about

This track for me is what I would tell my younger self if I could go back in time.
“Revel in all the fun you have now, be you, and just work hard.”
Here I end up giving my past and present self advice really.

lyrics

BYOH (Be Your Own Hero)
Lemon-tree sprouted in the backyards next to glass shards
Paddles ball  with table tennis on reservoirs
Hanging with the neighbors playing catcher
and whot cards make them pick some 3s yelling I dash ya
Child
Its sorta never easy is it
Never one to play too well with others sorta different
You been broken before and put back together splintered
master of shit they never thought to you would be apparent
Knocked down once a bit to many times
Gotten back to put the metal to the grind
Don’t just talk about it 
I mean be about it you will shine
Looking to familiar facial features mirrored back in kind
Don’t  don’t lose you
Be your own hero
Grab a cape or grab a hat put on a mask too
Bet ya you look nice rocking some spandex yeah
The rustling of wind in motion as you fly through air
Dust off the what’d they say about me
Gosh I hope they understand me
Steady tryna build something up for the future for the family
Dreaming in my jammies
Writing up the speech for future Grammys
With the pen down on some paper
Tryna be as brave as grammy
Was 
Pictures of landscapes and backdoors
Ring around the roses spelling HAPPY on the see-saw
Easy
things don’t ever seem to get so easy does it
Easy doesn't
Make you great you learn from your mistakes
in dozens
