Lyrics
All you fear, is fear its self
Check our your own back yard before you check out someone else
Railroad track, in my neighborhood
Ain't no trains around that part just ain't no good
Wanna know, what's going down
When the pimp on the corner looks like the sharpest cat in town
Jungle rule, can't be no fool
Might get caught by the hook of a crook no time for cool
Look out jay, what you say, what you carrying brother
I hope you're clean cause the man is mean
Don't come another further
We all know the answer
Will come out in time
I might even carry some of your load
Right along with mine
Thank you ma'am, mister please
Cause I must be Hercules
I must be Hercules
Like a bird
On the wing
I just wanna be free enough to do my thing
I can feel the pressure, from every side
If you ain't gonna help, don't hurt, just pass me by
Ohhhh
Oh, no
No no no
Hercules
I must be Hercules
Jungle rule, can't be no fool
Devil is on the loose, no coo
Got your feet, in the sand
Got to be down with the cats that around
And still got the face the man
Talk about me if you please but I must be Hercules
Hercules
I must be Hercules
Duckin' rocks, catchin' stones
Movin' how can I survive what's going on
Big steely borrow
Somehow I've got to make it till tomorrow
Can't depend, on no-one else
Comin' up the hard way I've got to save myself
Must be Hercules
I must be Hercules
Talk about me if you please
I must be hercules
