What's a Hero?

What is a hero, but a criminal mis-understood

Say what you want to say, I'm not your criminal

Things aren't how you portray, I'm not your criminal

Mother fuckers lie every day, I'm not your criminal

I may not be a hero, but I'm not your criminal

Say what you want to say, I'm not your criminal

Things aren't how you portray, I'm not your criminal

Mother fuckers lie every day, I'm not your criminal

I may not be a hero, but I'm not your criminal

Allow me to introduce myself, I’m the Riddla, most think I’m a villain

But if I'm playing the cards I'm dealt, why am I wrong for being willing?

I stay strapped 'cause I got shot at, not 'cause it looks good with these J’s {Jordans}

Got two kids depending upon me so no, I ain't got time to play

My baby mama lost her shit Cuzz, she's barely in their life

Should have known she was Poison Ivy, but I was transfixed by how she looked in the night

I might not be a hero, but I took my kids out that situation

Just to deal with the stress I get so high I'm levitating

My family’s from the South Side, and I was raised by G’s on the E

Probably the biggest reason why these are the blocks for which I’d bleed

Gotham Killorado pedigree, stash bodies in the factory

Dog food his bitch ass for participating in all of his blasphemy

Do anything for my family, is that what you’d consider a villain?

With the need for applying pressure, would I be wrong if I was willing?

Is the difference between that and a hero written somewhere in the laws?

Because it seems to me like doing good’s the hardest thing to do (pause)

Say what you want to say, I'm not your criminal

Things aren't how you portray, I'm not your criminal

Mother fuckers lie every day, I'm not your criminal

I may not be a hero, but I'm not your criminal

Say what you want to say, I'm not your criminal

Things aren't how you portray, I'm not your criminal

Mother fuckers lie every day, I'm not your criminal

I may not be a hero, but I'm not your criminal

If I'm down for my kids, down for God, down for my family and down for my hood

Why the fuck is it that everybody keeps on looking at me like I'm eternally up to no good?

Can somebody tell me what's wrong with defending what is yours?

I need to set a precedence for my loved ones when I'm gone, away on these tours

I quit taking all my medication, shaking subsided, couldn't E one sided

So instead immortalized it, then I turned it around and provided octane game to the place hate resided

(Shit) No cap, just Ajax facts, all clean, all caps

Butane contained within my snaps, light green in my wrap

This CBD helps me relax, relapse with wax, perhaps I know

Exactly how this shit gonna go {when the} police say (Get on the floor)

I'm simply trying to form a way of living I can pass down to my kids

Without the fear the next time they leave the house they catch one in the ribs

Survival instincts are necessary when you come from the Land of the Lost

So I don't care how you looking at me, I'll protect mine at any cost

And I’m going to teach mine to act the exact same way

Because what’s a criminal, what’s a villain, but words, at the end of the day

Say what you want to say, I'm not your criminal

Things aren't how you portray, I'm not your criminal

Mother fuckers lie every day, I'm not your criminal

I may not be a hero, but I'm not your criminal

Say what you want to say, I'm not your criminal

Things aren't how you portray, I'm not your criminal

Mother fuckers lie every day, I'm not your criminal

I may not be a hero, but I'm not your criminal
