Hero
Found the girl of dreams and i moved out the hood
Had a little baby life was all good
Then i got a call that something was wrong
Next thing i know i was back to my old ways
Doin dirt, till they came and took me away
Now everything i worked for is gone... gone
Ooh i wish i would have turned away
I would still be free today
Sometimes it don't pay to be the hero
Ooh should have looked into my babys eyes
Before i took another mans life
It don't pay to be the hero
Ohh, if there was something i could say to bring him back (ooh, ooh)
I lost him just like that, i wish that we could turn around (ooh, ooh)
Ohh, if there was something i could say to bring him back (ooh, ooh)
I lost him just like that, i wish that we could turn around (ooh, ooh)
Don't know why it was so hard to let that life go
I was mad, wasn't thinking bout my family at home
And how much they depended on me
Now i'm looking at 20 years, no parole
I'm not gon get the chance to see my baby grow
And what's he gonna think about his daddy... daddy oh
Ooh i wish i would have turned away
I would still be free today
Sometimes it don't pay to be the hero
Ooh should have looked into my babys eyes
Before i took another mans life
It don't pay to be the hero
Ohh, if there was something i could say to bring him back (ooh, ooh)
I lost him just like that, i wish that we could turn around (ooh, ooh)
Ohh, if there was something i could say to bring him back (ooh, ooh)
I lost him just like that, i wish that we could turn around (ooh, ooh)
So many nights i don't sleep (nights i don't sleep)
Cause i think about the things that i've seen (things that i've seen)
They almost really driving me crazy (driving me crazy)
Instead a piece of glass separates my family from me
Ooh i wish i would have turned away (wish i would of turned away)
I would still be free today (yeah)
Sometimes it don't pay to be the hero (it don't pay, noo)
Ooh should have looked into my babys eyes (looked into my babys eyes)
Before i took another mans life
It don't pay to be the hero (it don't pay to be the heerroo)
Ohh, if there was something i could say to bring him back (ooh, ooh)(noo)
I lost him just like that, i wish that we could turn around (ooh, ooh)(i wish that we could turn around)
Ohh, if there was something i could say to bring him back (ooh, ooh)
I lost him just like that, i wish that we could turn around (ooh, ooh)
Found the girl of my dreams and i moved out the hood
Had a litte baby, life was all good
Then i got a call that something was wrong...
Herói
Encontrei a garota dos meus sonhos e saí da quebrada
Tive um bebê, a vida era boa
Então recebi uma ligação dizendo que algo estava errado
Na próxima coisa que sei, voltei aos meus velhos hábitos
Fazendo merda, até que vieram e me levaram embora
Agora tudo que eu conquistei se foi... se foi
Ooh, eu queria ter me afastado
Ainda estaria livre hoje
Às vezes não compensa ser o herói
Ooh, deveria ter olhado nos olhos do meu bebê
Antes de tirar a vida de outro homem
Não compensa ser o herói
Ohh, se houvesse algo que eu pudesse dizer para trazê-lo de volta (ooh, ooh)
Eu o perdi assim, queria que pudéssemos voltar atrás (ooh, ooh)
Ohh, se houvesse algo que eu pudesse dizer para trazê-lo de volta (ooh, ooh)
Eu o perdi assim, queria que pudéssemos voltar atrás (ooh, ooh)
Não sei por que foi tão difícil deixar essa vida para trás
Eu estava puto, não pensava na minha família em casa
E o quanto eles dependiam de mim
Agora estou encarando 20 anos, sem liberdade condicional
Não vou ter a chance de ver meu bebê crescer
E o que ele vai pensar do pai dele... pai oh
Ooh, eu queria ter me afastado
Ainda estaria livre hoje
Às vezes não compensa ser o herói
Ooh, deveria ter olhado nos olhos do meu bebê
Antes de tirar a vida de outro homem
Não compensa ser o herói
Ohh, se houvesse algo que eu pudesse dizer para trazê-lo de volta (ooh, ooh)
Eu o perdi assim, queria que pudéssemos voltar atrás (ooh, ooh)
Ohh, se houvesse algo que eu pudesse dizer para trazê-lo de volta (ooh, ooh)
Eu o perdi assim, queria que pudéssemos voltar atrás (ooh, ooh)
Tantas noites eu não durmo (noites que não durmo)
Porque penso nas coisas que já vi (coisas que já vi)
Elas quase estão me deixando louco (me deixando louco)
Em vez disso, um pedaço de vidro separa minha família de mim
Ooh, eu queria ter me afastado (queria ter me afastado)
Ainda estaria livre hoje (é)
Às vezes não compensa ser o herói (não compensa, não)
Ooh, deveria ter olhado nos olhos do meu bebê (olhado nos olhos do meu bebê)
Antes de tirar a vida de outro homem
Não compensa ser o herói (não compensa ser o herói)
Ohh, se houvesse algo que eu pudesse dizer para trazê-lo de volta (ooh, ooh)(não)
Eu o perdi assim, queria que pudéssemos voltar atrás (ooh, ooh)(queria que pudéssemos voltar atrás)
Ohh, se houvesse algo que eu pudesse dizer para trazê-lo de volta (ooh, ooh)
Eu o perdi assim, queria que pudéssemos voltar atrás (ooh, ooh)
Encontrei a garota dos meus sonhos e saí da quebrada
Tive um bebê, a vida era boa
