Robert Glasper Black Superhero

Robert Glasper is coming into 2022 strong. After teaming up with Derrick Hodge for the soundtrack of Run The World: Season 1, it looks like he’s preparing to release a new project of his own this year. On Thursday, he slid through with a brand new inspirational single, “Black Superhero” featuring Big K.R.I.T., Killer Mike, and BJ The Chicago Kid. Glasper’s smooth jazz production perfectly fits Killer Mike’s baritone delivery and BJ The Chicago’s Kid’s luscious vocals as he sings, “Every block, every hood, every city, every ghetto, needs a Black Superhero.” Krit and Killer Mike use the concept to propel their verses to detail various forms of Black empowerment.

TRANSCRIBING

[Intro]
Yeah
Up in the sky
It’s a bird, it’s a plane
Hmm, sound like some superhero shit
Some black superhero shit
Hmm, damn
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
Every block, every hood, every city, every ghetto
Need a black superhero
Every block, every hood, every city, every ghetto
Need a black superhero

[Verse 1]
You need a nigga roll like me
Military mind stated and I keep a gun and a degree
You can label me a Huey P
Made a martyr outta Martin, outta Malcolm, out a nigga
I refuse to let these dirty devils make my Gullah beggar
Fuck a hero see, oh, I will go make heed oh for my people
Give me liberty or death that is my credo not my ego
Dressed in a tuxedo, enter party, altar ego
Killed your need of it, gazebo, did it for the people
Love what motivated, I did not do it for hatred
But I truly hate the devil I cannot debate or fake it
I was asked a question and I asked about it hard
If I was facing death then I could ask one thing of god
I would ask for every nigga to be free here and abroad
And to be rightfully celebrated as a child of God
And to be rightfully celebrated as a child of God (As a child of God)

[Chorus]
Every block, every hood, every city, every ghetto
Need a black superhero
Every block, every hood, every city, every ghetto
Need a black superhero
