The True Meaning Behind 'Voice Of The Heroes' By Lil Baby & Lil Durk

On "Voice of The Heroes," produced by TouchofTrent, Lil Baby and Lil Durk rap about their troubled past, going over their respective trials and tribulations. In the opening verse, for example, Durk opens up about missing out on some of his children's life due to being incarcerated. "Missed out on my kids life for a year and I gotta accept it." Shortly after, he raps about paying it forward by getting his friends out of jail. "And I paid like two of my n****s bonds before I bought a necklace."

Meanwhile, Baby compares himself to a hero, claiming that he's directing his friends towards a better path, while still remaining humble. "I showed all my ni***s in the trenches it's a better life / Never get too big for me to listen, I'll take your advice." The Atlanta rapper doubles down later in the verse, referring to Durk as the messenger. "Just keep on bein' the voice, I'll be the hero."

Durk seems to gladly accept the title, as heard on the song's hook: "I'm the voice, but Baby, he the hero." As fans will already know, this isn't the first time Durk has called himself that. In fact, the Chicago native released an album titled "The Voice" in 2020, which includes a track by the same name. In the song, he raps: "Became the voice of the streets and my people ain't believe in me" (via Genius).
