Yeah (up in the sky) (It's a bird, it's a plane) Hmm, sound like some superhero shit Some Black superhero shit Hmm, damn Oh yeah Every block, every hood Every city, every ghetto Need a Black superhero Every block, every hood Every city, every ghetto Need a Black superhero You need a nigga roll like me Military mind stated and I keep a gun and a degree You can label me a Huey P Made a martyr outta Martin, outta Malcolm, outta Medgar I refuse to let these dirty devils make my Gullah beggar F*ck a hero see oh I will go make heed oh for my people Give me liberty or death that is my credo not my ego Dressed in a tuxedo, enter party, altar ego Killed your need of it, gazebo, did it for the people Love what motivated, I did not do it for hatred But I truly hate the devil I cannot debate or fake it I was asked a question and I asked about it hard If I was facing death then I could ask one thing of God I would ask for every nigga to be free here and abroad And to be rightfully celebrated as a child of God And to be rightfully celebrated as a child of God (as a child of God) Every block, every hood Every city, every ghetto Need a Black superhero Every block, every hood Every city, every ghetto Need a Black superhero Our own kind took Nip from us Money still read "in God we trust" Truthfully we envy, so why we so envious And why our own kind envy us? Pop said it's hard but we gotta keep our head up Goin' even though we know we fed up It's hella tension 'Cause we ain't careful where we all pay attention I need all my real soldiers on the front line Fighting for the right shit just one time So unstoppable together at the same time, with the same mind Yeah, we wanna be high and always above what's beneath us, so Every block, every hood Every city, every ghetto Need a Black superhero Every block, every hood Every city, every ghetto Need a Black superhero I'm talking bulletproof kinda suit Reflect the struggle that they put us through With a shrimp To fight the power like Chaldea do With the insight to be equal Know the sky need it, a voice that finds reason To multiply people in the streets full of calls Marching on Washington, might as well be walking through walls Type of superhero show up with ain't no one to call That'll shield ya from them shields that been killing us all High beams for eyes to peep the villains in the dark Power of resolution 'fore a war was even started The knowledge to build and grow where they live And take care of the kids and the older folk The queens cause they need it most Politic with the kings about economic growth Kill PTSD, 'cause mental health ain't a joke Feed the hungry, and though, everyone would know everywhere we go Every block, every hood Every city, every ghetto Need a Black superhero Every block, every hood Every city, every ghetto Need a Black superhero It's gon' take one of us to save us It's gon' take love and a lot of trust We just took it, have faith and know that Long as you got mine, I got your back, I know It's gon' take one of us to save us It's gon' take love and a lot of trust We just took it, have faith and know that Long as you got mine, I got your back, I know Every block, every hood Every city, every ghetto Need a Black superhero (need a Black superhero) You know, just, just the idea of how Black men In this culture and society get framed And how everything possible is actually designed To actually diminish what your true power is, right? And so, when you speak about the superhero-ness of our communities Every ghetto, every block, every street corner Really, all of those men are God They're just living in a reality that tears them down And makes them feels as though they're not what they actually are 'Cause they know it when they look in the mirror The female take on it You know, it's on some levels, it's a little more heartbreaking, right? Because, like, we've created this reality That walks away from us being clear About the fact that the Black woman is actually The goddess on this planet (absolutely) The mitochondrial information that's requisite To create every type of man That exists on this planet is derivative of hers (absolutely) Right? So, we actually have to sit there figuring out Which being on this planet actually constitutes God? And that term, if we're framing it in that way The actual living God on this planet The only direction you can point in is the direction of the Black woman Firstly like, us as an extension of her, but firstly her, right? Because none of it exists without her
