🎺 INTRO — (Mex OT — LOUD, CHAOTIC, TEXAS)
(AYYY— YEAH— HOL’ UP, HOL’ UP!)
They don’t know if I’m ‘boutta save shit
or spray shit,
Either way, when I pop out, everybody sayin’ I’m they favorite.
Hell nah—
I ain’t no angel, ain’t no demon, bitch I’m both, I’m in the middle,
I’m the reason half these people breathin’
AND the reason some went missin’.
(HAHAHA!)

🔥 HOOK — (Lil Tecca — melodic, floaty, catchy)
How the hell I’m the villain when I’m tryna make it right? (yeah-yeah)
How the hell I’m the hero when I barely sleep at night? (ya-ya)
I been holdin’ up they city but they only see the fights,
They don’t see the pain I’m livin’, they just clip it for the likes.
Tell me who I’m s’posed to be then… (yeah)
Every win feel like a sin then… (ya)
They don’t know the shit I’m in, man…
I’m the hero and the villain.

🥀 VERSE 1 — (MSD Bando — dark, cold, emotional truth)
Look…
Whole life been violence, so my kindness always look crooked,
Try to save somebody kid, but they judge me off the footage.
I been holdin’ all these memories that never threw a punch,
But they still hit harder than the bullets that been chasin’ us.
I done buried half my brothers, I’m still losin’ in my sleep,
Tryna build a better life but trauma drag me by my feet.
Say I’m heartless ‘cause I shut down — bitch, I shut down just to cope,
If you seen the shit I seen you’d lose your halo, lose your hope.
If bein’ real make me the villain I accept the role they gave,
If bein’ strong make me the hero then respect the shit I saved.
I ain’t bendin’, I ain’t breakin’, I ain’t switchin’ out for shit—
I’m the storm and I’m the shelter, I’m the fallout AND the fix.

💥 VERSE 2 — (Mex OT — aggressive, hype, Texas demon mode)
(AHHH-HAA!! LET’S GO!)
Kickin’ doors down, but I’m feedin’ every fuckin’ cousin,
Police paint me like a problem but the hood know I’m the one that run it.
I done gave out more plates than half these “good guys” ever touched,
I done held down more kids than whole departments ever hugged.
How the fuck I’m the menace when I’m payin’ granny bills?
How the fuck I’m the villain when I’m stoppin’ all they kills?
They don’t know the shit I risk just tryna keep my people safe,
But they quick to call me evil when they see me wearin’ braids.
I’m the pressure AND protection, I’m the line they shouldn’t cross,
I’m the hope when they got nothin’, I’m the demon when I’m lost.
Tell ‘em miss me with that bullshit— I’m the truth in every lane,
I’m the hero AND the villain — bitch, that balance in my veins.

🌈 VERSE 3 — (Lil Tecca — smooth, melodic, youthful bounce)
(yeah-yeah)
I been tryna mind my business but this world keep pullin’ me in,
They don’t care about the reason, they just judge me how I win.
See the chains, see the money, they don’t see the shit I’m fightin’,
They don’t see I’m tryin’ hard just not to end up like my rivals.
I got people I’m protectin’, I got people tryna slide,
I got angels on my shoulder and some demons in my mind.
