Tom MacDonald - Heroes lyrics

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 hеar sirens, i pray
It takes a special kind of man
To run toward all thе 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
Heroes
