Superheroes |
| Don’t die on me |
| I said |
| Young black king, don’t die on me |
| You my brother, you my keeper, I need you to keep an eye on me |
| And no more fightin' on the streets |
| Walking 'round with all this pride on me |
| Well, shit, shit’s tough for us already, know that you can still rely on me |
| Please, just stay alive for me |
| And my young black queens, don’t quit now |
| Yeah, you’re the only ones that got us |
| I could never let my sis' down |
| You’ve been too strong for too long, yet still you never sit down |
| Wow, that’s the power of your lovin' |
| And it’s worthy of a king’s crown |
| And still, you never let your kings down |
| Even though more time we don’t deserve it |
| The picture isn’t pretty but it’s perfect |
| Tedious pressure so then I curve it |
| Serena or Venus, the way I serve it |
| I’m Malorie Blackman the way I sell books |
| I jump on the stage and then the world looks |
| All that bangin' on my door had my girl shook |
| Like, «Sorry officer, I only sell hooks» |
| Leave me alone, every little L I took I held it close to home |
| Live and you learn, they’ll always hate me for my tone |
| For the shade of my skin and not the courage in my bones |
| Now I’m misunderstood, now feelin' like Nina Simone |
| They way I tour the world, would’ve thought that I was Simz |
| See her on stage, I know that women can be kings |
| I know that it’s fucked, they’re overlookin' what you bring |
| I know shit’s all good, but it’s just the little things |
| Black queen, you’re immaculate |
| It’s comin' at the world, they ain’t ready for your magic yet |
| And that was never your fault, man, I guess they couldn’t hack it yet |
| World domination and you ain’t even takin' off your jacket yet |
| So effortlessly fabulous |
| And my young black kings, I hope it pays off |
| Go and show 'em what you’re made of |
| Tryna scare us with some things that we are no longer afraid of |
| Men are superheroes, let me see you take off |
| I pray you never take your cape off |
| Even though more time we don’t fly straight |
| But trust me, bro, I promise we gon' die great |
| Our burdens are heavy but we ain’t lightweights |
| Our parents were legends, they had to migrate |
| So that’s the reason not to sit around and chat shit |
| I’m from the place where Michael Dapaah made a smash hit |
| Where you can be a rapper if you rap sick |
| They’re screamin', «What a flippin' time to be a black Brit» |
| We so alive, whole world want our demise, but know we ride |
| Try to push us all to the side, we know our rights |
| Now we get the whole of the pie, then go inside |
| When we see that Merky flag in the sky, just know it’s 'ight |
| The way I top the charts, would’ve thought that I was Dave |
| I am young, black, beautiful, and brave |
| Know that it’s fucked, they overlookin' what we gave |
| I know shit’s all good so we pray for better days |
| Pray they’re better than before (Better than before) |
| Young, black king, you are everything and more (You are everything and more) |
| I know one song’s not enough to settle scores (Not enough to settle scores) |
| But from the bottom of my heart, man, I hope you’re gettin' yours (Gettin' |
| yours, gettin' yours) |
| Man, I hope you’re gettin' yours (Get yours, get yours) |
| Young black queen, get your shine on |
| All I see is innovators and a bag of icons |
| You can go and ask the whole world where they got their style from |
| That’s you, that’s us, God’s time and He never gets the time wrong |
| I guess we’re just some ticking time bombs |
| We’ll soon blow, boom |
| I can make my world come true |
| All my dreams will see me through |
| And if that won’t get me down |
| My dreams will turn things all around |
| With a smile upon my face |
| I can see a better place |
| Doesn’t matter what will come my way |
| Believe me now, I will win someday |
