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, outta Medgar
I refuse to let these dirty devils make my Gullah beggar
Fuck 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)
Every block, every hood
Every city, every ghetto
Need a Black superhero
Every block, every hood
Every city, every ghetto
Need a Black superhero
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
Every block, every hood
Every city, every ghetto
Need a Black superhero
Every block, every hood
Every city, every ghetto
Need a Black superhero
I'm talking bulletproof kinda suit
Reflect the struggle that they put us through
With a shrimp
To fight the power like Chaldea do
With the insight to be equal
Know the sky need it, a voice that finds reason
To multiply people in the streets full of calls
Marching on Washington, might as well be walking through walls
Type of superhero show up with ain't no one to call
That'll shield ya from them shields that been killing us all
High beams for eyes to peep the villains in the dark
Power of resolution 'fore a war was even started
The knowledge to build and grow where they live
And take care of the kids and the older folk
The queens cause they need it most
Politic with the kings about economic growth
Kill PTSD, 'cause mental health ain't a joke
Feed the hungry, and though, everyone would know everywhere we go
Every block, every hood
Every city, every ghetto
Need a Black superhero
Every block, every hood

We just took it, have faith and know that
Long as you got mine, I got your back, I know
Every block, every hood
Every city, every ghetto
Need a Black superhero (need a Black superhero)
You know, just, just the idea of how Black men
In this culture and society get framed
And how everything possible is actually designed
To actually diminish what your true power is, right?
And so, when you speak about the superhero-ness of our communities
Every ghetto, every block, every street corner
Really, all of those men are God
They're just living in a reality that tears them down
And makes them feels as though they're not what they actually are
'Cause they know it when they look in the mirror
The female take on it
You know, it's on some levels, it's a little more heartbreaking, right?
Because, like, we've created this reality
That walks away from us being clear
About the fact that the Black woman is actually
The goddess on this planet (absolutely)
The mitochondrial information that's requisite
To create every type of man
That exists on this planet is derivative of hers (absolutely)
Right? So, we actually have to sit there figuring out
Which being on this planet actually constitutes God?
And that term, if we're framing it in that way
The actual living God on this planet
The only direction you can point in is the direction of the Black woman
Firstly like, us as an extension of her, but firstly her, right?
Because none of it exists without her
Yeah (up in the sky)
Ja (da oben im Himmel)
(It's a bird, it's a plane)
(Es ist ein Vogel, es ist ein Flugzeug)

Militärisch denkend und ich habe eine Waffe und einen Abschluss
You can label me a Huey P
Du kannst mich einen Huey P nennen
Made a martyr outta Martin, outta Malcolm, outta Medgar
Sie haben aus Martin, aus Malcolm, aus Medgar Märtyrer gemacht
I refuse to let these dirty devils make my Gullah beggar
Ich weigere mich, diese schmutzigen Teufel meinen Gullah betteln zu lassen
Fuck a hero see oh I will go make heed oh for my people
Scheiß auf einen Helden, sieh zu, ich werde für mein Volk sorgen
Give me liberty or death that is my credo not my ego
Gib mir Freiheit oder Tod, das ist mein Credo, nicht mein Ego
Dressed in a tuxedo, enter party, altar ego
Gekleidet in einem Smoking, betrete die Party, zweites Ich
Killed your need of it, gazebo, did it for the people
Tötete dein Bedürfnis danach, Pavillon, tat es für die Leute
Love what motivated, I did not do it for hatred
Liebe hat mich motiviert, ich habe es nicht aus Hass getan
But I truly hate the devil I cannot debate or fake it
Aber ich hasse den Teufel wirklich, ich kann nicht darüber diskutieren oder es vortäuschen
I was asked a question and I asked about it hard
Mir wurde eine Frage gestellt und ich habe hart darüber nachgedacht
If I was facing death then I could ask one thing of God
Wenn ich dem Tod gegenüberstehen würde, dann könnte ich Gott eine Sache fragen
I would ask for every nigga to be free here and abroad
Ich würde darum bitten, dass jeder Neger hier und im Ausland frei ist
And to be rightfully celebrated as a child of God
Und zu Recht als Kind Gottes gefeiert wird

Our own kind took Nip from us
Unsere eigene Art hat uns Nip genommen

Ehrlich gesagt, wir beneiden, also warum sind wir so neidisch

Und warum beneidet uns unsere eigene Art?
Pop said it's hard but we gotta keep our head up

Um die Macht zu bekämpfen, wie Chaldea es tut
With the insight to be equal
Mit der Einsicht, gleich zu sein
Know the sky need it, a voice that finds reason
Weiß, dass der Himmel es braucht, eine Stimme, die einen Grund findet
To multiply people in the streets full of calls
Um Menschen auf den Straßen voller Anrufe zu vermehren
Marching on Washington, might as well be walking through walls
Marschieren auf Washington, könnte genauso gut durch Wände gehen
Type of superhero show up with ain't no one to call

That'll shield ya from them shields that been killing us all
Das wird dich vor diesen Schilden schützen, die uns alle töten

They're just living in a reality that tears them down
Sie leben nur in einer Realität, die sie niederreißt
And makes them feels as though they're not what they actually are
Und lässt sie sich fühlen, als wären sie nicht das, was sie eigentlich sind
'Cause they know it when they look in the mirror
Denn sie wissen es, wenn sie in den Spiegel schauen
The female take on it
Die weibliche Sicht darauf
You know, it's on some levels, it's a little more heartbreaking, right?
Weißt du, auf einigen Ebenen ist es ein bisschen herzzerreißender, oder?
Because, like, we've created this reality

That walks away from us being clear

Richtig? Also müssen wir tatsächlich da sitzen und herausfinden
Which being on this planet actually constitutes God?
Welches Wesen auf diesem Planeten tatsächlich Gott darstellt?
And that term, if we're framing it in that way
Und dieser Begriff, wenn wir ihn auf diese Weise einrahmen
The actual living God on this planet
