G-therz - We Need a Hero

Yo, yo
Look it's more than black and white
The problems lie within who ain’t acting right
It doesn't take an avatar to see the imbalance
Or see that no peace is achieved through this malice
There isn't that much progress in reality
Because they’re still spreading this backwards mentality
That's why I feel like I'm back in the sixties
As racial tensions happen to clash in the cities
Getting profiled 'cause of racial skin tone
And all that I see is hatred is shown
But it's hard to get people listening
When there's idiots that choose to be so ignorant
We as a people cannot take anymore
Going against each other, soon it'll be a war
Something needs to put us all back on course
In other words everybody what we need is a
Hero, hero, hero
Someone with the will to save us all
Hero, hero, hero
Before it’s too late and we fall
A hero, hero, hero
Someone with the will to save us all
Hero, hero, hero
Before it’s too late and we fall
All lives matter but black lives matter right now
'Cause police have them killed and battered right now
And we’re supposed to be looking up to these boys in blue
And no matter what be loyal to?
I say fuck that 'cause now it's all backwards
They're supposed to serve justice, not be our masters
I can’t hold a phone without their assumption it's a glock
Or how I dress means I sell drugs up on the block
How many innocent people must they clap when
Congress is finally gonna take action
It doesn't matter if I'm white and your skin is black
We're all Americans, we must remember that
We as a people cannot take anymore
Going against each other, soon it'll be a war
Something needs to put us all back on course
In other words everybody what we need is a
Hero, hero, hero
Someone with the will to save us all
Hero, hero, hero
Before it's too late and we fall
A hero, hero, hero
Someone with the will to save us all
Hero, hero, hero
Before it's too late and we fall
We can't move on to the future if we hold on
To the past we had, reminders of those wrongs
Confederate statues don't only represent history
But the slavery that still goes on mentally
I know it's important for not repeating that
But a reminder to keep racism one can see it as
You might defend and say that it's imperative
But what it represents is a hateful heritage
Take a look at Germany as you
Can see that they don't keep up Nazi statues
So we should follow that better path for U.S. living
'Cause we're ‘posed to be a union, but still in division
We as a people cannot take anymore
Going against each other, soon it'll be a war
Something needs to put us all back on course
In other words everybody what we need is a
Hero, hero, hero
Someone with the will to save us all
Hero, hero, hero
Before it's too late and we fall
A hero, hero, hero
Someone with the will to save us all
Hero, hero, hero
Before it's too late and we fall
I know there ain't a Superman to save the day
But a hero doesn't mean wearing tights and a cape
I know there ain't a Superman to save the day
But a hero doesn't mean wearing tights and a cape
I know there ain't a Superman to save the day
But a hero doesn't mean wearing tights and a cape
I know there ain't a Superman to save the day
But a hero doesn't mean wearing tights and a cape
