life

I put away the cape I'm not here to save the world I'm not here to save someone else I'm here to save myself If you think that's selfish of me then you want me to be selfless you want me to be helpless If you think I should not help myself what's wrong with you acting like you wore out the soles of my shoes you can't sing a lyric in my blues I been caregiver and caretaker to heartbreakers gave and gave until bare tired of being naked chasing those who stole my clothes sick of people if their believer's then I believe their belief will save em I'm no one's hero half the time I'm batting zero bankrupt belly up like fish out of water trying to stay    afloat tired of hearing folk say "get out and vote" been there done that now look where we at it's as if we been hit in the head with the pole shoulve wore a hard hat before doing that the fight for freedom and justice hurts a lot when you want it that bad can't miss what we never had and never gone get if it sounds like I'm on the edge if you see me standing out on a ledge don't talk me down I have no plan to jump down I'm just talking to the crowd  downn on the ground
