lyrics

The Mundane Ubermensch

Chorus
Might not change in no phone booth
And I might not be Superman for you
But I’m someone’s

Might not save the day for you
But I can talk about the things that I been through
‘Cause I’m someone

Verse One
Not faster than a speeding bullet, know how to dodge
‘Cause my son be need a father when this life it get hard
And my daughter need a role model, of a man with word to follow
Those who play with guns can’t see tomorrow
I’m airborne, still on the ground with the next gig
Take you to the higher level, elevating how you live
My x-ray vision seeing through thought forms
Wordsmith to transmit lyrical stealth bombs
Though I’m eternal, I’m set up to die once
Resurrection my direction as I carry my ankh
No red, white, blue tights, but red, black, green lights
And divine winds calm the flames of the firefight
Ain’t Clark Kent, go cellular, not phone booth
Rewind the lines of time and check my roots
True rap gambler, been calling your punks bluff
Guess you couldn’t find a grade of kryptonite strong enough

Verse Two
Otherworldly, came from collapse of dying planets
From graves of slaves, don’t be taking me for granted
The son of Jah-El with the S on my chest
Which stands for satisfied, I got knowledge of self
I can’t bend steel in the palm of my hand
But I can transform the corrupt in hearts of man
From enemy to friend to me, that be what you gonna be
I’m immune to verbal attack, dwell for eternity
Red mean stop, laser ray war freeze
With green I take flight from the conscience in me
More peace I reach as I teach and I preach and I speak
Never taste the bitter fruit of defeat
All I need now is a Lois in my lane
African consciousness, wavelength the same
Build a family, amidst insanity, the game
DP Da Reapa, God saw the need, called the name
