super hero

i will be your super hero

but u must understand

if i'm 2 be your super hero

u must give me half a chance

listen 2 my band

i am born unto pverty and fear

i am scorned yet i hold back my tears

there's so much i can and

will and want 2 do

but i cannot until i get through 2 u

i am lucky if i learn 2 read and write

where i live u must first learn 2 stand and fight

i'm the product of the system

i'm aware

what's my name

don't matter-nobody cares

i understand u need me if u ever 2 war

but i don't understand if i buy the goods

why i can't own the store

don't tell me that i am not worthy

after 400 years overtime

if it's yours then tell me

why can't it be mine

i am just as good as u or any kind

and there's so much i can

and will and want 2 do

but i cannot until i get through 2 u

give us what u give your brothers

then u'll understand

that i won't be your super hero

until u give us all u can now-now!
