about

This song is about One Punch Man

Also kind of about imposter syndrome. Like, you can go out and one punch any monster but still feel like you don't really belong in S Rank. Hay it's a metaphor, but almost like the citizens are your doubts and Genos is the part of you that knows you're the best but you never listen to it. Self-doubts can easily outnumber your self-esteemz.

lyrics

Just another morning
Just trying to get by and finding every warning I wanna feel the ceiling will I ever reach it
I wanna see the best but I don't need to be it

Just be defeated

  My determination
My duty to the city and association
I wanna be a hero City Z could see it
I wanna show the world that I have not retreated

But am I needed?

They've always worked it out before me
And I don't need glory

 But do I need to be a hero they believe in
It's just a rank to me, I do it every day  I'll be on patrol seeking untold enemies Who can take a punch, not get hit once and retreat
Even if I could not like they would ever see
That I'm a hero

  Turning back and forth in my mind more every day
Will I have to force it, abhor chores anyway
Or restore a source I adored for any day
Toward a doorway But have I seen the end
 I could be living life boring and typical but what would I give to get difficult
I could be living life stupid and typical but what would I give to get difficult

I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions. I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over. Take a bow, Mega Ran. platinumazure
