Robbin Hood Heroes
Rags to riches / Star to addict / Ya’ll know how the story goes / Around every corner and playground / There’s someone that who could have had it all / But for one reason or another/ Their path went somewhere / Other than a world calling their name / From A grade student/ To Class A users / What’s happening with our kids today?/ Poisoned by our own / Can’t sleep anymore / Sister’s work in quarters / Brothers keep on brawling’ / So just tell me how the story ends / The question is where did it all begin
[Chorus:]
Robin hood heroes / Just a page in a fairytale lifestyle of the ghetto / They robin’ hood heroes / Goes on and on, Goes on and on
[Verse:]
They deal to the rich / Give to the poor / Only metres from my door / Turning street legends to urban myth / From Rucker park all the way to Grey Lynn / From what could of to never been/ Be the words in the song you sing / Not with trumpets instead with violins / While you dance by yourself / So hooked / You can’t see you need help / So cooked / So its back to the bro you go / It hurts, cause you could have had it all
[Repeat Chorus]
[Chorus:]
Robin hood heroes / Just a page in a fairytale lifestyle of the ghetto / They robin’ hood heroes / Goes on and on, Goes on and on
[Verse:]
They deal to the rich / Give to the poor / Only metres from my door / Turning street legends to urban myth / From Rucker park all the way to Grey Lynn / From what could of to never been/ Be the words in the song you sing / Not with trumpets instead with violins / While you dance by yourself / So hooked / You can’t see you need help / So cooked / So its back to the bro you go / It hurts, cause you could have had it all
