If The Shoe Fits - Superman Lyrics

I can pick up with my hands What I used to think I couldn't And I needed Superman in the flesh But I don't got no time for taking L's In my head I rather fail than submit So I just tell myself within that
Erreybody waiting on a hero ain't nobody really tryna be one Real cruel world that we living in Get hurt standing up for a reason
Everybody waiting on a hero Ain't nobody really tryna be one Work so hard giving all that you got end up winning but you missing all your freedom dam
I be feeling so weak Sometimes When I read about the world and the state of climate Why the poorest people always deep in pain So much evil really make a nigga think All the innocent believing in a perfect world punishing the egos to the worst on brink of denial Bottled up energy just filling to the brim Tryna hold emotions in or pour em down the sink Lemme tell you man i wanna say I tried in the past to engage all my problems Though I didn't have the power yet to solve em Living so insulated Fully knew about the future and the implications Couldn't face it Kinda hard to keep on battling the basics Too complacent with this Jaded by every day of lateness it's hard to gain momentum Losing power on every mile to greatness
They say we're so close the road to get it is simple, But just to build gates and let us look through the windows, the same folks saying that we living post-race, be the first ones calling me a *nigger* ok,
The same ones saying the economy booming,
Be the first ones lying and shooting, sit at home and worship billionaires and build them up, And hype wealth you'll never see or touch, But they your heros,
Nah, I'm so exhausted figure out where I lost it, Scrolling through my feed's like drinking a fifth of toxins, So I don't ever question why they drinking and smoking, We turn to our vice to escape all the vultures,
Can't numb the pain it's a sign that I'm living, Can't quell the anger inside cuz I'm livid, I don't want a hero rather stand on my own two, Fight my own battles everyday I'm supposed to
Went ahead caught another L so what Gotta go pick myself right up Woe ain't me You can save that shit Lord knows Mama ain't raise no bitch 2019 was a Real trip Used to drink till my heart couldn't Feel shit Ran from What I Just couldn't Deal with I was down I was hurt couldn't heal it
Ain't text no one ain't want no advice aint want no Help from a friend Had to find own peace in this shit cuz You Only got yourself in the end
Niggas ain't dropping Niggas ain't stopping Death keep callin Nigga what's poppin Ain't damn thing in this life gon be painless gotta find your way through the anguish
One of the things that scares me in moments like these is just how powerless I feel. To see the world's suffering in real time but without the means to stop it it's discouraging, to say the least. And it's easy to feel small in these moments, like there's nothing that you could do that would even make a dent in all that suffering that's going on but that feeling
Alone shouldn't be enough to paralyze you into submission.
I mean sure you can't singlehandedly end poverty but you could help somebody get to their next meal. Maybe you can't end discrimination but you can speak up for someone who's voice is often ignored.
I guess what I'm saying is Things like that add up, so instead of focusing on all the things that we can't do, I find it reassuring to think about the things we can
