Chuck D - Who's Your Hero? lyrics

[Verse 1] Chuck D and I'm a keep on spreadin Them names of livin' and dead legends 'til Armageddon I save and support those makin a livin' against those makin a k**ing Uh, I crush the villain Diametrically opposed, my mind's able to leap and beatdown All the clowns in a single bound I'm fit for some comic strip, save the silenced From punks drunk off the threat of violence My secret identity is I'm hated for what I am Instead of loved for what I'm not, goddamn, I'm a man Not judged by what I got If rap games like a sport, who the hell cares what i bought? This is Chuck, no car here to snatch up and bag up Ignorance no matter where it is No matter where you are "Bulls on Parade," I rain on that charade Played in the shame, this hero's a deeper shade Now why wouldn't I be cantankerous? At this stage and age, I be spinnin' like a 45 Video chicks the reason they peep them flicks Villain seed implanted so they take it for granted In order to lead the people, you gotta love the people To save the people, you must serve the people To teach the people, you better reach the people But only if you care, yo Who's your hero? [Verse 2] Evil suits and ties attemptin' to try To flip the impressionable scripts of masterminds Feels like a jungle sometimes, makes me wonder If rap is the new COINTELPRO makin' us all go under Sounds of criminal thunder, call it my hate thats stoppin' ya I'm too old to be popular I ain't faster than no speeding bullet I can't fly, and I damn sure ain't high You wanna know why? Here's a page from '69 "Peace!" And that don't mean no crooked police Avoid that pork at all costs And them old beefs Cause is fuel for the motor, foolin' you to fill the quota That's why I hate that Scarface flick Not Brad Jordan, but that Al Pacino shirt you sportin' Yeah I said it, perhaps you ain't read it If you was black or brown Your a** damn sure wouldn't be down Too many clowns promoting criminal backgrounds Using crime like sugar to get them kids hyper These new pied pipers is the new COINTELPRO That's right, who's your hero? [Pre-Hook] Try for the money, even die for the money Cry for the money 'cause they try for the money Even die for the money, cry for the money [Verse 3] I paid attention way back when KRS-ONE said "Love's Gonna Getcha" so it gets stuck in my kitchen So many cats switchin' to get on that old road to riches Stupid, talkin bout snitchin' Whole lotta k**in' with the so called bling Hides the villain, twisted thuggin into lovin Just to get her Supported by mixtape DJ's who supposed to know better Time for some action Against the whippings of ma** distraction
