"Superhuman" is a word that describes what people who grew up in difficult circumstances are often asked to be: to absorb more, carry more, produce more, without the resources or support that would make any of it easier. Lihtz has been living in that reality since childhood, and the song treats the concept with the ambivalence it deserves. Being superhuman is not a compliment when it means not being allowed to be human. His Universal Music Publishing deal came through the right doors: Future's attention opened a path, and Lihtz used it without losing what made him interesting in the first place. That is not a given. "Superhuman" is the work of someone who understood the assignment well enough to do it on his own terms. 258K monthly Spotify listeners for an independent artist with a difficult backstory and no conventional breakout single is its own kind of superpower. The catalog is building toward something.
