I walk through the valley of death, 600 deep
Waking up dead from the sleep
Just like a diamond

Watch me shine
Bright like the sun
Make you wanna pull a gun

And buck 2 shots
For the peckerwood rockin'
Put down your glock

Or your block, I'll be knockin'
And dead off your shoulders
Head will roll

Peckerwood P
Funk $$#assin of soul
Is in control

So have no fear
I'm in this for real
Make it crystal clear

I get a little better each and every year
It's called improvement
Your style's a bowel movement

I'm taking you back to mount CulMcClarin
My whole family's stoned but there aint one sharin'
So whatcha looking at

Huh, why you starin'
Just take a picture
Before I have to hit ya

Ease back kid, gimme some space
Or Whoop there it is upside your face


[Chorus 1]

'Cause a hero aint nothin' but a sandwich

And a legend aint nothin' but a car
So shoot dope in your veins
And get some fame

And maybe one day you'll be a star
You know a hero aint nothin' but a sandwich
And a legend aint nothin' but a car

So go blow out your brains to get some fame
And maybe one day you'll be a star


I live in the house
And it's full of pain
But still out the frame

I'm going insane
I stay on point like a sniper
Chillin' in the viper room

Before it became a tomb
Take the low road
And you hit rock bottom

And keep low riding
All the way to Saddam
And back to Gamora

Now you're señora
Fill it with Salt (?!)
And it's all your fault

Get the S&M downtown
At the vault
Dirty little $#&@up

Raising hell
But next year we'll all talk about how you fell
Because you're judged on how your records sell


[Chorus 2]


A hero aint nothin' but a sandwich
And a legend aint nothin' but a car
So get locked up in chains to get some fame

And maybe one day you'll be a star
You know a hero aint nothin' but a sandwich
And a legend aint nothin' but a car

So go blow out your brains to get some fame
And maybe one day you'll be a star


And maybe one day you be a star [4x]

Let's break it down
To the bear root essence
Count your fingers

Then count your blessings
True confessions
Ask the questions
Substitute your answers with your obsessions
I take to the break of dawn of time

I do it all the time
But you know it don't come easy
Cause I turn on the TV
I see more and more pain and less and less glory
And it's the same ol' story

Ya see year after year the programs sphered
But I aint subscribing
Till there's live executions on Pay-Per View
Word to Donahue
Put on Melrose Place

Whoop there it is upside your face

[Chorus 3]

Cause a hero aint nuthin but a sandwich
And a legend aint nuthin but a car

So shoot dope in our veins
To get that fame
And maybe one day you'll be a star
You know a hero aint nuthin but a sandwich
And a legend aint nuthin but a star
So go blow out your brains
Like Kurt Cobain

And maybe one day you'll be a star

Mabey one day you'll be a star [4x]
