Hometown Hero
Big K.R.I.T. & Grillade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
People love talking but never say shit to my face
Pardon my language
You can not hold me
I mean it
Its time to put bitches in place
Right off the rip
I've been the greatest, don't ever compare, cause shit is a wrap
Please keep an eye on your girl
If she come around the gang
Then she getting snatched
Gotta show love to my city
Believe it they with me
My girl is too pretty
A ten
They woke a beast from his slumber
Now they in trouble
I'm hungry
I'm eating again
Feasting these rappers
If you a lame
I Still wouldn't dap you
I know a lot of people can't stand me
So they're on their knees, or they take a seat, I
Walk up in the place
I don't say a thing
Yeah they know my name (yeah they know my name)
Euro through the lane
Call me Shaq
I'm going hard up in the paint (hard up in the paint)
We can not relate
I just always give and you just always take (always take)
Know they call you lame
Know they call you fake
Not me
What am I?
Hometown hero til I die
Hometown hero touch the sky
Hometown hero til I die
Hometown hero never lie, never lie
Lie to me
Cry to me
Fake ones stay trying me
When I get popping, then I need apologies
From all the people that talking and gossiping
I don't forgive
Hold a grudge
Man I can't let it go
Cause I get offended from people who never step up to the plate
If given the chance
Then I will go Bonds, or Griffey and knock they ass out of the state if they wanna play games yeah
Keep it up
Same kid with big dreams and I ain't giving up
On the rise
Do this every time
Lock in when its go, go, go, go time
Hometown why I shine
Put the city on my back
Till I touch the sky
Raised by the wolves
So I stay committed
I will never listen
Focused on progression
I've been efficient
I'm definition of being persistent, I
Walk up in the place
I don't say a thing
Yeah they know my name (yeah they know my name)
Euro through the lane
Call me Shaq
I'm going hard up in the paint (hard up in the paint)
We can not relate
I just always give and you just always take (always take)
Know they call you lame
Know they call you fake
Not me
What am I?
Hometown hero til I die
Hometown hero touch the sky
Hometown hero til I die
Hometown hero never lie, never lie
