A Hero Dies Once Lyrics by Blueprint

Two-Headed Monster

2018

[Intro]
Yeah
You know
Uhuh
[Verse 1]
Only fools penalize anyone who thinks different
They demonize all the ideas and don't listen
Defeated paradigm, still push without thinking
So they can vandalize what the architect's building
While I strategize ways I can be the victor
They wanna glamorize ways they can be the victim
Being founded by but claiming that they hate the system
But never wonder why things never get different
They say we getting gentrified out the inner city
But can't nobody make you leave when you own a building
If we prioritize ownership, we could end it
But we distracted by racism and can't see it
So who'll sacrifice for the next generation
Who's prepared to die to execute their own vision
While y'all run and hide, I'll be in the front
'Cause a coward dies a thousand times, a hero dies once
[Verse 2]
Uh, nothing empowering in anything that they speaking
I see them paralyzed by the news and television
They overanalyze and normalize their own killings
Instead of changing themselves, they try to change the system
You been demonized, realize and then admit it
Sabotaged by your own and the opposition
Violent crimes once they took the fathers out the picture
Neighborhoods terrorized by their own children
We need to organize the neighborhoods that we live in
Keep the economics, leave all the politicians
Build a family so they don't have to build prisons
'Cause we can only change us, not racism
So who'll sacrifice for the next generation
Who's prepared to die to execute their own vision
While y'all run and hide, I'll be in the front
'Cause a coward dies a thousand times, a hero dies once
