D.Ford - False Idols lyrics

You want a hero I can play the part You're not getting money if you pay to park Haven't made it far, but I made a start Cuz I'm attending school that's state of the art Kid's talk about how they're looking up to me Saying that they're living vicariously through me But.. if they really knew me They'd be asking who's the true me I'm not the right guy to be a role model They should go back to the old model I hope their expectations don't get toppled But the truth is getting bottled I mean I don't get good grades or good pay And I've done things that I shouldn't say But I'm still me at the end of the day I mean they've made an image To me it's just a gimmick I've been put on the spot light and it won't diminish I've had my 15 minutes that I never deserved Yet I'm never the worst kid to be raised since birth So I want to send a positive message Make sure they pa** life's lessons So they get all of their credits Maybe they learn from my mistakes But how many mistakes does it really take? I wonder how many of these kids will be real and who will be fake I know all of them has what it takes to be really great
