[Verse 1: Brabo Gator]

Daddy can you hear me? Can you see me? Can you free me?

I'm shackled to your memory

Am I everything that you thought I'd be?

The day you laid your armor down and took your last breath just keeps replaying now

I'm doing my best to be strong for everyone around

But tonight I'm breaking down

Thinking 'bout the lessons you taught, you got your point across with the ways you talked

I watched you move mountains to me, but then I watched you struggle to walk

And every day burns like the last one

Hope you forgive me for the times I was a bad son

But Lord, you took my hero from me when you know I only had one


[Pre-Chorus: Savannah Dexter]

That was my hеart you broke

That was my friend you stole

That was thе man that made me who I am

Now you see this mask I wear

Out in the sun's despair

Goodbye plans and I guess I'll never understand


[Chorus: Savannah Dexter]

Still my hero

Still my hero

Still my hero

Still my hero


[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]

Some days I sit and reminisce and I think of the past

How do we lose something we love and it just happens in a flash?

It's just the cycle of life, I swear it happened so fast

You watched me take my first breath, I watched you take your last

Last night I couldn't sleep so I got up and took me a ride

I took a ride through Antioch, I smoked a joint, and I cried

I watched you stare death in the face without a fear in your eyes

You taught me how I should live, you taught me how I should die

Wish I could have the strength you had as you laid there on that bed

Staring at death, I remember every word that you said

Without a hint of bitterness, you sat there shaking your head

Laughing and telling stories about the life you had led

While you was alive is when we gave you flowers

You taught me love is the way a man stays in power

You taught me always be brave and stay away from cowards

I only wish that Heaven had visitation hours

I can't lie, me and my brothers, we've been taking it hard

Lately this is how it is, conversations with God is like-


[Pre-Chorus: Savannah Dexter]

That was my heart you broke

That was my friend you stole

That was the man that made me who I am

Now you see this mask I wear

Out in the sun's despair

Goodbye plans and I guess I'll never understand


[Chorus: Savannah Dexter]

Still my hero

Still my hero

Still my hero

Still my hero
