Black Superhero Lyrics
[Intro]
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
[Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid]
Every block, every hood, every city, every ghetto
Need a black superhero
Every block, every hood, every city, every ghetto
Need a black superhero
[Verse 1: Killer Mike]
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, out a nigga
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)
[Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid]
Every block, every hood, every city, every ghetto
Need a black superhero
Every block, every hood, every city, every ghetto
Need a black superhero
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid]
Every block, every hood, every city, every ghetto
Need a black superhero
Every block, every hood, every city, every ghetto
Need a black superhero
