Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah
My underlying message
It's here to save the day as long as you've accepted
Villains are a hero when deception is effective
Heroes turn to villains to decide the last perspective, nah
I knew a homie that was good at takin' lives within the same neighborhood
He orchestrated turkey drives
He hopped out he helped out hopped back in then died
He was meant to recade but he was just tryin' to survive
When the white man has taken more than what we makin'
Doodled up the red line that started segregation
We break into their homes so they can feel the correlation
Thinkin' labeled as a thug because we seized our reparation
We take on tasks that override the Marvel cast
And livin' through a concept that Stan Lee forgets to grasp
'Cause really if he did I promise you he'll tell it fast
That the only true power is when you takin' off the mask
And I'm takin' off mine
I got no pity for a silly that can't follow behind
There's only one supernatural where all is designed
So next time you pass out judgment please keep this in mind
That the **** that let down your love was probably never shown it
In a house that didn't have a spouse for mama at the moment
The preacher that's a teacher beggin' for your church enrollment
Might have other plans for prayin' hands to cater his enjoyment
The **** on your corner drug dealin' you deem unable
Might just have a little one that needs some food up on the table
Switch around your backgrounds and let's see if you able
To survive the government a gunshot and god's appraisal
This is true auditory and I promise I'm a talent
Even if it is gory to the human race that can't escape the views of their glory
When judgin' face at face value without an origin story for real
People say I'm no good
But they never, never do they say
Why their world is so mixed up
Or how it got that way
