[Verse 1]
Its been a wild year proving all my ideas
Are ahead of their time tally up the light years

I formed theories that turned into facts
And realized me and people dont really attract
They all told me no one would know me if I dont interact

Well all your homies are phony and only interested in swagg
Real recognize real just a memory of the past
Day dreaming of dollar bills investing in pen and pads

Tell Aunt Lisa and Theresa I'll be gone this Easter
And Cousin Quetta I'm happy for her cant wait to meet him
And tell Jada move forward nevermind the haters

In due time we'll rise above em like an escalator
Marching at my own pace dust off the respirators
Tired of the cold nights because of broken radiators

I opened up my mind and opened up my eyes
And realized most of these flashy mother $#&@ers blind


[Chorus]
I'll be away for a while
But I wont let it be forever

Make sure you put the word out
There's a new hometown hero
Hometown hero

Hometown hero

[Verse 2]

I swear I've been through it man
That's word to my mama rent
I lost a couple rulers due to rulers of today

If only I had saved all the money spent
Breaking out of this cage I was raised in
In hope that all this rage I parade causes mayhem

And takes moms and I up and out of this ba!@&(t
To a place that I can finally stand straight in
Renovating on my patience for the challenges that's waiting

Contemplating on the ratings that the bloggers are debating
Hoping that they see the aiming of the tears that I'm spraying
And if they don't $#&@ it I'm misunderstood on the daily

I got flies for this %#@! and new tires for the strip
Racing nights to my dreams I aint got time for this %#@!
I've been thrown out a crib this isn't life this how I live

Nahh this isn't life this how I live

[Chorus]

I'll be away for a while
But I wont let it be forever
Make sure you put the word out

There's a new hometown hero
Hometown hero
Hometown hero


[Bridge]
For far too long I've been living all wrong

First chance I get I'll surely be gone
I'll surely be gone


[Chorus]
I'll be away for a while
But I wont let it be forever

Make sure you put the word out
There's a new hometown hero
Hometown hero

Hometown hero
