Batman of the Burbs (BOTB)

Every success story has a hero, who are you in this narrative, as I overlook the city, I reflect on where I came from, you could never save the world if you can’t change one

As I observe

From the perch of a bird

I feel like Batman of the burbs

As I observe

From the perch of a bird

I feel like Batman of the burbs

As I observe

From the perch of a bird

I feel like Batman of the burbs

All a young brother want

Is to be free

Like a hawk on a

Branch at the edge of the tree

With a breath

Take a step and then leap

Praying that I don’t fall

Before I get to see me at my peak

Am I a Hawk or Batman with

A contingency plan

There’s no time sit around

Just kickin a can

Lemme get the dice rolling

I might throw a Bakugan

Take a step and see the points connect

Like Byakugan

Cause some shit

Don’t Make no sense

Patents on Gods water

But I need to live

Got as many dollar bills as I got

Bills

And the clock still ticks

On the time that I get

They say we livin in the days

Of return of the savior

But since the book was written

That’s what the people been sayin

I keep my eyes to the sky

And keep love for my neighbors

Just in case they ever needed

Someone to save em

Blunt is in my dental

Too much is on my mental

Feelin like I need to turn my brain in like a rental

Took a breath so I don’t pop off like a pimple

Thinkin to myself It Could All Be So Simple

Avoidin crashin out cuz I don’t wanna be a cymbal

Don’t wanna be a symbol

For someone who could’ve been somethin better

But he made the wrong move now his shirt is lookin Wetter

Twistas rollin through my city

**** run in circles

**** dyin daily and on time like it’s rehearsal Don’t matter if you numero Uno there’s no reversal

Life will molly whop yo ass until your face is purple

Carry on Wayward Son bumpin in the hooptie

I put that on the band I was playin with in school

Even if you got the tools and you don’t know the rules

Within yourself it’s always gonna be a fuckin duel

As I observe

From the perch of a bird

Overlook the city from the rooftop

Heard a **** put it on his soul like a new sock

Seen em Up the stick on cue like it was a pool shot

Got his pot crocked made it his mama need to woosah

She tell the crowd chill with all the hooplah

Law abiding citizen I’m feeling like a Dubois

My thoughts is out of line I’m just tryna think straight

Even in the burbs you gotta try to keep the street safe

It’s common sense to pay it forward if you want a rebate

You ain’t gotta draw no blood to see that we could relate

Race against the clock treat this life shit like a relay

Don’t you shoot the messenger just listen when I relay

(aye)
