"Hometown Hero" lyrics

Yeah we still dreamin' in America
One time for the fighters I'm hearing ya
West side east side man its all the same
Down south midwest gotta make a change
Still believe in America
Yeah we been through it all so I'm here with ya
Starting now we gotta make a change
And tonight we gon' all rage

Felt like the world ended last night
And it wasn't that bad
We all bled the same color
How ironic is that
Wasn't about to do it sober so we threw one back
And somehow made it to heaven and I split it with Mac
Yeah, my biggest pet peeve is how time flies
Is it harder to keep a secret or to keep a surprise
I would have to say secret you could tell by my eyes
I'm gone and ain't nobody surprised
Wish I could see me through my fans eyes
Because I live my lowest lows but they only see my highest highs
I get triggered by the sound of a metronome
Make the whole city put a smile on
Feel like, I did this on my ten-thousandth hour
Nowadays you gotta die if you wanna get your flowers
Yeah my palms sweating while I'm standing in my shower
Lettin' all these bad thoughts overpower the nice guy
For real, man
You know that I got bad days too
Where the room feels cold
And the sky ain't blue
And the nights feel long
And the clock's like glue
And my mic won't listen
And these thoughts feel true
A piano loop and I'm back to my roots
Keep it simple when I'm speaking the truth
A piano loop and I'm back to my roots
Even the happy guy gets sad too, yeah

I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero
Cause that could be me
Yeah, the whole world could see
I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero
Cause that could be me
Yeah, the whole world could see

Aye, I watch people fall in love with the person that they pretend to be
Things in front of me become a distant memory
Damn, that long night in November almost put myself outta my misery
And that's not even something that I told my parents
Cause I didn't want em to be scared or embarrassed
And if you're in my corner than I'm sorry that you had to hear this
But mental health don't really got no physical appearance
I started taking life less serious
Aye, I learned that less is more
I vow to never take my life if you don't take yours
I mean we both gon' be out there on the tours
I'd rather live with the oh wells than what ifs
Listen close, who else giving you real shit?
I never said I was a role model
I don't think Superman would go and drink the whole fifth

I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero
Cause that could be me
Yeah, the whole world could see
I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero
Cause that could be me
Yeah, the whole world could see
I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero
Cause that could be me
Yeah, the whole world could see
I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero
Cause that could be me
Yeah, the whole world could see
