Superheroes

My eyes woven
Glitters golden
You gon catch me when I fall
Pictures broken
Bitter potion
You don’t answer when I call
It’s been a while
Seems it took me way too long
To figure out
That all my heroes lost their capes
Hey Ben
I know you barely know me
But I often sit and wonder
What it takes to be your homie
Yeah I know I’m in first grade
And you probably in 20
But I’ll stick right by your hip
Like your grip if you let me
See my mama be trippin trippin
Like boy stay away from ‘em
Make me sound like DMX
When she tried paint you as Damien
But superheroes aren’t evil nah
That’s not likely
Plus evil people aren’t the people that would buy me ice cream
See I peeped you from my window
And I studied all your moves
Biggest thing that I conclude I want respect just like you
I want to flex just like you
I want the best just like you
I think it’s icky but I even want the cooties just like you
I picture us
On rides to school inside your truck
‘Cause them kids so annoying
I swear I hate that yellow bus
Then we could go to Toys R Us
And probably by like everything
We’ll be together soon Ben I’m putting that on everything
My eyes woven
Glitters golden
You gon catch me when I fall
Pictures broken
Bitter potion
You don’t answer when I call
It’s been a while
Seems it took me way too long
To figure out
That all my heroes lost their cool
Yo Ben
It’s me again
A little older now you give me dap but still too young to be your friend
But I ain’t trippin off it ‘cause I got couple bitches off it
They ask me «you know Benji» what you think bitch you seen us talking
And all my homies pay attention now they see me different
You giving me dap so that clearly means I got the vision
They fall in line and I treat mine just how you treat yours
As if we got gem mines passing time planting C4s
Look I got the new white Js
Brush my hair for the waves
And now we looking the same
My mama mad at the change
She’ll never get it
Spend her time tryna sweat us
She ignoring all the growth from all the ways you made me better
‘Cause I don’t take no disrespect now
I learned from you
Don’t ask a question it’s just man down right
Ain’t that the rules
And it’s fear over love
‘Cause that love shit don’t last
We don’t fear shit but love
That’s the downfall of man
See I learned from you Ben
Now I could earn for you Ben
I do whatever no homo
Just want my turn with you Ben
I be concerned for you Ben
‘Cause you my hero
I can help you kill these villains bro
You know this world is evil man
One more thing
Tell me how you always getting shorties with the yams
I get bitches but they shit on every bitch up in my class
I think it’s something in the mac
Yo bro you gotta teach me that
You’ll give me everything I lack
Yo bro you gotta hit me back please
My eyes woven
Glitters golden
You gon catch me when I fall
Pictures broken
Bitter potion
You don’t answer when I call
It’s been a while
Seems it took me way too long
To figure out
That all my heroes lost their cool
Ay yo Ben what’s going on
I been on you since I was a child but nowadays I’m quite grown
You would recite psalms at least to me
Because your word was like the bible
And that’s what I lived my life on
It’s kinda crazy I’m at your age when I first looked up to you
With information I stopped chasing now I’m looking through you
At 6 years old my biggest dream was riding in your Ford
At 20 something I feel schemed ‘cause it was never yours
You told take the power fuck the love and they’ll respect you
And now you lost your power got no love and they neglect you
But nah I can’t regret you
To me you’re way too special
I send you angels on a daily I pray they protect you
And since I’m older figure we both could be the man now
I guess I’m solo you approach me with your hand out
Can’t help but think «Did you move like this all along?»
Was I blinded by the ice ignoring writings on the wall
All that fighting shit’s a force
All the stripes you get is false
I know it’s in you find your growth can’t see you like this anymore
Oh by the way
The girls with yams finally want me
But let’s be honest passed the body them girls ugly
Bro it’s funny younger me always considered you lucky
I look back on most of my actions I consider me dummy
Not pointing fingers I’m just honest man
You were the cause
But fuck the past the biggest horror is you still ain’t evolve
And we don’t show love right
Yeah you taught me that too
The older I got i just realized you was missing that too
Coping with your black and blues
Brokeness shipped to the youth
I beat the odds
But I was almost as fucked up as you
I write this teary Ben
I just hope you hear me Ben
Love you like no other but I can not have you near me Ben
I’m learning that you did not make me better yo
I gave you what I lacked
Ay just get your shit together dog don’t even hit me back
