[03:00.004]High beam for eye to peep, the villains and the door
[03:02.512]Power of resolution 'fore a war was even started

[04:08.000]Need a Black superhero (Need a Black superhero)
[04:11.768]
[04:19.292][Outro: Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah]
[04:22.305]You know, just, just the idea of how Black men in this culture and society get framed
[04:28.073]And how everything possible is actually designed to actually diminish what your true power is, right?
[04:33.842]And so, when you speak about the superhero-ness of our communities
[04:37.101]Every ghetto, every block, every street corner
[04:39.860]Really, all of those men are God, they're just living in a reality that tears them down
[04:44.877]And makes them feels as though they're not what they actually are
[04:47.635]'Cause they know it when they look in the mirror
[04:54.172]The female take on it
[04:55.676]You know, and on some levels, it's a little more heartbreaking, right?
[04:58.686]Because, like, we've created this reality that walks away from us being clear of all the fact that the Black woman is actually the goddess on this planet (Absolutely)
[05:07.969]The mitochondrial information that's read was to create every type of man that exists on this planet is derivative of hers (Absolutely)
[05:14.994]Right? So, we actually have to sit there figuring out
[05:18.759]Which being on this planet actually constitutes God?
[05:22.769]And that term, if we're framing it in that way
[05:27.285]The actual living God on this planet
[05:28.789]The only direction you can point in is the direction of the Black woman
[05:32.553]First like, us as an extension of her, but firstly her, right?
[05:36.066]Because none of it exists without her
