You know Yeah Always wanted to have super powers You know, uh It's for my people, tryin’ stay alive and just stay peaceful So hard to survive a world so lethal Who will take a stand and be our hero For my people, yeah It's for my people, tryin' to stay alive and just stay peaceful So hard to survive a world so lethal Who will take a stand and be our hero Uh, not 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 tryin' to be great It's hard when your back's against the wall And if you got an order keep your feet up on the floor That's why I thank the Lord when I wake up in the morn’ 'Cause through him you can see every 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 a horn, and drop a bomb Want to get my mom a crib, with a lawn Something that my future kids, can run up on That's why I always do my best to carry on Heaven's like game of chess, don't be a pawn my nigga It’s for my people, tryin' to stay alive and just stay peaceful So hard to survive a world so lethal Who will take a stand and be our hero For my people, yeah It's for my people, tryin' to 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 Wishing all these dirty cops, would come clean Still swerving on these city blocks, for one thing I may just cop the 30 shot, protect the team, know what I mean? Music is a form of expression I'mma use mine just to teach you a lesson Rule one: this microphone's a weapon I'm shootin' out the actions manifested in my passion Influencing and surpassing, they expect to see a life in my direction Man that section 8 depressin' Hard to be progression through recession and oppression Not to mention that they had our soul blocked ever since an adolescent It's for my people, tryin' to stay alive and just stay peaceful So hard to survive a world so lethal Who will take the stand and be our hero For my people, yeah It's for my people, tryin' to stay alive and just stay peaceful So hard to survive a world so lethal Who will take the stand and be our hero Oh, mm
