"The song here is called Superhero"

I would love to be your superhero with brown skin
Because many people can't imagine
And don't know what it means
When your son lies next to you in bed
And tells you he would like to be white
And you know, all his superheroes are white
From Harry Potter to Luke
But believe me, if they knew you personally
They would want to look like you
And I know it
That sometimes it's not easy
Being brown when the majority here is white
And you look around and compare yourself
Feel alone and are desperate
I've experienced it firsthand
But over time I've learned that the doubts
And the pain fade over the years
And you recognize your own worth
But until then

I would love to be your superhero
Your superhero with brown skin
But I can't fly through the air
Can't shoot lightning from my hands
But what I can do is be there for you
And promise to love you

But many people can't imagine it
And don't know what it's like
When you grow up as a brown boy in a white country
And miss something
What you don't get here
Because you're often the only one here
And every now and then you get dissed
But believe me
No, better yet, baby, believe in yourself
And you can achieve anything you want
But I know it, that sometimes it's not easy
Being different when the majority here is the same
And you look around and compare yourself
Feel alone and are desperate
I've experienced it firsthand
But I've gone my own way
And I'm not a superhero, oh no
Just a simple man
Who will love you all his life
But still

I would love to be your superhero (superhero)
Your superhero with brown skin (with brown skin)
But I can't fly through the air
Can't shoot lightning from my hands
But what I can do is be there for you
And promise to love you
To love you

(To love you)
(To love you)
(To love you)
(To love you)

My superhero is almost as tall as me
Young prince, time for him to get the crown, no joke
He's almost grown up, I'm almost a rap retiree
The song's ten years old, Black Panther only came out this year
And in those ten years I've met so many kids and moms
Who thank me for this song because it gives courage when you're scared
Feel alone and not represented
What the majority of people are not interested in at all
But I have an educational mission and my knowledge is well-founded
Empathy pays off when you invest a little
Believe me
How can you deny others' experiences?
Please spare me your tabloid arguments
What's wrong with a black hero?
We don't even want to be special, just normal people
And heroes come in all colors and shapes
Watch out, our time here has just begun

Uuh, uuh
Superhero, superhero

I would love to be your superhero
Your superhero with brown skin (with brown skin)
But I can't fly through the air
Can't shoot lightning from my hands
But what I can do is be there for you
And promise to love you, to love you

(To love you)
To love you
(To love you)
Oh, oh, oh
(To love you)
Yeah, yeah yes yes
(To love you)
Say what
(Superhero)
(I would love to be your superhero)
(Superhero)
(I would love to be your superhero)
