Fresh off the victory. Baby, I’m back home.

Got you that autograph you watned from Blackbolt

Wudn’t on the front line for the initial burst of flames

Cap had me assigned to the 3^rd wave

But I’m back. Surprised I’m alive as I.

Mom wants me to hang up the uniform tonight

And get a job not riskin’ my life and takin’ flight

Outside of the troposphere. Eh, we’ll get it right.

Someday, but right now I’m takin’ a deep breath

Gonna watch time go by on a park bench

People watchin; it’s so underrated

When you go from a Skrull Invasion to facin’ eradication

Major lazers aimin’ at your safe haven

Raisin’ Hades on earth, thinkin’ what in the blue blazes

Is next these days. You don’t wanna know

In the meantime, enjoy the after-glow!

CHORUS
But heroes eventually die

I heard her cry

Just before I closed the door

And exited the light

Love is easy

when it’s worth it

But feels like without it

You’d be worldless

But most these motherfuckers don’t deserve the planet

Passionate for nothin’ that they do

Pose it out

I am what I am

I’ma do me

I’m goin’ in

Try and stop me

-

I felt it comin’ before the sky turned purple

Before Attilan was floatin’ above the borough

Secrets go full circle

And there was always somethin’ about Reed Richards that made my blood plasma curdle

An illusion producin’ illusions

We were walkin’ wounded before we even knew it

Spoon fed delusions while the end was nigh

My anger management counselor tried to convince me to go hero-for-hire

Shit. I’d rather apply at the Hand

But instead I got coffee in Chelsea with Danny Rand

Homie told me anything can happen, have a plan

And if you follow someone’s lead, follow Cap over any man.

Wudn’t a fan, but Danny meant what he said

I wouldn’t trust anyone if I couldn’t trust him

The dude protectin’ the streets while the city that never sleeps slept

Suited up, homie. I’m goin’ in.

CHORUS

-

The hood, the rad, the lovely

Before I left, it was the drunk & restless ‘til it got ugly

Freelancin’ mercenary D-Grade work

Leg breakin’ for bookies, tryin’ to hit the pay dirt

Paychecks went to Jameson, half-hazard

Drank faster than my healin’ factor could factor.

Flyin’ thru the night sky with no purpose at all

It never felt so free to be at no one’s beck and call

I thought about leavin’- y’know- for good.

Find a new solar system with a sun. I looked

But couldn’t help but think about Sakaar and Titan

How every last one of those species went down fightin’

For a piece of breathable land to roam

For a rock floatin’ in space they call home

And then I thought about you

‘Nuff said, you know where I’m goin’
