Jacob Cass - GOAT (feat. Amy Si) Lyrics

I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero.
And they found you amusing for a while; the people of this city.
But the one thing they love more than a hero; is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying.
In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you.
Why bother?

Tobey Macguire, got bit by a spider, but see, me? It was a goat.
Tobey Macguire, got bit by a spider, but see, me? It was a goat.
Tobey Macguire, got bit by a spider, but see, me? It was a goat.
Tobey Macguire, got bit by a spider, but see, me? It was a goat.
I'm the goat, get ready for war.
I'm the goat, get ready for war.

I said Tobey Macguire got bit by a spider, well I'm Andrew Garfield in this bitch.
I ball like Chris Paul with my wrist, I ball like Rick Ross on my wrist.
Like real shit, I lost life to this. Matter of fact, I had lost the love of my life to this.
Is it pointless that I go and fight for this? Is it pointless if I lose life to this?
So they think that cause you a hero, we don't need saving,
But I shake in my dreams like it's Wes Craven.
Man, I'm deep underneath, I'm in bed shaking.
Losing ones that I love, wanna trade places.
I'm a hero for you, not a hero for me,
And I'm still not the hero a hero should be,
Man I'm still not the hero y'all framed me to be,
But I hide it so they can have hope underneath.

They wanna be a hero, take the fame with it?
But they don't wanna talk about the pain with it.
Bold claim, innit?
See, if life is a street, I ain't never looking both ways with it.
So I just get in and go.
They wanna be me, but everything that glitter ain't gold.
This feelin' will never get old.
Smiles on the faces of people will light up my soul.
I take down my enemies,
Harness my energy,
Still standing tall if they try to belittle me.
Giving the world something that they will never see.
Showing the haters someone they will never be.
You cannot better me, I got my family,
We got a different type of that synergy,
We got a different type of identity,
"With great power comes great...", ya know!

Tobey Macguire, got bit by a spider, but see, me? It was a goat.
Tobey Macguire, got bit by a spider, but see, me? It was a goat.
I'm the goat, get ready for war.
I'm the goat, get ready for war.
I'm the goat.

When I put the mask on, I can hide the face of my demons.
I can forget about all of my own problems so I swing around town on the weekend.
On the strong end, I'll be doing better,
But it's temporary on the weak-end,
'Cause I'm fightin' villains in my waking life,
Then I'm fighting villains when I'm sleeping.
There's never an ending to this, it's the life I chose.
So when I stand, man, I stand ten toes.
Man, I been stuck in a never-ending fight, with my life,
So I ain't never been worried about "foes".
See, I ain't never worried about "him".
And I would never ever worry about "them".
See, I worry 'bout the pain in my chest,
Man my heart been stressed like, "When will this end?"
I look at the note that he gave me.
He never will see how that saved me.
He told me to "never change",
So I never change,
Y'all can cry like a baby.
So I'ma go and save my folks,
And redeem my life in the name I wrote.
When I think it, you know I'ma say that joke,
Cause these sensitive hoes can't tame my hope.
I used to search for love, till I finally found it.
I used to think I would fall, but I finally doubt it.
I used to think a superhero was a man with a mask...
But I think a superhero is a man without it...

Tobey Macguire, got bit by a spider, but see, me? It was a goat. (Man, I be the goat, yeah.)
Tobey Macguire, got bit by a spider, but see, me? It was a goat. (We gon' aim at they throat, yeah.)
I'm the goat, get ready for war. (We ready for war!)
I'm the goat, get ready for war.
(We ready! We ready! Let's go!)
I'm the goat.

I'm the goat.
