[JAIE ILLEST]: I awake another day, eyes open to the sun. Realize we’re getting closer but f--k it, I’m having fun.
‘Cause for once I can feel the breeze of the Earth spinning (Ahh.) Then I remembered everything worth forgetting.
I remembered where I live. The city I call home, is legally considering itself a disaster zone.
Back at home it’s a reality, I aint’ got no cameras on. I ain’t write this s--t in no script and this is just a fraction, homes.
They’re getting burned down by the block and it’s so ironic, we celebrate Devil’s Night and then complain of its symbolance,
but they profit off of casualties. No love for mentalities. No hugs for the n---a that bears arms for his salary.
♬ That’s why I gotta be the SuperHero (The Hero) That’s why I gotta be the SuperHero (The Hero) That’s why I gotta be the SuperHero (The Hero) That’s why I gotta be the SuperHero (The Hero) Cause it ain’t none left to save us! ♬
See, in the D it’s like Gotham. No Batman, no Robin. Just a bunch of evil villains politicking to go rob the city’s victims
clean up out their pockets. They’re praying for a savior and all eyes on me, the Prophet!
It’s on me to stop it! I’m in the studios spitting knowledge to the gangstas, I shoot their videos.
I’m who the pretty h--s refer to as a ‘Genius’, ‘cause they know I’m next up in this muthaf-----g sequence!
♬ I'll be the SuperHero (The Hero) That’s why I gotta be the SuperHero (The Hero) That’s why I gotta be the SuperHero (The Hero) That’s why I gotta be the SuperHero (The Hero) Cause it ain’t none left to save us! ♬
Faith. That’s my only weapon, no Biggie. ‘Cause I’m only repping my city and I run each section like Diddy, no sweating, no biggie.
Blessings hit me like I’m about to split seas, hit me like a burning bush. No sticks, no seeds.
Blow Kush in front of police, legalize weed! Uncle Sam and all his n----s is some legalized thieves.
Disguising slavery’s new name: '9-5'. We keep this Godforsaken land alive!
♬ I'll be the SuperHero (The Hero) That’s why I gotta be the SuperHero (The Hero) That’s why I gotta be the SuperHero (The Hero) That’s why I gotta be the SuperHero (The Hero) Cause it ain’t none left to save us! ♬
