Rush – Nobody’s Hero Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I knew he was different in his sexuality
I went to his parties as a straight minority
It never seemed a threat to my masculinity
He only introduced me to a wider …
[Verse 1]
I knew he was different in his sexuality
I went to his parties as a straight minority
It never seemed a threat to my masculinity
He only introduced me to a wider …
[Verse 1]
I rest my case sophisticated
Reckless like I promised
And I had it, then I managed
And you talked me through it
Baby, do it
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you saved me
Then you made me rich and …
[Chorus: Q-Tip & Cordae]
When I think it’s all she wrote, looking through my holy quotes
Looking for the antidote, and I think I’ve found that it’s life
Life, my nigga, it’s life, …
[Intro]
Yeah, uh
Hey, yo
Alright
[Verse 1]
My mom had a nigga at the age of fifteen
Was forced to drop out of school to take care of a king
She had a desire to sing …
[Intro]
Maybe when I’m, maybe when I’m na-na-na, na-na
Maybe when I’m, maybe when I’m, maybe when I’m older
[Verse 1]
Payphone calls, cigarettes, injuries, shower sex
I was holding on for dear life
Complicated, understated, …
Saturday morning jumped out of bed and put on my best suit1
Got in my car and raced like a jet,2 all the way to you3
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand4
To ask you a question
‘Cause I know that you’re an old fashioned man5 yeah yeah
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?6 (Say yes, say yes)
‘Cause I need to know
You say I’ll never get your blessing till the day I die7
Tough luck my friend but the answer is no!
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don’t you know I’m human too8
Why you gotta be so rude?
I’m gonna marry her anyway9
(Marry that girl) Marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) Yeah no matter what you say
(Marry that girl) And we’ll be a family10
Why you gotta be so rude
I hate to do this, you leave no choice11
I can’t live without her
Love me or hate me we will be boys12
Standing at that alter
Or we will run away
To another galaxy13 you know
You know she’s in love with me
She will go anywhere I go
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life? (Say yes, say yes)
‘Cause I need to know
You say I’ll never get your blessing till the day I die
Tough luck my friend cause the answer’s still no!
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don’t you know I’m human too
Why you gotta be so rude
I’m gonna marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) Marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) Yeah no matter what you say
(Marry that girl) And we’ll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude?
Rude
Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life? (Say yes, say yes)
‘Cause I need to know
You say I’ll never get your blessing till the day I die
Tough luck my friend but no still means no!
Why you gotta be so rude?
Don’t you know I’m human too
Why you gotta be so rude
I’m gonna marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) Marry her anyway
(Marry that girl) Yeah no matter what you say
(Marry that girl) And we’ll be a family
Why you gotta be so rude? (Yeah, oh)
Why you gotta be so rude? (Yeah)
Why you gotta be so rude?14
MAGIC! opens the song, unveiling details about a young man who is preparing himself to formally ask his girlfriend’s father for her hand in marriage. The suit symbolizes the fact that this is a formality not to be taken lightly.
“Raced like a jet” means that he is excited to propose to his girlfriend.
“You” is the girl’s father.
“Heart in my hand” means that the young man had no intentions of hiding his decisions or emotions.
A father requiring his daughter’s suitors to ask for her hand in marriage is now considered an old-fashioned thing, a practice that is now fading away.
This is the question that the young man asks his girlfriend’s father.
This means the father of the young man’s girlfriend has rejected the boy’s interest in his daughter.
“I’m human too” means “I have feelings and should be handle with care.”
At this point in the song, MAGIC! reveals that the boy will go ahead and marry his girlfriend even if he father is unapproving.
All of the lyrics indicate that the boy has no intentions to postpone his dreams and his life with his girlfriend.
“I hate to do this, you leave no choice” means that the young man doesn’t intend to upset the girlfriend’s father, but his top priority is pursuing marriage with his girlfriend.
“We will be boys” means that the boy won’t repress his interests just to appease his girlfriend’s father.
“Another galaxy” is a metaphor for a distant place.
The point of this song is that the young man has placed blame on his girlfriend’s father for being stubborn about their relationship.
