Heroes - Tom MacDonald

There's too many songs 'bout diamond teeth and gold chains

Too many rappers who still glorify gangs

There's way too many rhymes about

Codeine and women we like to bang

I just wanted to make a song to say thanks

Thank you to the cops who really

Tryna make the world a better place

Riskin' they lives to keep a man they never even met safe

They ain't tryna kill your kids or lock their father away

They got families who need food on they plates

And thank you to the firefighters

Whenever I hear sirens I pray

It takes a special kind of man to

Run toward all the flames

When we see smoke and we need help

The fire can't be contained

They runnin' in while everybody runs away

And thank you to the soldiers fightin'

For us flyin' way overseas

Ain't never met you but

I love you 'cause you're dyin' for me

I'm enjoyin' my freedom and I know freedom ain't free

When the anthem plays I don't take a knee

And thank you to the truckers

The janitors and the average people

The ones holdin' the jobs that will damage your ego

The ones who do the most and in return they get zero

Screw what anyone says y'all are heroes

Everyday people

They know who they are they aren't superstars

And they don't fight evil

They gotta do their hours with no superpowers

Everyday people

Don't always save the world they don't get the girl

But y'all are heroes

Heroes

Too many songs about Xanax and faces covered with tattoos

And way too many asses on camera wit' rap dudes

Too much Gucci Louis Prada clothin' tryin' to brand you

I just wanted to make a song to say thank you

Thank you to the paramedics comin' at high speed in an ambulance

Tryna get someone to breathe at the scene of an accident

Covered in a stranger's blood and tryna bring 'em back again

Their stress level's always at a maximum

Thank you to the carpenters mechanics

And the welders and plumbers

Y'all are building all the roofs that we're under

Swingin' hammers in the pourin' rain the snow and the summer

I hope you know that I appreciate your struggle

Thank you to the nurses and doctors fighting for everyone's lives

Y'all don't always find a cure

But I believe that you try

The guilt is seein' someone who you tried to save die

Don't let it haunt you y'all bought 'em some time

And thank you to the priests

And the pastors and the grocery store clerks

The ones who don't get thanked or paid enough for their work

Probably feel disrespected and I'm sure that it hurts

But let me tell you y'all are heroes for sure

Everyday people

They know who they are they aren't superstars

And they don't fight evil

They gotta do their hours with no superpowers

Everyday people

Don't always save the world they don't get the girl

But y'all are heroes

Heroes

You don't need a mask and a cape

Don't lose sleep wonderin' if humanity's safe

Woah-oh oh woah-oh oh

And you don't gotta fly to the moon

Don't need x-ray sight to see the hero in you

Woah-oh oh woah-oh oh

Everyday people

They know who they are they aren't superstars

And they don't fight evil

They gotta do their hours with no superpowers

Everyday people

Don't always save the world they don't get the girl

But y'all are heroes
