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 **** 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 **** 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 ****ed 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
