Hercules
Neville Aaron Lyrics

All's in fear is fear itself
The only thing to be afraid of is being afraid.

Check out your own backyard before you check out someone else
Look at yourself and your own problems before investigating or interfering with others.

Railroad track in my neighborhood
There are problems or dangers in my area.

Ain't no trains around that part, just ain't no good
Despite the lack of obvious danger, something is still wrong and potentially harmful.

Wanna know, what's going down
I want to understand what is happening or what the situation is.

And the pimp on the corner looks like the sharpest cat in town
The person in control or with power in this situation is very savvy or influential.

Jungle rule, can't be no fool
Life is difficult and dangerous, so it's important to be smart and careful to survive.

Might get caught by the hook of a crook, call time for cool
Beware of getting involved with criminals or dangerous people and stay calm to avoid getting in trouble.

Look out jay, what you say, what you carryin' brother
Be careful what you do or say and what you are carrying with you, especially around the police.

I hope you're clean 'cause the man is mean, oh, don't come another further
I hope you don't have anything illegal on you because the police are very tough and won't let anything slide.

We all know the answer will come out in time
Eventually we will find out the truth or the solution to the problem.

I might even carry some of your load, right along with mine
I am willing to help you and share some of the burden or responsibility.

Thank you ma'am, mister, please
Showing gratitude and respect to others.

'Cause I must be Hercules
I need to be strong and powerful like the mythical figure of Hercules.

Like a bird, on the wing
Flying free and being independent.

I just wanna be free enough to do my thing
I want the freedom to live my life as I choose without hindrance or judgment.

I can feel the pressure from every side
Feeling stressed and overwhelmed by many different issues or demands.

If you're not gonna help, don't hurt, just pass me by
If you can't provide assistance then please don't cause more harm, just leave me be.

No
Negative or refusal.

Jungle rule, can't be no fool
Repeating previous point, that it's important to be smart and careful in difficult and dangerous situations.

Devil is on the loose, no cool
There is a lot of danger and chaos around with no clear solution.

Got your feet in the sand
Stuck and can't move or progress.

Got to be down with the cats that around and still got the face the man
Need to accept and befriend the people around me, especially those who are enduring difficult challenges, while still having to confront and fight against authority or oppression.

Talk about me if you please
Others can say what they want or have opinions about me, but it doesn't matter to me.

Duckin' rocks, catchin' stones
Avoiding attacks or insults, but occasionally getting hit anyways.

Mootin' how can I survive what's going on
Confused about how to endure and overcome current challenges or obstacles.

Big steely borrow
Feeling like a steel object is pressing down on me and making it difficult to move forward.

Somehow I've got to make it till tomorrow
I need to find a way to survive and carry on despite the difficult circumstances and pressure.

Can't depend on no one else
I can't rely or depend on anyone else to solve or help with the problems I am facing.

Comin' up the hard way I've got to save myself
I need to learn to survive and overcome challenges on my own without outside help.

Must be Hercules
Reiterating that I need to be strong and powerful like the mythical figure of Hercules to overcome the obstacles in my life.

Talk about me if you please
Reiterating that others can say what they want or have opinions about me, but it doesn't matter to me.

I must be Hercules
Final reiteration of the need to be strong and powerful like the mythical figure of Hercules to survive and thrive in life.
