no capo![verse (1)]
Bmthere's too many songs 'bout diamond teeth and gold chains
too many Bmrappers who still glorify gangs
there's way too many Drhymes about codeine and women we like to bang
i just Awanted to make a song to say thanks
thank you to the Bmcops who really tryna make the world a better place
riskin' they Bmlives to keep a man they never even met safe
they ain't Dtryna kill your kids or lock their father away
they got Afamilies who need food on they plates
and thank you to the Bmfirefighters, whenever i hear sirens, i pray
it takes a Bmspecial kind of man to run toward all the flames
when we see sDmoke and we need help, the fire can't be contained
they runAnin' in while everybody runs away
and thank you to the Bmsoldiers fightin' for us, flyin' way overseas
ain't never Bmmet you, but i love you 'cause you're dyin' for me
i'm enDjoyin' my freedom, and i know freedom ain't free
when the Aanthem plays, i don't take a knee
and thank you to the Bmtruckers, the janitors, and the average people
the Bmones holdin' the jobs that will damage your ego
the Dones who do the most and in return they get zero
screw what Aanyone says, y'all are heroes
[chorus]
everyday Empeople
they know who they Dare, they aren't superstars
and they don't fight Emevil
they gotta do their Dhours with no superpowers
everyday Empeople
don't always save the Dworld, they don't get the girl
but y'all are Emheroes
Gheroes
[verse (2)]
too many Bmsongs about xanax and faces covered with tattoos
and Bmway too many asses on camera wit' rap dudes
too Dmuch gucci, louis, prada clothin' tryin' to brand you
i Ajust wanted to make a song to say thank you
thank you to the Bmparamedics comin' at high speed in an ambulance
tryna Bmget someone to breathe at the scene of an accident
Dcovered in a stranger's blood and tryna bring 'em back again
their Astress level's always at a maximum
thank you to the Bmcarpenters, mechanics, and the welders and plumbers
y'all are Bmbuilding all the roofs that we're under
swingin' Dhammers in the pourin' rain, the snow, and the summer
i hope you kAnow that i appreciate your struggle
thank you to the Bmnurses and doctors fighting for everyone's lives
y'all don't Bmalways find a cure, but i believe that you try
the Dguilt is seein' someone who you tried to save die
don't let it Ahaunt you, y'all bought 'em some time
and thank you to the Bmpriests and the pastors and the grocery store clerks
the Bmones who don't get thanked or paid enough for their work
probably Dfeel disrespected and i'm sure that it hurts
but let me Atell you, y'all are heroes for sure
[chorus]
everyday Empeople
they know who they Dare, they aren't superstars
and they don't fight Emevil
they gotta do their Dhours with no superpowers
everyday Empeople
don't always save the Dworld, they don't get the girl
but y'all are Emheroes
Gheroes
[verse (3)]
Bm you don't need a mask and a cape, don't lose sleep wonderin' if humanity's safe
woah-Aoh, oh, woah-oh, oh
Bm and you don't gotta fly to the moon, don't need x-ray sight to see the hero in you
woah-Aoh, oh, woah-oh, oh
[chorus]
everyday Empeople
they know who they Dare, they aren't superstars
and they don't fight Emevil
they gotta do their Dhours with no superpowers
everyday Empeople
don't always save the Dworld, they don't get the girl
but y'all are Emheroes
Gheroes
