Superhero - Ororo Munroe lyrics

[Verse: Blaque] Being a black woman is Constantly being told that You're never enough You're not attractive unless you fit the eurocentric beauty standard You're too incompetent to make the same amount as your co-workers Any intense emotion you feel Is attacked and devalued Being a black woman is Being born into a world Knowing you'll never be able reach the standard Being unique enough to reinvent A culture that was stolen from you Being beautiful enough to be envied and replicated Being smart enough to become the fastest demographic For graduating college with a bachelor's degree Being ambitious enough To be the number one demographic in entrepreneurship And also being maternal enough to raise everyone's family Being a black woman is Being forced into an unrealistic sense of loyalty to black men And then we raise them Care for them And support them Just for them to treat us Just as bad as the rest of the world does You fathers, your brothers Your cousins, your friends But in the end We don't need your love to prosper That's what makes us magical And that's what makes us superHeroes Cue confetti [Outro] (Stay awhile longer sweet tongue of fur and feather There is a white breast Waiting for you here... Between the superheroes)
