[Intro] Rain on the mask Blood on my hands City don't sleep So I don't stand still (nah) [Verse 1] Red on the suit But the heart still black Every swing that I take Got a past on my back Uncle in the grave Mama in the frame Every headline scream But they curse my name Hang from a ledge While my mind unravels Every joke that I crack Hide a thousand battles Enemies outside Inner ones louder Pray to the sky But the sky just showers Who save the savior When his hands shake Who hold the web When the strands break I stitch my scars To these rooftops If I ever fall Then the world drop (skrrt) [Chorus] I carry the weight of the city on a thin strand Whole world pulling on a promise that I can't slam If I let go, who gon' catch ‘em when they all fall So I hold tight, bleed quiet, gotta stand tall (stand tall) Got a mask on my face, but I'm see-through Every bruise, every blame, yeah, I feel you (feel you) In the dark I remember what he said to me: "With the power that you got, boy, you better be" (better be) Better be a hero [Verse 2] Talk tough, but the fear talk louder (yeah) Heart race when I see that tower Too high, but the ghosts climb higher Voices in my head set fires, like: "You ain't nothing but a glitch in the script One wrong move and the whole block ripped" Still, I jump first, never look down Turn my panic into patterns when I cross town Every villain just a mirror that I can't dodge See the same rage that I locked in my garage Every time I web ‘em to the cold brick wall Feel my own sins sticking, trying to crawl Got friends that I lost to the life I picked Love that I left so the clock don't tick Can't save us both, so I cut those threads Now my heart just swing with the empty webs (uh) [Chorus] I carry the weight of the city on a thin strand Whole world pulling on a promise that I can't slam If I let go, who gon' catch ‘em when they all fall So I hold tight, bleed quiet, gotta stand tall (stand tall) Got a mask on my face, but I'm see-through Every bruise, every blame, yeah, I feel you (feel you) In the dark I remember what he said to me: "With the power that you got, boy, you better be" (better be) Better be a hero [Bridge] Rain in my ears, sirens sing my name (my name) Every choice cut deep like a spider vein If I save you, I might lose me If I save me, you might lose peace So I run into the rage and the red mist (go) Heart heavy but the grip never slip (never) If my back hit the ground and my lungs give Let ‘em carve on my stone what I once did: [Chorus] "I carried the weight of the city on a thin strand Whole world pulling on a promise that I can't slam I ain't let go, I was there when they would all fall Held ‘em up, bled quiet, I was that wall" (that wall) Got a mask on my face, but I'm see-through Every bruise, every blame, yeah, I feel you (yeah) In the dark I remember what he said to me: "With the power that you got, boy, you better be" (better be) Better be a hero (hero) Better be a hero (yuh)
