| You know, yeah
|
| Always wanted to have super powers
|
| You know, uh
|
| This for my people, tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful
|
| So hard to survive a world so lethal
|
| Who will take a stand and be our hero, of my people, yeah?
|
| This for my people
|
| Tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful
|
| So hard to survive a world so lethal
|
| Who will take a stand and be our hero?
|
| Uh, now all heroes don’t wear capes
|
| And all villains don’t get away
|
| But all limits eventually fade
|
| I don’t wanna be good, nigga, I’m tryna be great
|
| It’s hard when your back’s against the wall
|
| And if you got it all to keep your feet up on the floor
|
| So I thank the Lord when I wake up in the morn'
|
| 'Cause to inform the world the very reason I was born
|
| You can see the power when the mic is in my palm
|
| When I storm across the room, hit the stage and perform
|
| Word is bond, don’t be alarmed
|
| Don’t let me have to sound the horn, and drop a bomb
|
| Wanna get my mom a crib, with a lawn
|
| Somethin' that my future kids, can run up on
|
| So I always do my best to carry on
|
| Life is like game of chess, don’t be a pawn, my nigga
|
| This for my people, tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful
|
| So hard to survive a world so lethal
|
| Who will take a stand and be our hero, of my people, yeah?
|
| This for my people
|
| Tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful
|
| So hard to survive a world so lethal
|
| Who will take a stand and be our hero?
|
| Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane
|
| No, it’s the young black god livin' out his dreams
|
| What you mean? |
| I been up on an ultralight beam
|
| They don’t wanna see you fly, they just gonna shoot your wings
|
| Everything ain’t what it seem
|
| Wishin' all these dirty cops, would come clean
|
| Still swervin' on these city blocks, for one thing
|
| My man just copped a 30 shot, protect the team, know what I mean?
|
| Music is a form of expression
|
| I’ma use mine just to teach you a lesson
|
| Rule one: this microphone’s a weapon
|
| I’m shootin' out the actions manifested and my passion
|
| Never restin', I’m surpassin' the expectancy
|
| Of life in my direction
|
| Man the section 8 depressin'
|
| Hard to be progressin' through recession and oppression
|
| Not to mention that they had us cell blocked ever since an adolescent
|
| This for my people, tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful
|
| So hard to survive a world so lethal
|
| Who will take a stand and be our hero, of my people, yeah?
|
| This for my people
|
| Tryna stay alive and just stay peaceful
|
| So hard to survive a world so lethal
|
| Who will take a stand and be our hero?
|
| Oh, yeah
|
| Oh, mm
|
| Oh, yeah |
