I'm afraid
That I can't grab it all with my bare hands
That's how it should've been
And I'm afraid
That I can't tell my daughter where I been
Cuz I'm her Superman
I've been
Really trippin
Kinda tempted to kick it
My Lois Lane with me
I'm grateful she's here with me
I've been cold blooded
Torn, rough, and rugged
I try to keep it clean
But now my hands are so dirty
They like
It's a bird, it's a plane
It's Superman, drunk, and he ain't focused on a thang
I gotta heart of gold
My intentions are the same
But my actions and mistakes will make you question everythang
And I was taught to
Love my neighbor like my relative
But my
Neighbor broke into my mama crib
I'm numb, I can't sleep
Stressed, I can't eat
Tryna get the ground back under my feet
I'm bout to go up (yeah)
Let the ones in need know what's up (yeah)
The talk is low, the truth is out
But going out to save the day is sounding stupid now
I wanna show you what I'm talkin bout
But I'm afraid
That I can't grab it all with my bare hands
That's how it should've been
And I'm afraid
That I can't tell my daughter where I been
Cuz I'm her Superman
Cuz I've been feelin
Outdated
Drinking under the table
Reality hit hard, like bats, Jose Conseco
And I'm
Dead guilty
City trying to kill me
I'm trying to be real, it's like don't nobody feel me
They like
He's a fool, he's a lie
Ain't nobody perfect, but it doesn't hurt to try
I carry all my flaws in a bag, on my back
Wear my heart right on my sleeve
And my socks don't ever match
And I was taught to
Pay my respect to the society
But I'm
Black and they don't really like me
A target is on my chest
Still doing my best
Trying to succeed under all this stress
I'm bout to blow up (yeah)
Cuz they act like I'll never be enough (yeah)
My demons tryna get me now
Destroying everything I earned is sounding stupid now
I wanna show you what I'm talkin bout
But I'm afraid
That I can't grab it all with my bare hands
That's how it should've been
And I'm afraid
That I can't tell my daughter where I been
Cuz I'm her Superman
Cuz I'm afraid
Oh, I'm afraid
Yeah, I'm afraid
That I can't grab it all
And I'm ashamed
Oh, I'm ashamed
Yeah, I'm ashamed
Cuz I can't tell my daughter
Cuz I'm afraid
Oh, I'm afraid
Yeah, I'm afraid
That I can't grab it all
And I'm ashamed
Oh, I'm ashamed
Yeah, I'm ashamed
Cuz I can't tell my daughter
And I'm afraid
