Rags to riches, star to addict, ya'll know how the story goes 

Around every corner and playground, there's someone that who could have had it all 

But for one reason or another, their path went somewhere other than a world calling their name  From A grade student to class A losers, what's happening with our kids today?

Poisoned by our own, can't sleep anymore, sister's work on corners, brothers keep on brawling' 

So just tell me how the story ends,

The question is where did it all begin?





Robin hood heroes 

Just a page in a fairytale, lifestyle of the ghetto They robin' hood heroes,

Goes on and on, goes on and on, goes on and on







They deal to the rich, give to the poor, only metres from my door 

Turning street legends to urban myth, from Rucker park all the way to Grey Lynn 

From what could of to never been, be the words in the song you sing 

Not with trumpets, instead with violins, while you dance by yourself, (So hooked) 

You can't see you need help, (So cooked) 

So it's back to the bro you go, 

It hurts, cause you could have had it all



Oh ooohhhhhhhhh 

You could have had it all





Robin hood heroes 

Just a page in a fairytale, lifestyle of the ghetto They robin' hood heroes,

Goes on and on, goes on and on, goes on and on





It goes on and on, it goes on and on
