Look
Young ones got dreams they wanna live
But it's like
The parents don't got opportunities to give
That was a similar case to a friend of mine
She told me about something
That happened back when she was nine
She told me her daddy asked her
What you want to be when you grow up
Little girl
She said
Daddy I want to be a superhero
And I'll save the whole world
And daddy said
Don't be ridiculous daughter
Why not an engineer lawyer or medical doctor
She said
Daddy what if I want to make a difference
She kept on talking
But her daddy didn't listen
Till she realized he finalized his decision
So she had no other choice
But to do as he said
Because there was no other option left
Man it's like they tryna put us in a cage
They want us to be superheroes
But without the capes
I wanna be a hero but I'm flying without wings
You took my cape and told me
I should try and save the day
I wanna be a super but my powers can't be used
You told me I should do the things I didn't wanna do
I wanna be a hero but I'm flying without wings
You took my cape and told me
I should try and save the day
I wanna be a super but my powers can't be used
You told me I should do the things I didn't wanna do
That young girl made a lot of good grades
But she lived her life in a very miserable way
Straight A's with a straight face
She don't like smiling
One day I asked what happened
So she had to break the silence
When she was done talking
I was flabbergasted
And she was crying so I said sorry for asking
I felt really bad but what could I do man
After that day
We became really close friends
I hope that you all don't quote me wrong
Let me explain what I was tryna depict
When I wrote this song
I ain't saying children should be flying around
Like hawks
But at least they should be given a chance
To think outside the box
Become a football player an athlete a musician
These are good occupations if you ask me
They tryna put us in a cage
Want us to be superheroes but without the capes
I wanna be a hero but I'm flying without wings
You took my cape and told me
I should try and save the day
I wanna be a super but my powers can't be used
You told me I should do the things I didn't wanna do
I wanna be a hero but I'm flying without wings
You took my cape and told me
I should try and save the day
I wanna be a super but my powers can't be used
You told me I should do the things I didn't wanna do
And when I'm flying without the cape
I need support and your guidance
To pick me up when I fall down
And not pull me deeper into the
Ground And when I'm flying without the cape
I need support and your guidance
To pick me up when I fall down
And not pull me deeper into the ground
That's a wrap
