The Hero

from Escape Goats by Finn Martin

lyrics

Mat Lee! Ev-g! Listen...

In case you don’t know, my name is Mat Lee
crazy host with the most flows in the Valley
lucky you 406 is what I claim
even though I was born right outside of L.A.

I’m not a fan of California but i love the big sky
and I got sick beats and rhymes to make jigs fly
so don't reel up on me fishing for a compliment
cuz I’ll just nod my head and stare while zoning out off one hit

I got half my beats from the dert merchant
and the other half courtesy of ev-g’s fervent workings
on the mic I’m like a virgin purring
this perfect merger of words I’m inserting

so now you know I didn't come to fuck around
I just wanna spit a little rhyme and bump my sound
so if your down with Mat Lee give me a fist pound
a pound of weed and buy a CD so I can skip town

they call him the hero
fear level zero front line disappear-o
prime time session hijacker
I’m not a hero i’m just another white rapper

as the rain pours over this little spore of Satan
I'm the resident evil of this Umbrella Corporation
so you should save your paper
i got enough Google docs to ddos your latest caper

now can i please ask a favor?
i want y'all to chew on this like a now and later
why and how are there so many marijuana haters
haven’t good doctors published enough research papers?

everything's a conspiracy when your suspicious
of everyone's here say whether straight or fictitious
so take a sec out and picture this
the government lies to fit their fibs

I don’t wanna be the hero of this rap game
I just want a little taste of that fame
I’m happy to be here in the 406 rapping
to anyone that's happy to hear me rap my name is Mat Lee

they call him the hero
fear level zero
front line disappear-o

they call him the hero
watch him quick before he can hear you

the hero can hear you

and they call him the hero
rippin and rappin through your stereo he can hear you
he’s a weirdo
out of ammo with no fear of the past
and a career based on how big the splash

and so the moral of the story goes
Mat Lee will put a dampening on all your flows
when you listen to that shit then listen to this
I think its clear you’ll see who the winner is

they call him the hero
fear level zero front line disappear-o
they call him the hero
watch him quick before he can hear you

when i come through the door I'm hobbling wibble wobbling around
just a frown trying be the mayor of rap town
a little bit just to make you grin a bit when you visit this
magnificent mat’s rap pyramid

at the bottom that’s where the beat bumps
then going up from there you can hear the sweet stuff
I’m happy to be here in the 406 rapping
to anyone that's happy to hear me rap my name is Mat Lee
