Super Hero - Earth, Wind & Fire

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

I am born unto poverty 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

Listen 2 my band

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 why can’t it be mine?

I am just as good as U or any kind

There’s so much I can and will and want 2 do

But I cannot 'til I get through 2 U

Listen 2 my band

Give us what U give your brothers

Then U’ll understand

I won’t be your Super Hero

'Til U give us all U can now -- now!
