Lyrics & Translation

[English]

There's something missing and I'm pissed

And I've got something to say (Oh yeah)

All of the witches and the demons

Better get out my way (Ay, ay)

I get back up when I fall

Rip the paint from the wall

When I win, I'ma run and take the money

You try to put me in a box

Make me something I'm not

Don't give a fuck 'cause I'm gonna take back

My superpower, my superpower

My superpower

My superpower, my superpower

My superpower

I know I'm not the only one

Who thinks this shit ain't okay (Oh no)

You kick us down in the dirt

But we ain't goin' away (Ay, ay, yeah)

I get back up when I fall

Rip the paint from the wall

When I win, I'ma run and take the money

You try to put me in a box

Make me something I'm not

Don't give a fuck 'cause I'm gonna take back

My superpower, my superpower

My superpower

My superpower, my superpower

My superpower

My superpower, my superpower

My superpower

My superpower, my superpower

My superpower

Don't you wanna be, do you wanna be free?

Say oh-oh-oh-oh

Don't you wanna be, do you wanna be free?

Say oh-oh-oh-oh (Freedom yeah)

Say oh-oh-oh-oh (Freedom yeah)

Say oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah)

My superpower

My superpower, my superpower

My superpower
