No Capes (Prod. Big Cats)
Yeah
And it goes like
Yeah
Yeah
They found Superman's body
Behind a Chinese buffet
Cape over his head
Wedged between dumpsters
(None other)
And I ain't dude's biggest fan
But two Kryptonite bullets?
It's just messed up that he
Went out like such a sucker
Just got bucked like one of us would
But it's poetic justice
He'd die in southside Metropolis
Look up in the sky
Ain't no birds, no planes
And no solutions
Just a permanent curtain of smog
Flickered to life by light pollution
Superman was a hero to most
But he never meant shit to me
Little more than a prisoner with a life sentence
Honoring us roaches with his friendship
But look who he defended
Policy, property, and investments
Their truth, justice, and American way
But that was never our direction
Forced into looking to the sky
For protection that never came
As he battled robots for the status quo
Not for the people
And tried to spin it into good vs. evil
But this is not a movie for us
Trying to one-take life
Don't look for the sequel
Look for the steeple
Ring every bell
As though God had fallen
And was fertilizing hell
Yo
We are not faithful
We just know flight
Doesn't make you an angel
Come on
The day after Superman died
Everybody stopped looking up in the sky
And started looking down at the ground
Like we have been heroes here this whole time
Yo
The day after Superman died
Everybody just got back on the grind
Cause there is work to be done

Yo
No capes but we stay fly
My hero is the janitor who organizes
After-school programs in his off time
My hero is the amateur rapper who
Only makes twenty dollars but spits all night
My hero is the independent journalist
Working under pressure that I can't imagine
My hero has gotta be that single mother
Working two jobs yet still finding time
To splash the canvas
My hero: the union organizer
Who stays disillusioned
But he keeps moving
He says it's for the movement
And even if he doesn't live to see it
He'll make improvements
For his kids
Believe it
My hero is not a household name
She just runs a household
Day after day, no excuses
Her superpower's dinner made on minimum wage
For two teens and a first-generation college student
My heroes are refugees
Undocumented workers sending money back home
Conscious thugs, gay rappers
And hip-hop feminists
Who never had nothing but a dream
And some backbone
And none of us wear capes
None of us will ever be president
None of us will ever be Superman
We can only jump so high
But feet to the earth we are so fly
The day after Superman died
Everybody stopped looking up in the sky
And started looking down at the ground
Like we have been heroes here this whole time
Yo
The day after Superman died
Everybody just got back on the grind
Cause there is work to be done
Yo
No capes but we stay fly
Huh
No capes but we stay fly, fly
No capes but we stay fly, fly
No capes but we stay fly, fly
No capes but we stay fly, fly
No capes
