[Verse 1]
Every night out on my own, takin' down another man
Takin' down the guilty party, savin' all the innocent
Nobody deserves to get hurt, but they had it comin' to them
Puttin' good people in danger, prison garb will really suit 'em
I'll shatter all their dreams and their bones like glass
Sipping on the simple life, beating villains with no class
This is the new me, I'm on a journey
I'm always watching over my city

[Pre-Chorus]
All this power's mine
But I'll hold in my pride
I know what I gotta do, gotta do, gotta do, gotta do!

[Chorus]
I gotta be a superhero
Always been nothing but a zero
I've got everything worth fighting for
Now it's all up to me
I'm gonna be a superhero
Ain't nothing that you gotta fear, oh
I've got everything worth fighting for
Now it's all up to me (Uh-uh)

[Verse 2]
Every night out on my own, I keep my enemies close
Soarin' down and up the hallway, feel how fast the breeze blows
I wish city life would be safer
I grew up in these streets, so I choose not to waver (Hey-ya)
[Bridge]
(Hey!) 'Cause now with these cards here, that I've been dealt
Fighting feelings that I never felt to the ones who never mean well
No role model for their sons and daughters
Who won't look up to a father
I can't take it anymore, but I know what I fight for (Fight for)

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I fight for, fight for, ayy
I know what I fight for, fight for, and
I know what I gotta do
Only me and only you
Time to save the universe
And I know what I gotta do!

[Chorus]
I gotta be a superhero (Hero)
Always been nothing but a zero (Zero)
I've got everything worth fighting for (Everything worth fighting for)
Now it's all up to me (Up to me!)
I'm gonna be a superhero (Hero)
Ain't nothing that you gotta fear, oh (Fear, oh)
I've got everything worth fighting for
And now

[Outro]
It's all up to me, yeah (Oh-oh)
It's all up to me
It's my responsibility, yeah (Oh-oh)
I may be different but the same
I do it for my family
Hey (Oh-oh, oh-oh) (Oh-oh, oh-oh) (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Ayy (Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
