El Dorado Sunrise (Super Chicken) Lyrics

[Chorus]
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken


[Verse 1]
Listen now, I got a story to tell
About a bird who wanted to fly away
You see he knew that he could and he probably would
But his family said they needed him to stay
But his spirit is strong and he's been waiting so long
And he don't really want nobody to tell him daddy wrong
So excuse me I wanna go and kiss the sky
Cause these wings that I was given were inteded to fly

[Chorus]
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
[Verse 2]
Everybody mad at lil' ol' me
Cause I ain't the same bird I used to be
Oh but if you had a dream, something you wanted to do
I sure wouldn't be the one to keep it from you

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't let nobody hold me down
This is my life and that's my sky
I was born to fly

[Chorus]
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken

[Verse 3]
Look it here
This is nothing I should fear
This should down and disappear
I done lost my fear
I don't know if you seen what I saw
But I hope someday you'll see it my way
I believe
I believe
I can breath
I believe I can find some happiness
I know that ya watch me grow but don't worry 'bout me
Cause I'm gonna be ok
I wanna sing, wanna dance, wanna scream, wanna shout
I wanna be everything I am

I ain't nobody's fool
Nobody's child no more
I'm a full grown man
I used to wonder if I could
If I would
If I should and I know I got to know
And now three ain't no doubt in my mind
I can do it, I can do it, I know I can

[Chorus]
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken

[Pre-Chorus]
If I couldn't fly
I might well die
Let me go human, can't go hold my hand no more
Let me go
Let me be, set me free
Let me go

[Chorus]
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken
Super Chicken

Genius Annotation

CeeLo Green mentions “El Dorado Sunrise (Super Chicken)” in his autobiography – “Everybody’s Brother”, stating the importance of the track to what it felt like leaving the Goodie Mob – the rap/hop hop group he was the fourth part – and starting his solo carreer.

“I am still proud of so many songs on the album, like the very wild and wonderful track ‘El Dorado Sunrise (Super Chicken)’ — one of my grand statements about moving on from the Mob — and very personal ‘Gettin’ Grown’ that was like a little musical memoir in its own right.”
