Swashbucklin in Brooklyn Lyrics

My man was workin' at the seafood spot
Sellin' fish 'n chips and dealin' bags of pot
Dressed in a pirates uniform and all
Lookin' like a fool, headin' for a fallHe was walkin' home late one night, God bless
Heard the scream of a woman in immediate distress
[Unverified]
He headed down the alley hoping for the bestHe saw the girl who was screamin' her mouth beat shut
Two guys standin' by her 'bout to get fucked up
He said you don't hit the bitches while I'm still alive
Stabbed on in the neck, the other in the eyeThe girl ran home, told her daddy she was saved
By a pirate with a shiv and a real smooth way
The vision of the pirate would surely never fade
So she called the New York post and tried to get paidSuper hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super heroNow the story ran the following day page two
But swashbucklin' in Brooklyn is all he want to do
I tried to sit him down and think things through
But swashbucklin' in Brooklyn is all he want to doNow he was havin' problems like diving without drowning
The city, the cops, the mob trying to stop him

He needed a psychic that's where I came in
Tell his story to the world, help him with his shitWe cruise down the river, patrolling the docks
Deliverin' justice to eight square blocks
Brooklyn was safe, nobody got shot
We used swords and daggers and kung fu what notsThis kinda shits [unverified] had no choice
Doin' it for free like the village voice
This ends my first installment of the story
He was good kicking ass but bad with the glorySuper hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super heroSuper hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super heroWe cruise down the river patrolling the docks
Deliverin' justice to eight square blocks
Brooklyn was safe, nobody got shot
We used swords and daggers and kung fu what notsThis kinda shits [unverified] had no choice
Doin' it for free like the village voice
This ends my first installment of the story
He was good kicking ass but bad with the glorySuper hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super heroSuper hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super heroSuper hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super heroSuper hero, you're my super hero
Super hero, you're my super hero
