Black Lightning

Five-O, Five-O lets get up outta here c'mon
We pray at night for the helpless (pray at night)
Hoping you get us through breakfast (hoping)
Wishing somebody comes save us (Black)
Black Lightning's back, come to shock the haters (Lightning)
Five-O, Five-O
Lets get up outta here c'mon
Woke up in the ghetto, we need our hero back
Guns clapping, gangs active, like where we at?
Black lightning needs to strike like where we at
Show us another way besides these guns and crack
Night time, suit up, this for payback
This our Superman, Robin and the Bat
Step back you might get shocked off a contact
This one for the hood
This for being Black
We ain't got no hope they killing every day
I mean we need you in every way
We need results, we don't need to see your face
Here he come, just to save the day
Here he come, just in perfect timing
To help the needy and guide the blinded
Last night I saw a superhero, he was black
He said: This is for the street, Black Lightning's back
We pray at night for the helpless (pray at night)
Hoping you get us through breakfast (hoping)
Wishing somebody comes saves us (Black)
Black Lightning's back, come to shock the haters (Lightning)
Five-O, Five-O
Lets get up outta here c'mon
Aye
No lies seen him with my own eyes
Electric shocking guys put them all in line
Bout time somebody come down here and dealt with crime
Not just the gangsters the police is outta line
So there is no trust they don't understand our trouble
I don't be knowing myself but do we come from struggle?
Because I'm like no superheroes around here bruh (I ain't see them)
I mean he gotta be one of us (gotta be)
Got to understand the hate and the distrust (got to)
Restore the feeling put the love in us (got to)
My partner say I'm high, must be smoking something (you might be right)
I said you right I know the change, I know I'm feeling something
Stand up for something or fall for anything
Lightning came with no rain
I saw a superhero last night, he was black
He said: This is for the hood, Black Lightning's back
We pray at night for the helpless (pray at night)
Hoping you get us through breakfast (hoping)
Wishing somebody comes saves us (Black)
Black Lightning's back, come to shock the haters (Lightning)
Five-O, Five-O
Lets get up outta here c'mon
