BROCKHAMPTON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll quarter back yo side chick
Hut hut one hike bitch
Don't hide her I'll find it
Hit it once then rewind it
Hit it twice then get blinded
We get blunted, I don't trust 'em
And I don't act like I love 'em
I finally did it I found me a stranger, I took her to dinner
And then I got in it I told her she ain't shit and then she replaced me
With some other nigga, she told me she hate how I roll
Better than dragging this chick on the road
Better than taking this chick to my show
Get straight, keep pace or keep space from my face
No taste, a lot of ladies is 6th place
Type to get misplaced drunk and throwed
Shawty was getting old, and she ain't know that I was cold
And she always wanted more
Click clack boom bap goes the beat
When I can't keep shawty on her feet
No more tears, no more fears
No more years, to waste on thoughts unclear
I don't need you, I don't one I need some more
Treat me so bad, fuck you so good, oh yeah that's love
You need a hero, you need a hero baby
You need a hero, you need a hero baby
I don't need you, I don't one I need some more
Treat me so bad, fuck you so good, oh yeah that's love
You need a hero, you need a hero baby
You need a hero, you need a hero baby
You can't wait for love
That shit don't last forever
I can’t wait for you
That shit don’t last forever
I know you well know you better than yourself
Know your ins and outs and curves
You swerving straight into your house
You know my name
Say my name touch yourself we got issues
Know your frame, know your game we got issues
Know I’m lame, know you same we got issues
Keep it strange, no one to blame

Swear you fucked like half these kids
How to love on such a bitch
Shoulda fucked up on your cousin
She look good even with black on
Next time that you say you love me
Baby I'll just ask why ya here
No more tears
No more fears
No more years, to waste on thoughts unclear
I don't need you, I don't one I need some more
Treat me so bad, fuck you so good, oh yeah that's love
You need a hero, you need a hero baby

The lyrics to BROCKHAMPTON’s song HERO describe a tumultuous relationship with a woman who the singer treats poorly despite being in love with her. The first verse details the singer’s attitude towards his side chick who he treats as a disposable object. He doesn’t trust her but still engages in casual sex with her. The chorus mentions how the woman needs a hero, implying that she is looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to save her from this toxic relationship. The second verse seemingly addresses the same woman, saying that she needs to let go of her romantic illusions as love doesn't last forever. The final verse switches perspectives to the woman, who is depicted as being willing to subject herself to degradation in order to be loved.
Overall, the song HERO is a commentary on abusive relationships and the cycle of power and control that can develop. The lyrics’ mix of vulnerability, suspicion, and manipulation show how love can be twisted and harmful. The song completes with a slurred repetition of the chorus, emphasizing how the cycle of abuse can be hard to break.

I'm sorta back
I'm back in the game
I'll quarter back yo side chick
I'll take control of your girl
Hut hut one hike bitch
I'm making the first move
Don't hide her I'll find it
You can't hide your girl from me
Hit it once then rewind it
I'm going to take what I want and go back for more
Hit it twice then get blinded
I'm going to keep going until I can't see straight
We get blunted, I don't trust 'em
We smoke weed and I don't trust these girls
And I don't act like I love 'em
I'm not going to pretend I have feelings for them
I finally finish, she finally famous
Once I'm done with her, she'll be known as the girl who slept with me
I finally did it I found me a stranger, I took her to dinner
I found a new girl and took her out to eat
And then I got in it I told her she ain't shit and then she replaced me
After I slept with her, I insulted her and she moved on to someone better
With some other nigga, she told me she hate how I roll
She doesn't like my lifestyle and left me for someone else
Better than dragging this chick on the road
It's better than touring with her
Better than taking this chick to my show
It's better than bringing her to my performance
Get straight, keep pace or keep space from my face
Stay in line, keep up, or stay away from me
No taste, a lot of ladies is 6th place
I don't have a preference and most girls are just generic
Type to get misplaced drunk and throwed
I'm the type to get lost when I'm drunk and act recklessly
Shawty was getting old, and she ain't know that I was cold
The girl was aging and didn't realize I was indifferent to her
And she always wanted more
She always wanted something serious and I didn't
Click clack boom bap goes the beat
The music is starting up
When I can't keep shawty on her feet
When the girl can't handle my lifestyle
No more tears, no more fears
I'm done with feeling emotional
No more years, to waste on thoughts unclear
I don't have any more time to waste on unclear thoughts
I don't need you, I don't one I need some more
I don't need you, I need something more
Treat me so bad, fuck you so good, oh yeah that's love
We have a toxic relationship but it feels like love
You need a hero, you need a hero baby
You need someone to save you
She put her whole spirit in it
She put all her effort into it
She run around and keep her whole spirit in it
She's dedicated to pleasing everyone
She turn around she let the whole squad hit it
She let the whole group have sex with her
Face down that bitch
She's submissive and vulnerable
I don't need you don't need me I need you more
We don't need each other, but I need you more
Fuck me so good, treat me so bad oh yeah that's love you need a
We have a love-hate relationship, and you need someone to save you
You need a hero
You need someone to save you
