CAPO: 3rd Fret for original key
[Verse 1]
GI'm aware that right now a lot of us feel like chips are down
Sick of bein' Bmkicked around, Thrown on the ground,
Picked Aright back up then tossed in the lost and Gfound
Stumblin', lost your ground but it sounds like a chance for you to recover quickly
BmIf you know anything about a struggle at all, the Ahustle is real, you probably already get me
GSo I need all of you with me, The Killer City committee, the Middi West Version
Of the AvengeBmrs goin' harder than Bobby and Whitney, The Aenemy's shifty, so we gotta react
GSwiftly, Whenever negativity hit me, I try to get it in check quickly
Came to Bmknow playing the role of a psycho is not gon' fAit me
Cause I'm not so fifty, but I do know Gthis
We all have the power, in every moment the time is ours
Counting Bmminutes, seconds, hours, Death to Acowards, fight the power
Smite the Glions, light the fires, Brighter, higher, ‘til we burn ‘em down
Bn n.c.
Take the tables that we turn around, It's worth the search if freedom's found (And you're a hero)
[Chorus]
What we need is a Ghero, Someone who's always strong
A Bmsource of light when Athings go wrong
What we need is a – Ghero, Who's always there to take flight
Who can Bmmend our wounds and deAfends our rights
What we need is a Ghero, Someone prepared to lead the way
Who can Bmbrave our world and Asave our day
GHero, who always knows what to do
SomeBmone like me, SomeAone like you
What we need is a Ghero
[Verse 2]
n.c.
I watch it all unfold, and then I take my chosen road
This one goes out to Bmeverybody livin' state to state, place to plAace, and coast to coast
They're rioting, committin' Gacts of violence that leave us divided, you can take your own control
Bmn.c.
The kids lookin' up to us for guidance, now they wanna try it, how were they supposed to know?
It's like we all wanna Gfly (Uh), nobody wanna phone on the line but
Sometimes you gotta swallow your pride and apologize
For Bmall of the time you were wrong and cauterized the Awounds that we harbor inside (Uh)
Ain't nobody Gperfect, we need to organize the community, stop living like Lord of the Fly
I know it might seem Bmhard, it's important to try to keep a light on and Acentered at the
core of your life, Go to war with a Gmic, Shoot 'em down with a peace sign
The system of control is an intelligent design, It need a second Blook, and many elements refined
We're lookin' for a Ahero that can help us defeat crime and settle the
GBeef, If you only throw a rock at police lined, you're really not a rebel to me
It isn't us vs. Bmthem, we all one, stand together in unity better than Alyin' dead in the street
A(And what we need is a hero)
[Chorus]
What we need is a Ghero, Someone who's always strong
A Bmsource of light when Athings go wrong
What we need is a – Ghero, Who's always there to take flight
Who can Bmmend our wounds and deAfends our rights
What we need is a Ghero, Someone prepared to lead the way
Who can Bmbrave our world and Asave our day
GHero, who always knows what to do
SomeBmone like me, SomeAone like you
What we need is a Ghero
[Bridge]
And this world is what you Bmmake it A(Oh yeah)
GIn the end we gonna Bmmake itA
[Chorus]
What we need is a Ghero, Someone who's always strong
A Bmsource of light when Athings go wrong
What we need is a – Ghero, Who's always there to take flight
Who can Bmmend our wounds and deAfends our rights
What we need is a Ghero, Someone prepared to lead the way
Who can Bmbrave our world and Asave our day
GHero, who always knows what to do
SomeBmone like me, SomeAone like you
What we need is a Ghero
