Hometown Hero (I Ain't No) - Juiceboxxx

Hometown hero’s not what I am

They don’t give a fuck they don’t give a damn

People talk shit cuz I follow my dreams

Well I’ve been hearing that line since I was 15

From the start they didn’t want me around

Playing punk shows on the edge of town

In a basement I rage and throw down

But if I knew then what I know now

I got a lot of goals that I’ll probably never reach

I got a lot of shit that I really wanna see

But I don’t really know where to go or what to be

And it seems like everybody is picking on me

I play a show to like ten people every time

And I won’t stop until I motherfucking reach the line

I’m out of my mind but yo I feel fine

I’m out of my mind but yo I feel fine

(I ain’t no)

They say you change

What does it mean, it’s so strange

I still feel like a failure in my brain

Ego like a mic gets broken and deranged

Back on the road, I’m playing the long game

At home I’m on the couch

Fucked up thinking about another route

Can’t go back and I can’t get out

Mind on the grind yo there is no doubt

I was at a bar last night

Got a bunch of shit for my dreams and my life

From a punk rocker with a 9 to 5

And I just wanna stay alive

Then I went home and they cut the power out

I sat in the darkness and I started to shout

That’s the shit I hate yo

Hometown Hero man I ain’t no

(I ain’t no)

I’ll never be

I never was

They say you gotta get out when you’re young

But man I got nowhere to run

Living like I’m under the gun

And I’m not having any fun

They say you gotta get out when you’re young

But man I’m just fucking dumb

I feel so trapped but I gotta fight back

Keep working but it’s never done

Yeah, people like to talk but I pay no mind

I can’t even stop when I’m in the rhyme

I’ve seen teen dreams getting torn

In the same fucking town where they were born

And when they die

Man they don’t come back

When they die

You start to crack

And when they die man you’re never the same

You’re just a rustbelt creep on a downbound train

And oh my god man you’re going insane

You gotta start running just to ease the pain

But I can’t stop, I gotta go

Hometown hero man I ain’t no

I’ll never be

I never was

(I Ain’t No)

Hometown Hero

And I’ll Never Be
