Had this friend 6th grade back in private academy Used get cuss words and dirty jokes out of me We came up in the church but we broke all the rules On all those porn sites we would visit after school I cited it as the start of my addiction to porn Even now it makes the dance of love hard to perform Used to love his neighborhood cause mine was no good Used to build forts out behind his house in the woods Little hideouts from my life back on Churchview Where neighbors smoked crack and I thought the world would hurt you Mamma always said patience was a virtue But I was ready to f*ck and for pussy to burn through Used to talk about girls in the class Especially the ones whose tits grew fast Looking back it seems kinda strange I thought that's how boys were meant to talk at that age Thought he had a good life, much better than mine They had money, cable, HBO and Showtime But sometimes it would be late in the night This kid would get real sad and he would talk about life Said that he was depressed thought about slitting his wrists Said he didn't even know if God could exist And this was the first male that I'd ever seen cry Made me think he might be gay at the time What the f*ck did he ever have to cry about With every new game console in that big ass house One day we were playing smash on 64 When an older kid with a shovel pounded on the door Said it was something we should probably ignore Until he pounded so loud you could feel it through the floor Then my man stepped out on his roof with a longbow Drew it back with a real ass arrow Told this kid he'd put it through his bone marrow Dead serious eyes all narrowed I was pretty scared so my memory's impaired But in my head he put it through his leg right there Can't remember what his folks told mine or what they said they'd do I'm pretty sure both kids got 302'd Was waiting for my mom up in his room Had this feeling in my gut like the world was doomed A black poster with a red S hung over his bed White print in quotes read Superman's dead It's faster than a speeding bullet Can't look back Stronger than a locomotive Leaves a lip fat Able to keep buildings in a single bound While able to keep angel wings tethered to the ground Look up in the sky It's a bird it's a plane It's life leaving superman's cape blood stained My best friend coming up was an addict We'd only ever kick it when he was kicking his habits I was kinda straight edge, I wasn't about it My girl's folks had habits that had left her skied clouded My family lore stated we were alcoholics So I stayed away from all that untill my friends went off to college Picked him up from parties when he was off the wagon Did everything I could to keep my man from chasing dragons We were family and I was most happy When I lived down in Shadewell with his Nunny and his Pappy Our passion was music and we made a couple albums Probably wouldn't do what I do today without him We were chasing life and we had it by the horns Played a couple gigs I'll probably never outperform I was running from bad nights when mom and dad would fight He was running from a future on the streets with a pipe Felt like we were running shit and everything felt right Like our traumas couldn't ever resurface for a fight But life had me fucked up and before I knew it I was the addict, I was the one that blew it I recall a time when our habits overlapped He was off his rocker on a bender talking facts That he was Jesus Christ and that he'd come back For all of his apostles to take them to a land that Flowed with milk and honey for all who follow God's tracks Had to tell him that it all sounded wack We should call his Aunt we should dial this all back I joked that he was racist 'cause Jesus is black He said after all those years we made music Thought you were my brother James, but you were just my Judas His Aunt was worried that he might be schizophrenic I felt shame over how our friendship ended Life's a lot shame that you gotta deal with Life's a lot of pain that would push you to your limits In a lot of ways he didn't sound so crazy Kind of been wishing I was Jesus Christ lately We all want the power to keep fam out the red But everybody's beat since Superman's dead It's faster than a speeding bullet Can't look back Stronger than a locomotive Leaves a lip fat Able to leap buildings in a single bound While able to keep angel wings tethered to the ground Look up in the sky It's a bird, it's a plane It's life leaving Superman's cape blood stained Both of these kids ended up good One works with schizophrenics the other impoverished neighborhoods So I wonder how I ended where I'm at A marriage in the can with dreams that never come back Still wonder who the f*ck I can blame I'm still stuck with the fear and the shame Still got those beer muscles when I drink Still tussle with the thought that I could change everything Still rustle through the closet for that old red cape Want to sacrifice myself for everybody's sake But every time I ever want to give I only take And that's because I've always been the one who needs saved Until then I'm really no good to anyone Until then I'm only as good as a loaded gun In a toddler's hand thinking that it'd probably be fun To let off a couple rounds in the yellow sun It's high time I spit out what I was fed About being a man who saw through anything but led Gotta quit fighting the world Fight my demons instead Gotta save myself 'cause Superman's dead It's faster than a speeding bullet Can't look back Stronger than a locomotive Leaves a lip fat Able to leap buildings in a single bound While able to keep angel wings tethered to the ground Look up in the sky It's a bird, it's a plane It's life leaving superman's cape blood stained
