[Verse 1]
Hero and villain on the same old map
Two sides sharing one name tag
Gold tooth grin and a rusted badge
Same coin spinning in a gambler’s hand (uh)
Pirate with a parrot and a crooked laugh
Guard on the dock tryna check that raft
“Who you?” “Who cares?” they both talk fast
They both need trouble just to have that task (yeah)
[Chorus]
Good needs trouble just to shine that bright
Can’t crown a champ if there’s never a fight
No locked door, then there’s no key light
You made a problem just to make a savior, right? (hey!)
Good needs trouble, that’s the way we learn
Can’t save a bridge if it doesn’t burn
Twist that plot, let the tables turn
You made a problem just to make a savior, right?
[Verse 2]
Knight in armor, clumsy on his feet
Trips on a stone, sees a thief in the street
Thief yells “run!” as the flames all leap
Now who saved who when the roof got weak? (ha!)
Halo, horns, they trade each day
Saint makes mistakes, crook might pray
Cartoon chaos in a hallway chase
But the story needs both just to find a way (yeah yeah)
[Bridge]
If you write the riddle, you choose the key
If you build the cage, you can set ’em free (set ’em free)
Draw the dragon, then draw the sword
You made the mess, now you’re crowned “my lord” (my lord)
[Chorus]
Good needs trouble just to shine that bright
Can’t crown a champ if there’s never a fight
No locked door, then there’s no key light
You made a problem just to make a savior, right? (oh!)
Good needs trouble, that’s the way we learn
Can’t save a bridge if it doesn’t burn
Twist that plot, let the tables turn
You made a problem just to make a savior, right?
