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 That's why 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 That's why 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
