Lyrics

[Intro]
Listen
Every story need a superhero and a villain
Now, introducing
Metro motherfuckin' Boomin, ****
[Verse 1]
Ah, yeah
They pray for the day that I lose it
But God gave me the power to use it
May've waited a while, but I'm on time, yeah
I glide through the rain and the fire
Take no days off, can't retire
Know you waited a while, but I'm on time
[Refrain]
Oh, I'm on time, hey
Know you waited a while, but I'm on time
Oh, I'm on time, on time
Know you waited a while, but I'm on time
Time, time
May've waited a while, but I'm on time
May've waited a while, but I'm on time
[Bridge]
You know what they say
If Young Metro don't trust you
Motherfucker, you better run
[Outro]
All the villains is grinnin', all my **** is winnin'
Must I remind you one more time? Must I remind you ****?
I gotta tell you **** again
We gotta show them **** again
We gotta, we gotta, hold on, P
I'm done
I am done apologizing, I am done being persecuted for my strength
You people should be thanking Christ that I am who and what I am, because you need me
You need me to save you, you do
I am the only one who possibly can
You're not the real heroes, I'm the real hero
