Super Hero Lyrics

(Prince)

[Chorus:]
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
Listen 2 my band

I am born unto pverty 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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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 tell me
Why can't it be mine
I am just as good as U or any kind
And there's so much I can
And will and want 2 do
But I cannot until I get through 2 U

[Chorus]

Give us what U give your brothers
Then U'll understand
That I won't be your Super Hero
Until U give us all U can now-now!

[Chorus]
