Music Pass/Fail: Black Lightning Theme Song by Godholly

[INTRO]
Five-O, Five-O lets get up outta here c'mon

[Chorus]
We pray at night for the helpless (Pray at night)
Hoping you get us through breakfast (Hoping)
Wishing somebody comes save us (Black)
Black Lightning's back, come to shock the haters (Lightning)

[TRANSITION]
Five-O, Five-O lets get up outta here c'mon

[VERSE 1]
Woke up in the ghetto, we need our hero back
Guns clapping, gangs active, like where we at?
Black lightning needs to strike like where we at
Show us another way besides these guns and crack
Night time, suit up, this for payback
This our Superman, Robin and the Bat
Step back you might get shocked off a contact
This one for the hood
This for being Black
We ain't got no hope they killing every day
I mean we need you in every way
We need results, we don't need to see your face
Here he come, just to save the day
Here he come, just in perfect timing
To help the needy and guide the blinded
I saw a superhero last night he was black
He said this is for the street Black Lightning's back

[Chorus]
We pray at night for the helpless (Pray at night)
Hoping you get us through breakfast (Hoping)
Wishing somebody comes saves us (Black)
Black Lightning's back, come to shock the haters (Lightning)

[TRANSITION]
Five-O, Five-O lets get up outta here c'mon

[VERSE 2]
Aye
No lies seen him with my own eyes
Electric shocking guys put them all in line
Bout time somebody come down here and dealt with crime
Not just the gangsters the police is outta line
So there is no trust they don't understand our trouble
I don't be knowing myself but do we come from struggle?
Because I'm like no superheroes around here bruh ( I ain't see them)
I mean he gotta be one of us (Gotta be)
Got to understand the hate and the distrust (Got to)
Restore the feeling put the love in us (Got to)
My partner say I'm high, must be smoking something (You might be right)
I said you right I know the change, I know I'm feeling something
Stand up for something or for anything
Lightning came with no rain
I saw a superhero last night he was black
He said this is for the hood Black Lightning's back

[Chorus]
We pray at night for the helpless (Pray at night)
Hoping you get us through breakfast (Hoping)
Wishing somebody comes saves us (Black)
Black Lightning's back, come to shock the haters (Lightning)

[Outro]
Five-O, Five-O lets get up outta here c'mon

Fans of The CW’s superhero shows are finally getting what they’ve wanted.

Characters from Black Lightning will make an appearance in the network’s forthcoming Arrowverse crossover “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” the network confirmed at the Television Critics Association summer press tour Sunday morning.

Black Lightning has been separate from the Arrowverse shows since it premiered in 2018; however, the premise of this year’s crossover made this the right time to bring Black Lightning into the fold, according to CW president Mark Pedowitz.

“The whole theory of ‘Crisis on Infinite Earths’ is that alternative universes collapse,” Pedowitz told reporters Sunday. “This is a DC property. We felt that it might be the right time if [executive producer Salim Akil] was interested in doing it. We had a conversation with Salim, and he said, yes, it made a lot of sense to make the connection at this point. He’s in his own universe. He is doing his own thing. We would not have done it if he had not signed off on it.”

Furthermore, Kevin Conroy, who famously voiced Batman on Batman: The Animated Series, will also make an appearance as Bruce Wayne from the future. Of course, Conroy previously voiced this role on Batman Beyond, which was set many years in the future and followed an elderly Bruce Wayne as he mentored a new Batman.

In addition to announcing those two castings, The CW also revealed when “Crisis on Infinite Earths” will begin with Supergirl on Sunday, Dec 8; followed by Batwoman on Monday, Dec. 9 and The Flash on Tuesday, Dec. 10. Following the winter hiatus, the crossover will resume on Tuesday, Jan. 14 with Arrow at 8 p.m. and Legends of Tomorrow at 9:00 p.m.

Based on the iconic DC Comics event, the crossover will also feature Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch as Superman and Lois Lane, along with Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor; LaMonica Garrett pulling double duty as both The Monitor and the Anti-Monitor, the crossover’s big bad; and Legends star Brandon Routh as the Kingdom Come version of Superman, 13 years after he played the Man of Steel in Superman Returns.

Black Lightning returns for its third season Monday, Oct. 7 at 9 p.m. on The CW.
