to gold that they hand em?
I am just different, that's the only answer

[Hook:]
Yeah, yes I'm on top
I'm going this hard, and never gon' stop
Yeah, yes I'm on top
I'm going this hard, and never gon' stop
I'm a hero [x8], yeah

[Verse 2:]
Back on my grind, nigga I'm a skater
She just think I'm fine, nigga you's a hater
Style with no name, they just want to label me
They should call it what these other niggas are afraid to be
APC store walkin' out with eight bags
Yeah I'm killin' paper, call it poppin' tag
You ever spend three grand on designer vision
When you should really spent it on your little sis tuition?
She played my album when nobody else out there would listen
I'm comin' harder than these girls that you would swear were pissin'
DaVinci-esque, I'm the real deal
The only thing I don't know is how fake feel
I'm living everything these other niggas lyin' bout
Bitches don't believe me, to prove it to em I fly 'em out
She say that I'm her everything, I'm better than those other guys
I say I'm just a rapper, she tell me that's a fuckin' lie

[Hook]

[Verse 3:]
They said me rappin' was like MJ and baseball
But that would make me MJ, so motherfuck all of y'all
Trippin' on this fame shit, drinking like a fuckin fish
Listen to the next track I Be On That other shit
Yes I sound weird, nigga, take it as a compliment
Guess who's in the house and representing like a congressman
Anything I put my mind to I accomplish it
From writing scripts with Tina Fey to laying down the hardest shit
Who else is doing what I'm doing? No one
And I mean girls too, intended no pun
I'm on the road son, busy like I'm Bone Thug
Comment left anonymous cause ain't nobody want none
She laying in my bed she gotta be bi-curious
Barf on the track, the amazing and rap-furious
Damn bloggers argue whether or not I'm serious
It's Nas' Illmatic not Eddie Murphy's Delirious
Got the limelight, you stupid you think I'm sharing this
Showing up late, promoters wondering where he is
Got some nightmares, but failing's gotta be scariest
But I would never fail, I'm a hero one of the best there is

[Hook]

  44. S.... R....

    fcking raise of lil wayne? pff somee $hit yeahhh

  45. n.... p....

    Damn bloggers argue whether or not I’m serious
    It’s Nas' Illmatic not Eddie Murphy’s Delirious

  46. D.... ....

    "They said me rappin' was like MJ in Baseball, but that would make me MJ so motherfuck all ya'll"
    Shit goes

  47. r.... ....

    dope shit

  48. J.... B....

    this song's great with the beat to the end of his verses and lyrically, just hope he will do it with a bit of a different voice. kind of like kanye with home --> homecoming

  49. M.... D....

    That's a reason why I didn't dig that mixtape too much. Not much depth. I loved toxic and Shoulda Known and I liked most of the others, but there was no special feeling connected to the mixtape

  50. G.... ....

    what about royalty

  51. d.... ....

    What does that have to do with this song?

  52. M.... D....

    Something i never really think about: Gambino never has features, so that's another reason why he's awesome

  53. K.... B....

    This song better be in NBA 2K15

  54. D.... L....

    @JANKINS why would I visit your channel if you said "id totally regret it"

  62. s.... h....

    I'm displeased. My cousin resides in the opposite room. I'm pissed because he as of late grew excellent with all women. He found the Master Attraction web page (Lookup in Google) by Jake Ayres. Now I hear him bringing chicks back. He's continuously having girls back. I can't help but hear it. It's gross and If only he had not found that site. My good friend just signed up and got a blowjob a week later. I'm green with envy!

  63. a.... ....

    YOU SIR, ARE A BITCH

  64. D.... S....

    how did a fish bring people here?

  65. A.... A....

    That was excellent information. I found myself so confounded observing my pal move from being lame to a ladies man. He went from zero to hero. He pretended he didn't notice. He ultimately admitted it on Friday. He said he learned from the Jake Ayres Master Attraction Formula. Google it and you'll find it... He's seeing a beauty... Lucky fucker! Where are the best of these videos online?

He behaved like it was standard for a while. He then told me while he was drunk. He told me he learned from the Jake Ayres Master Attraction Formula. Google it and you'll find it... He's seeing a beauty... Where are the most useful movies on Youtube?

  71. M.... ....
