Stormzy - Superheroes

[Intro]
Bm Am E G
G Am
Don’t die on me
E7
I said

[Verse]
G Gm Am
Young black king, don’t die on me
G
You’re my brother, you’re my keeper
Bm Am
I need you to keep an eye on me
G
And no more fighting on the streets
G Bm AM
Walking ‘round with all this pride on me
E G
Shit, shit’s tough for us already
G Bm Am
Know that you can still rely on me
Am E G
Please, just stay alive for me

[Verse]
G Am
And my young black queens, don’t quit now (yeah)
G
You’re the only ones that got us
G Bm Am
I could never let my sis down
Am G
You been too strong, for too long
G Am
Yet, still you never sit down, wow
G
That’s the power of your loving
G Bm Am
And it’s worthy of a king’s crown
Am G
And still you never let your kings down

[Verse]
G Bm
Even though most times, we don’t deserve it
Am G
The picture isn’t pretty, but it’s perfect
G Bm Am
Tedious pressures, so then I curve it
Am G
Serena or Venus, the way I serve it
G Bm Am
I’m Mallory Blackman, the way I sell books
A G
I jump on the stage, and then the world looks
G Bm Am
All that banging’ on my door, had my girl shook
Am A G
Now sorry officer, I only sell hooks
G
Leave me alone
G Am
Every little L I took, I hold it close to home
A G
Live and you learn, they’ll always hate me for my tone
G
For the shade of my skin
G A
And not the courage of my bones
A
Now, I’m misunderstood
G
Now, I’m feeling like Nina Simone
Am
The way I toured the world
Am A
Would have thought that I was Sims
A G
See her on stage, I know that women can be kings
G Bm A
I know that’s fucked, they’re overlooking what you bring
A G
I know shit’s all good, but it’s just the little things

[Verse]
G Am
Black queen you’re immaculate
G
It’s coming at the world
G
They ain’t ready for your magic yet
Am G
And that was never your fault
G
Man, I guess they couldn’t hack it yet
Am G
World domination, and you ain’t even
G Am
Taken off your jacket yet
Am D
So effortlessly fabulous

[Verse]
G Am
And my young black kings I hope it pays off
G Bm Am
Go and show ‘em what you’re made of
A G
Trying to scare us with some things
G Am
That we are no longer afraid of
G
Men are superheroes, let me see you take off
Am
I pray you never take your cape off

[Verse]
G Bm
Even though most times, we don’t fly straight
Am
If I trust you bro, I promise we gon’ die great
G Bm
Our burdens are heavy, but we ain’t light weights
Am
Our parents were legends, they had to migrate
G Bm
So that’s a reason not to sit around and chat shit
Am
I’m from the place where Michael Dapaah made a smash hit
G B
Where you can be a rapper, if rap you sick
Am
They’re screaming, “What a flippin’ time to be a black Brit!”
G Am
We so alive, whole world gone out their minds
Am G
But no we ride, tried to push us all to the side
G
We know our rights
G Am
Now we get the whole of the pie, then go inside
Am G
When you see that murky flag in the sky
G
Just know it’s I
G Am
The way I topped the charts
Am
Would’ve thought that I was Dave
Am A G
I am young, black, beautiful and brave
G Bm Am
Know that it’s fucked, they’re overlooking what we gave
G
I know shits all good, so we pray for better days

[Bridge]
G Bm Am
Pray they better than before (better than before)
G Bm
Young black king, you are everything and more
Am
(you are everything and more)
G Bm
I know one song’s not enough to settle scores
Am
(not enough to settle scores)
A G
But from the bottom of my heart
G Bm Am
Man, I hope you’re getting yours (getting yours)
G Bm Am
Man, I hope you’re getting yours (getting yours)

[Verse]
G Bm Am
Young black queen, get your shine on
G Bm Am
All I see is innovators, and a bag of icons
G Bm
You can go and ask the whole world
Bm Am
Where they got they style from?
A G
That’s you, that’s us, God’s time
G Bm
And he never gets the time wrong
A
I guess we just some ticking time bombs
Am G
We soon blow (boom)

[Outro]
G B A
I can make world come true
Bm G
All my dreams will see me through
Bm Am
And if that won’t get me down
Am E G
My dreams will turn things all around
Bm A
With a smile upon my face
Am G
I can see a better place
G Bm Am
Doesn’t matter what may come my way
E Gm A G
Believe me now, I will win some day
