[Hook: LiRoot]
What makes a hero? What makes a man?
How do you carve that future out as best as you can?
Sculpted from clay, sweat, blood and tears – what they say
Unattended for years filled with dirt and disarray
A barren land, tilled with fear with a rose to grow
Concrete or not it goes to show
Doesn’t matter what you lay in
Strife winds up to stay and
(I’m simply saying that uh, life finds a way)
And so do I
And so do I
[Verse 1: LiRoot]
The prospect of going pop-less Is a prominent
Popular op-op-option in this day and age
Sucks, like wanting a rocket pop-popsicle
When summer’s dropping, the obstacle
Is stopping ya, impossible
With a single parent, full time job, not as profitable
In the modern sense, but to my mom’s I’m a blessing
What’s heaven sent, is evident, is a man that is present
Sure, you never did wrong by your own kids
But what you did right matters just as much in the end
Now on to the hero, zero hour
Proof of the power, action towers over words
Showers love of labor towards
Making sure you can afford not just clothes
But time to pour onto the floor the games we trained for
And when my sneaks got jacked straight from the lockers
I was upset for how hard you worked to be a perfect father
Clad in Laker’s gear, ice cube, are we there yet?
I think we are, I think we are, oh yeah, I feel it
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Lennin Ledesma]
Ayo every time we speak it’s just another blue moon
It seems it’s never too soon, never had a silver spoon
But if I made through to June, then I had some cartoons
Our relationship consumed by our differences and soon
All my bitterness would choose to exclude things you do
I’m a witness someone went and then popped like a balloon
From all the birthdays you missed early in the afternoon
Is when I think about you most, it’s probably safe to assume
That I think about you most, you’ve been missing all my life
Sometimes I wanna hold you close when I think about it twice
I’ve been listening to my conscience blame it on some bad advice
Son living without his father later on he’ll pay the price
One day he’ll understand his absence had me uptight
As I watch the pain expand I’m still searching for the light
I’m praying to the man above he’ll forgive me for my spite
Maybe one day I’ll get that hug and relieve me from that fight
