The Lion

Child of the fire, don't you ever bleed? King of the jungle, are you ever weak? For the whole world's turned its back on you And left you here alone But the whole world turning it's back on you Has only made you strong Lion of the tribe, my nine to five When the family thrive then I have arrived Many times deprived so I could provide Survived through the lies, my drive revived I try to make sure no one lingers behind But, somewhere 'round the journey, we lost our pride Tell me what to do when the cubs decide They gon' rule themselves, you ever read "Lord of the Flies"? Lion of the jungle, king of the tribe The weapon that can stop me has not been devised My dreams and esteem are up in the skies Tryna get under my skin, there's nothing to hide Nobody knows the nights I cried Loyalty, disappointed, the love denied Regret is like a shadow it's right beside But I'm still king of the jungle They know the vibes, they know they ride Child of the fire, don't you ever bleed? King of the jungle, are you ever weak? For the whole world's turned its back on you And left you here alone But the whole world turning its back on you Has only made you strong Lion of the tribe, not many like you Everybody wanna know what you planning to do And so you up all night, working manically through Sleep when you die, there's plenty to do Built the tribe of Judah afresh Why they hate me? They know that I do it the best They know they can't touch my spirit, they shoot at the flesh But I'm ready for it all, I'm suited and dressed, yeah Lion of the tribe, I carry my wounds Clout chasing niggas be tryna get in the news One thing is certain through all the hate and abuse Yeah, the lion's coming for you, don't get it confused And now I know that nobody likes me 'cause nobody's like me Fake smiles and fake love whenever they sight me Push me to the wall, thought I wouldn't react? But the Lion of the jungle, yes, the ruler is back! And yeah Child of the fire, don't you ever bleed? King of the jungle, are you ever weak? For the whole world's turned its back on you And left you here alone But the whole world turning its back on you Has only made you strong
