lyrics

Peter Parker's position's been filled
Batman's still got his wheels
and last time I checked Clark Kent ain't gave his cape up
Baby, I can't save you
Can't nobody take you for a fool, unless that's how you're selling it
And if you stayed celibate more than three weeks after you meet
You would know if he was diggin you instead of trying to dig IN you
It don't take that book, movie, or even my poem to know
whether or not he's not that into you
Especially if he don't call after he enters you
How you give a man job benefits & he ain't passed the interview?
Baby girl, you need to learn the inner you
Salvation's not an occupation, it's self service
And if you took more time learning yourself
You'd know which one of these niggas was self-serving
Don't know your purpose
What your worth is, or what you was built for
Chick, you're not a Motel 6... you're the Biltmore
Look...

(hook)
I ain't ya daddy, I ain't raising you
Yeah, I got a little paper, I ain't breaking you off
A damn thing, baby, I ain't paying for you
You got life fucked up, I'ma pray for you
You better go & go talk to the God that made you
Get your Mary J. Blige on & breakthrough
I'ma make me, I ain't trying to make you
I ain't got no cape on, I ain't trying to save you (repeat)

verse 2

Fellas
If we built more princesses & raised them to be queens
They wouldn't be naked on poles & half-naked on trampolines
I mean, ain't ye supposed to first seek the kingdom?
But nowadays queens dumb
Trying to find court jesters to replace them with big faces
But instead of focusing on the Benjamins you need to look at Abraham
not Lincoln, ABRAHAM
Remember in the Bible when he left Lot is when he got his blessings
A lot of y'all stressing
Acting like y'all in Shawshank
Not realizing y'all got the key to your own freedom
So let me make this message for y'all real, real simple & clearer
Baby girl, if you need a superhero, you need do nothing else... except look in the mirror
As for me?

(repeat chorus)
