Lupe Fiasco - American Terrorist II lyrics

Through the fire, smoke, and broken rubble
Walks the secret life
Bullet-proof and bulging muscle
Death-defying, highest flying over trouble
Can you please
Come and help us out our hopeless struggles?
Sympathy is wearing off and dying out
In the face of all these
Enemies and crying out
Losing all this energy from finding out
The world is filled with ills
Ever so close to timing out

Where, are those heroes?
Where, are those super heroes?

Pondering, that super-villain's got a point
Told the captain on the roof
While they was smoking joints
Flicked the ashes down into the street below
Looked up, said he hate the city now
Even though
He swore that he'd protect it when he landed
Their perspective's now changed
All pretty much abandoned
The captain spray cologne around and
Said he understand it
It's getting hard to separate the
Saints from the satanic

Last remarks, they did it to themselves
I killed off heaven, now I live in hell
So complicit in their own non-survival
Told them that they biggest
Rival is inside you
I do possess the power to revive you
But, if I did that
I'd just have to fight you
Cause you truly are the hero and the villain
The world stood froze
Hearing a truth so chilling
Reporters stopped filming, somebody shouted
"Kill him!" he looked back in disgust and
Flew up through the ceiling
Busted through the roof and
Kicked over the building
Before it hit the ground
A younger hero flew around
And put it on his shoulders
Said you're naive now but believe
You'll believe me when you're older
Every asteroid you stop and bomb
You fly up into space
You ain't saving them from danger
You're keeping danger safe

In my hands, all the peace and all the glory
In my hands in my hands
In my hands, all the peace and all the glory
In my hands
