Superhero - Miles Morales lyrics
[Verse 1: dJ Ghost] They doubt him They hate him and taunt him Saying he's unworthy of his powers The mantle can't be deflowered How can you see under the mask The color of his skin? The melanin pumping his veins Yet still be disdain How could you question his morality? When badges would shot at him recklessly If they knew his identity How could you see what he sees? When your privilege blinds you From the truth, while you push it to the rearview But he's never scared Even though he could die any night Trying to save a another life But in the end, it's still worth it You can never change his purpose Cuz his people need a superHero So despise him all you want Drag name his name through the mud He'll still put the mask on With a black fist held up high His powers were never a mistake No matter what you say Even if you burn him at the stake He'll still save the day [Hook] So tell me who's afraid of Black superHero what Your fear and hate will never phase him So tell me who's afraid of Black superHero what This S on his chest will never fade So tell me who's afraid of Black superHero what Till the ends of the earth, he'll always save you So tell me who's afraid of Black superHero what SuperHero what SuperHero whaaaattttt [Verse 2: Apollo] Do they love me? I wonder if they hate me I'm just tryna do right I see some people needing saving But when they see me pull up My hair becomes my label I'm a nappy headed pro love free minded baby Tryna stay strong Tryna save lives hoping I can save my own My burdens bearing blood I can't make a home I could shed all of my culture not to feel alone But living with this rhythm I can't sell my soul Cause I'm Black and I love it And I'll save anyone but I don't need another cover I'm a proud mother shut yo mouth With one purpose My veins boil hotter than my ancestors furnace Couldn't care how you view me I'm looking way past the surface Cause I got all these powers I had to get up my courage I got skin made of bronze And I'm proud of my face So even if you hang me from that noose I'll still save the day [Hook]
