[Hook: Silas]
So I ask myself where are all those superheroes
That you keep talking about, writing movies about, singing songs about?
'Cause I don't see them anywhere still everyone cares
More for them than for the real life
Rather have a screen than your plans in sight
Yeah you can be distracted for your whole life
Or get up, be a hero and live life
[Bridge: Silas]
Just live life, live life
You can be distracted for your whole life
Or get up, be a hero and live life (2x)
[Verse 1: Silas]
I used to spend all my days smoking weed, getting high, getting by
Nowadays I ask myself: Why?
Did I waste my time like that
“Lord please, could you give me that time back?!”
I know it doesn't work that way
But i don't care I don't even mind anyways
Here's what I gotta say:
Learned my lesson, now its time to move on
So I just put all my hurt into this song
My only doctor is my own music
I don't need no couch this right here is therapeutic
What I'm tryna say is do something with your life
I know how it feels when you finally realize
That you wasted so much time that you could have used properly
Could I have written a couple thousand songs? Probably
But I’m not dwelling in the past, my time is now
So from here on out, I'm taking the right route
The right way, the right path
There's no dialing back, no turning back
Left it all behind, no regrets - I ain’t looking back
I don't wanna hear it anymore, don't wanna see it anymore
To me a hero is someone who gets things done
So matter of fact it could be anyone
Yeah, you can be a hero so get up off your ass
Set goals and achieve ‘em and make ‘em last

[Verse 2: B.g. Bene]
I used to dream about the spotlight, blurry vision
Metaphors in the cypher, life living it uptight
'Cause I ain't never felt the need to be a hero night in and night out
Pass me the torch - I light it up
No time for flashbacks ashes turned into dust while on the fly
If you wanna be a hero please at least try, don't just get by
Living in the world where they blackmail you with life for money, kinda funny
I've been reminiscing back then as a younging never had no worries
Now I'm understanding how this game is really ticking
Worked myself in, just to get it taken
I've been shaking, creeping through the back
It's a superhero ratatat
Man I just don't live rap - I breathe this shit
Fuck medication, I'm doing this with motivation
Learned to adjust, now I'm still on the way up
Like a phoenix from the ashes I'm on the rise
Jumped out of the shadow, now I'm back in disguise
A masked avenger, with a message for you
Strive for greatness, no need to debate this
Yeah you can be a hero, just be you
Seize the moment no matter what you do
