Superfriend
Deborah Joy Imani Winans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're here now
But then they're gone (oh)
Where they at, I don't know
Hey, oh they hit the door
That kinda friend I gotta let go
A super (friend) a super (friend)
Yes sir I got me one of them
I got me a super friend
No sir there's nothing half way about Him
This world could never be made without Him
No heart no breath no mind
No sun no moon no time
He's something like the best of them
He's nothing like the rest of them
[Chorus]
Lord I'm so weak and scared to run
What have I done to deserve a life like this
The devil's scared to fight us in the light
He hides in the midst of religion
But I know that my God is listening there for me
There's a greater mission
You're no girl, you're no man, but a plan for greater peace
I'll fight for the light until my flesh falls deceased
I'm fighting the devil, fighting police
And in the church Lord I'm looked at as Satan
Cause in my music I curse
But I'm trying to do better and that's the thing that really hurts
All this sex and the drugs in my life mean nothing
When my Superfriend hugs me at night tears come rushing
There's no kryptonite, no dealing no lie that could be told
That can separate the power that you have over my soul
So stunting is a habit when I'm gripping this mic
Y'all thinking I'm a pimp but I'm trying to be like Christ
In real life yeah
[Chorus]
He heard me before I made a sound
Caught me before I hit the ground
He knows everything I need
Before I tell him anything
Loves me without requirements
Cant see Him but it's evident
He's something like the best of them
Said He's nothing like the rest of them
[Chorus]t
Can't nobody do me like my Superfriend
Can't nobody do me like my Superfriend (no) [Repeat: x2]

They're here now
I have friends around me now
But then they're gone (oh)
But they disappear when I need them
Where they at, I don't know
I don't know where they go when I need them

They leave me when things get tough

He is the greatest of all friends
He's nothing like the rest of them

Lord I'm so weak and scared to run
I am afraid of facing my troubles
What have I done to deserve a life like this
I question my life's purpose
The devil's scared to fight us in the light
The devil is afraid of the power of our faith
He hides in the midst of religion
The devil uses religion to hide his evil plans
But I know that my God is listening there for me
But I know that my super friend is always there for me
There's a greater mission
My life has a greater purpose
You're no girl, you're no man, but a plan for greater peace
My super friend is not a human, but a plan to bring peace

I will keep fighting for what is right, even if it kills me
I'm fighting the devil, fighting police
I am fighting against evil forces and corrupt authority
And in the church Lord I'm looked at as Satan
Some people in the church misunderstand me
Cause in my music I curse
My music may have curse words in it
But I'm trying to do better and that's the thing that really hurts
But I am trying to improve myself and it hurts that some people don't see it
All this sex and the drugs in my life mean nothing
My past sins are meaningless now
When my Superfriend hugs me at night tears come rushing
My super friend's love brings me to tears
There's no kryptonite, no dealing no lie that could be told
Nothing can weaken or deceive my super friend
That can separate the power that you have over my soul
Nothing can break the bond between me and my super friend
So stunting is a habit when I'm gripping this mic
I tend to act flashy when I'm performing
Y'all thinking I'm a pimp but I'm trying to be like Christ
Some people misunderstand my intentions
In real life yeah
But in reality, I want to emulate Christ
He heard me before I made a sound
My super friend knows my thoughts before I even speak them
Caught me before I hit the ground
My super friend has saved me from falling before
He knows everything I need
My super friend provides for my needs
Before I tell him anything
My super friend knows what I need before I even ask
Loves me without requirements
My super friend loves me unconditionally
Cant see Him but it's evident
I cannot see my super friend, but I know He is there
Can't nobody do me like my Superfriend
No one can compare to my super friend's love and support
Can't nobody do me like my Superfriend (no)
There is no substitute for my super friend's love and support
