Lyrics

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 live

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
