Lyrics

I'm the monster you needed

I was born in the dark where the lights don't shine

Heroes got buried before they could claim what was mine

Watched my people get hit, watched my homies do time

Learned quick that the good die young and the real ones grind

Ain't no Superman comin', ain't no capes in the hood

Just a Glock and a plan and the will to do what I should

They told me "be better," but better get you put on a shirt

So I became what they feared, turned the pain into work

They wanted the light but the light was a lie

The real ones survive where the good ones go die

I ain't proud of the path, but I'm still alive

So I wear the darkness like armor tonight

I'm not the hero you wanted (nah)

I'm the monster you needed (yeah)

I'm not the hero you wanted (nah-nah)

I'm the monster you needed (yeah-yeah)

Came from the dark where the real ones get defeated

Now they call on the monster when the pressure get heated

Blood on my soul but the family still eatin'

They hate what I am but they love what I'm bein'

Not the knight with the light, I'm the demon they feedin'

I'm not the hero you wanted, ooh

I'm the monster you needed

Fake smiles everywhere, they be actin' like friends

But I see through the cap 'cause I know how it ends

They was laughin' behind me when I took all the Ls

Now they quiet as hell when the money come in

I don't do the peace talks, I don't do the "let's talk"

I do silence and dracos when they runnin' they mouth

Cut off everybody who ain't ridin' for real

Now the circle so tight that the opps can't steal

I protect what I love even if it make me the villain

'Cause the hero would fold when the pressure start buildin'

I done seen too many good men get left in the dirt

So I took every sin and I wore it like a shirt

I'm not the hero you wanted (nah)

I'm the monster you needed (yeah)

I'm not the hero you wanted (nah-nah)

I'm the monster you needed (yeah-yeah)

Came from the dark where the real ones get defeated

Now they call on the monster when the pressure get heated

Blood on my soul but the family still eatin'

They hate what I am but they love what I'm bein'

Not the knight with the light, I'm the demon they feedin'

I'm not the hero you wanted, ooh

I'm the monster you needed

Now I sit at the top where the monsters belong

With the scars on my soul and the blood on my palms

They wanted a hero to save 'em with words

I gave 'em the reaper who move without verbs

No interviews, no apologies, no press

Just results and respect and a whole lot of stress

But I carry it all so the young ones can breathe

And the ones who betrayed me can stay in the trees

I ain't ask for this crown, but it fit on my head

'Cause the hero ran off when the real war was fed

Now I'm here in the dark with the power they fear

And the city stay quiet when my name in the air

I'm not the hero you wanted (nah)

I'm the monster you needed (yeah)

I'm not the hero you wanted (nah-nah)

I'm the monster you needed (yeah-yeah)

Came from the dark where the real ones get defeated

Now they call on the monster when the pressure get heated

Blood on my soul but the family still eatin'

They hate what I am but they love what I'm bein'

Not the knight with the light, I'm the demon they feedin'

I'm not the hero you wanted, ooh

I'm the monster you needed

I'm not the hero you wanted (nah)

I'm not the hero you wanted (nah)

I'm the monster you needed

I'm not the hero you wanted
