Daily Heroic
This is hope in the city
Living giving you all of me simply hoping you're with me
and if it isn't in me, I'll be finished, I'm not
giving into any endings where a win ain't the plot
I say the same things a lot, like, Fatty for the Win
but at the end of the day I'm still beginning again
It's like I'm trying to get rich, and I ain't even getting by
It's like I'm sitting in a ditch trying to reach for the sky
Put your hands up high if the dream is inside you
I ain't trying to lead you, I'm in stride right beside you
It's a matter of pride, too, it's my daily heroic
I'm divided inside but I ain't trying to show it
Yo I hope these kids don't notice just how hopeless this flow can get
but I'm rolling this boulder on my own up the road again
I'm Sisyphus, listen, cause success is a fickle friend
I haven't met him yet but I'll be sick of him in the end
this is hope in the city
living giving you all of me simply hoping you're with me
and if it isn't in me, i'll be finished I'm not
giving into any endings where a win ain't the plot
it's the daily heroic yo, this is hope in the city
living giving you all of me simply hoping you're with me
so it's fatty for the win and wherever the win be
is the only place i'm going i'm a bring you there with me
my girl is pretty worried cause i've given up sleeping
i put 46 hours into my work every weekend
we can go a whole day without speaking
the distance is breaking her heart but she won't lend
and ear to her friends they all say i'm a problem
and they're right she's been working 2 jobs she's exhausted
i'm deliquent on loans, she came home and i lost it
she even brought me dinner but i's pissed so i tossed it
that was fatty for the loss but she still wouldn't talk shit
she's my rock honestly and she's like baby you got this
and i wanna believe her but this nightmare gets realer
with every minute that i'm in it but not willing to be there
i'm faking confidence like "baby, i know i got this,
I'm shooting for a win and when I aim I cannot miss"
But I better get going cause the going is tough
knowing I can be heroic but almost no one else does
this is hope in the city
living giving you all of me simply hoping you're with me
and if it isn't in me, i'll be finished I'm not
giving into any endings where a win ain't the plot
it's the daily heroic yo, this is hope in the city
living giving you all of me simply hoping you're with me
so it's fatty for the win and wherever the win be
is the only place i'm going i'm a bring you there with me
my brother's in the hospital; doc says he's depressed
and my mother's best friend has got a lump on her breast
and my best friend's calling me, he just got arrested
and i owe a rent check for this cockroach infested
trashy apartment, yet i say it don't phase me
til i snap at a fan just for claiming i'm lame
because i ain't made a change on my page in like 8 weeks
i'm aiming for fame, trying to change but remain me
haters enrage me, i speak in metaphors
i'm a lyrical machine trying to seek a better chorus
i better start seeing light leaking up ahead
this tunnel is dark, i hardly see any friends
i better level up i'm ready, steadily grinding
with a hell of a hill still to climb til the lime light
staring at manhattan out my window at sunset
another day has passed and fatty still hasn't won yet
this is hope in the city
and i'm hoping you're with me
when this boulder gets heavy
ya'll are holding me steady
and i'm not giving into
any endings
where a win ain't the plot
this is hope in the city
living giving you all of me simply hoping you're with me
and if it isn't in me, i'll be finished I'm not
giving into any endings where a win ain't the plot
it's the daily heroic yo, this is hope in the city
