Hero's Journey (feat. WongTune$)

I know you think that this is for you, but it's not
There's triumph on the other side of your trauma
Joseph had to be sold into slavery to get into a position to help his family
And Jesus had to die so that we'd have a shot at eternal life.

Yea, look umm
Sorry fi cut you but I don't
This isn't hel
This isn't working for me

Wait, what's that?
What do you mean?

Yo mi know, mi know say you ah try be inspirational and all but like none of this Bible stuff not working for me
I can't relate to this

Hmmm
Ok, alright
Are you familiar with DC comics? Superman? Batman type stuff?

Dawg! Of course!
Yo who no know Superman and Batman?

Well both Bruce and Kal El had to experience severe trauma in order to become the Batman and Superman

Like how many lives were saved because Bruce lost his parents?

And if Kal El had stayed on Krypton, he would just grow up to lead a regular life.

Is that what you want for you?

There's a version of you on the other side that you'll never get to with just sunny skies in view (facts facts facts)
Dark clouds plus inconvenience and God's grace are the main ingredients (Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah)

Can't spell opportunities without opps
Without obstacles you might try to do life without God
And without God, life is a death sentence, that there is a big old trap
Bro all of my music is soul food
There's purpose behind what you going through
But what do I know? I'm just a brother that's handling paper and spit out facts

I been hearing that rough seas make skilled sailors
Many rough seasons but there's much more to learn in failure than in success (facts)
And success can still feel good without much failure just much less (facts)

I know you never wanted, let alone started the fight
I know you wanna throw in the towel and call it a night
But what if I told you that there was a version of you that was destined to shake up the world?
If you knew you were not just a regular person

You no waan see wha dat look like?
The version of you that young, impressionable boys and girls wanna look like?
Shutting it down on a bad night and you doing so much better on a good night

You no waan see wha dat look like?
Where even if you took that L in a fight everybody acknowledges a good fight?

You no waan see wha dat look like?
You no waan fi see dat uh
Fi see dat smile on di face of the Most High and hear "job well done"?
You can finally sit back, knowing that you did that

There's a version of you on the other side
That you'll never get to with just sunny skies
It's so powerful you wouldn't recognize it was you

Yute!
There's a version of you in the future
Wounded healer, I feel it'll suit ya
But it's all based on how you maneuver
Choose your wayyyyy
Villain, victim or hero, or trooper
Many called but you know even fewer
Get the message or answer man don't be swayyyed

By the optics
What you see is real, but they cropped it
That negativity toxic
Was intended to kill you but plot twist was at your wit's end, now you witness
And you get through cause you lived it
Help em get through, that's the business
See a setback's a setup for victories

I know you never wanted, let alone started the fight (I know)
And I know you wanna throw in the towel and call it a night (yea, I know)
But what if I told you that there was a version of you that was destined to shake up the world?
You are so much more than a regular person

You no waan see wha dat look like?
The version of you that young, impressionable boys and girls wanna look like?
Shutting it down on a bad night and you doing so much more on a good night

You no waan see wha dat look like?
Where even if you took that L in a fight everybody acknowledges a good fight?

You no waan see wha dat look like?
You no waan fi see dat uh
Fi see dat smile on di face of the Most High and hear "job well done" and finally sit back, knowing that you did that?

There's a version of you on the other side
That you'll never get to with just sunny skies
It's so powerful you wouldn't recognize it was you

You wouldn't recognize (huh)

You wouldn't recognize

You wouldn't recognize

Recognize

Recognize

It was you
