Hero of Laredo
There ain't no Robin Hood
In the hood where I grew up
There wasn't much difference
Tween the law and the mob
Four decades old tomorrow
Born and still dirt poor
Side by side, love and war
With my junkies and the whores
On the streets of Laredo
Lights don't turn green for me
The crime and the poverty
Drove me to be mean
In the City Under Seven Flags
The rich, the poor, the good and bad
And those somewhere in between
The living and the dead
They all go down in Laredo
Nobody really cares about
All us on the border
If the bosses have their way
The poor will just get poorer
I rose up through the ranks
Till Coyotes trusted me
Good people might rise up
With a Robin Hood to lead
On the streets of Laredo
Lights don't turn green for me
The crime and the poverty
Drove me to be mean
In the City Under Seven Flags
The rich, the poor, the good and bad
And those somewhere in between
The living and the dead
They all go down in Laredo
Last chance to be a hero
Rob my bosses, I know how
Sell it back to them
Who's the bad guy now?
On the streets of Laredo
Lights don't turn green for me
The crime and the poverty
Drove me to be mean
In the City Under Seven Flags
The rich, the poor, the good and bad
And those somewhere in between
The living and the dead
They all go down
Cause there's no good Hero of Laredo
In the hood where I grew up
There wasn't much difference
Tween the law and the mob
Four decades old tomorrow
Born and still dirt poor
Side by side, love and war
With my junkies and the whores
On the streets of Laredo
Lights don't turn green for me
The crime and the poverty
Drove me to be mean
In the City Under Seven Flags
The rich, the poor, the good and bad
And those somewhere in between
The living and the dead
They all go down in Laredo
Nobody really cares about
All us on the border
If the bosses have their way
The poor will just get poorer
I rose up through the ranks
Till Coyotes trusted me
Good people might rise up
With a Robin Hood to lead
On the streets of Laredo
Lights don't turn green for me
The crime and the poverty
Drove me to be mean
In the City Under Seven Flags
The rich, the poor, the good and bad
And those somewhere in between
The living and the dead
They all go down in Laredo
Last chance to be a hero
Rob my bosses, I know how
Sell it back to them
Who's the bad guy now?
On the streets of Laredo
Lights don't turn green for me
The crime and the poverty
Drove me to be mean
In the City Under Seven Flags
The rich, the poor, the good and bad
And those somewhere in between
The living and the dead
They all go down
Cause there's no good Hero of Laredo
