Lyrics
I'm aware that right now a lot of us feel like chips are down
I acknowledge that many of us currently feel defeated or in a difficult situation.
Sick of bein' kicked around
Frustrated with being mistreated or taken advantage of.
Thrown on the ground, picked right back up then tossed in the lost and found
Thrown down and then picked up, only to be discarded and overlooked.
Stumblin', lost your ground but it sounds like a chance for you to recover quickly
Despite stumbling and feeling lost, there's an opportunity for quick recovery.
If you know anything about a struggle at all, the hustle is real, you probably already get me
If familiar with struggle, the real challenge is understood.
So I need all of you with me
Calling for collective unity and support.
The Killer City committee, the Middi West version
Referring to a group in Killer City (possibly Kansas City), emphasizing resilience.
Of the Avengers goin' harder than Bobby and Whitney
Comparing the group to Avengers, highlighting their strength.
The enemy's shifty, so we gotta react swiftly
Acknowledging the cunning nature of the enemy and the need for quick response.
Whenever negativity hit me, I try to get it in check quickly
Reacting promptly to negativity to maintain balance.
Came to know playing the role of a psycho is not gon' fit me
Rejecting the role of a psychotic character as it doesn't suit.
Cause I'm not so fifty, but I do know this
Not entirely understanding, but certain about something.
We all have the power, in every moment the time is ours
Empowering message about the inherent power within everyone.
Counting minutes, seconds, hours
Emphasizing the importance of every moment.
Death to cowards, fight the power
Rejecting weakness and urging to fight against oppression.
Smite the lions, light the fires -
Metaphorical language suggesting overcoming challenges and obstacles.
Brighter, higher, 'till we burn 'em down
Striving for brightness and higher goals, metaphorically burning obstacles.
Take the tables that we turn around
Reversing situations and finding freedom is worth the search.
It's worth the search if freedom's found
Encouraging the pursuit of freedom as a heroic act.
(And you're a hero)
Affirmation of being a hero.
What we need is a hero
Repetition and emphasis on the need for a hero with specific qualities.
Someone who's always strong
-A source of light when things go wrong
-What we need is a, hero
-Who's always there to take flight
-Who can mend our wounds and defends our rights
-What we need is a hero
-Someone prepared to lead the way
-Who can brave our world and save our day
-Hero, who always knows what to do
-Someone like me
-Someone like you
-What we need is a hero
-I watch it all unfold, and then I take my chosen road
-This one goes out to everybody livin' state to state, place to place, and coast to coast
-They're ridin' in, committin' acts of violence that leave us divided, you can take your own control
-The kids lookin' up to us for guidance, now they wanna try it, how were they supposed to know?
-It's like we all wanna fly (Uh), nobody wanna phone on the line but
-Sometimes you gotta swallow your pride and apologize
-For all of the time you were wrong and cauterized the wounds that we harbor inside (Uh)
-Ain't nobody perfect, we need to organize the community, stop living like Lord of the Fly
-I know it might seem hard, it's important to try to keep a light on and centered at the core of your life
-Go to war with a mic
-Shoot 'em down with a peace sign
-The system of control is an intelligent design
-It need a second look, and many elements refined
-We're lookin' for a hero that can help us defeat crime and settle the beef
-If you only throw a rock at police lined, you're really not a rebel to me
-It isn't us vs. them, we all one, stand together in unity better than lyin' dead in the street
-(And what we need is a hero)
-What we need is a hero
-Someone who's always strong

-And this world is what you make it (Oh yeah)
-In the end we gonna make it
-What we need is a hero
-Someone who's always strong
-A source of light when things go wrong
-What we need is a, hero
-Who's always there to take flight

Reiteration of the need for a hero.
