Amie-Lea Kuti-King Poet I do not know?

Heros and Heroin

Heros and ..... heroin 

What do u do 
If the person u look up to 
Is a crumpled mess on the floor 

What do u do 
If the person u look up to 
Doesn't do anything worth looking up to them for 

They say "my dads my hero" or "my mums the hero for me" 

Well.. my dad threw my mum against the tv 
But she stood back up, so she's a hero too 
But also a heroin, I guess u are what u do 

Heroin to get her high and crack to bring her back 
Back to just the same old crap 
That's she's desperate to escape so she smokes again 
And again and again and again and again 

So my hero has descended right down to the gutter 
But I know deep down that's just isn't her 

So my hero is being heroin for now 
But without a cape just a wrap of brown 

I do have faith once more she will rise 
And be that hero again in my eyes
