Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Question my passion
You question my judgment
Question my loyalty
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Question my devotion
But the question is what makes
You think you can question me?
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
See the music that's flowing through my veins
Is a gift to me from my family
Don't mess around
[Verse 4]
You ain't gotta say it, you ain't gotta say it
Feel it in your spirit every time you play it
We become the reason the music survives
Take away the fam, and the music dies
[Verse 5]
Ho
The other ones can't pin this alive
Without the family, the music dies
Never let the music die
Oh, Never let the music die
Never let it die, no
[Verse 6]
Never let the music die
Never let the music die
No, no, no, hey, don't let it die
[Verse 7]
Yo, I'm king
You don't understand, you don't understand
I am not the man, I employ the man
I do not pretend, I do not pretend
I am every single thing I say I am
[Verse 8]
Music got me feeling like I'm Superman
Flyin' through the air, looking down on your residence
Coming through your speaker, and I know you're lovin' it
If I went away then you would trip like where the hell you at?
I know, I know you need me
I know you need me
[Verse 9]
I set the standards 'cause the standards is what we be
If you approach a lion hungry you will see teeth
Nobody messing with the family
[Verse 10]
You ain't gotta say it, you ain't gotta say it
Feel it in your spirit every time you play it
We become the reason the music survives
Take away the fam, and the music dies
[Verse 11]
Woo
The other ones can't pin this alive
Without the family, the music dies
Never let the music die
Never let the music die
Never let it die
[Verse 12]
Never let the music die
Never let the music die
No, no, no, hey, don't let it die
[Verse 13]
We're a family
Oh, never let it die
Addicted to music
No, no, no, never let it die
We the lions
