Lion

Don't know what could hold me down Found home in my homies now Homeostasis is my basis now Hone in, my aim is to make a place get loud Found rhythm, — learned nothing is given Listen, all this can be taken So take a breath and pace your rest Then make a step, you could yourself when i didn't Thought i was finished I couldn't see Vision been waiting for me End was a better beginning Day is whatever you make it Your fate could be yours for twisting I had a wish, life could be better than this I could get up i got loving to live Someone to kiss, something bout kids Injustice to fix and something to give What is it? I left the past to start moving on Found the things that moved me, and music that had me doing songs Family that'd prove me wrong, grow me strong Hold me close, and told my soul it'd be alright, Show me light like dawn after the darkest night It's been a minute since knowing pain This the sound of feeling, and healing, and having more to say Resilience when life's wild, while it's also known to tame What happens to a lion if it ain't allowed grow its mane? When you haven't had happinesses up in your soul And your passion is passive, like you ain't feeling whole Whatever happened, the past gon be up to you to write Let's reimagine where chapters go in the future like Who recites is who decides, it's you who gets to choose your life How you view your plight, lose, take roots, or to use the fight To fuel your light, — I grew to fight, in the booth with mics Spewing lines all through the night, til you and i could reunite Do this right, use the rhymes to glue a pride Renewing life, this living was a prison, now we're overdue in time And we are on track, we are on songs, the past is prologue Ae are on trails, on a good path all along Supposed to be a king, life keeps testing me But i keep questioning this quest that's been set for me Thinking that's best, but that's just what gets to me This life's a jungle, yes, but that don't mess with destiny I'm done running, I'm coming to stage coming to terms, and I'm coming of age Now I'm coming with words, and I run with a herd So I'm coming to work — hard in humbling ways, I'm firm and I'm sure, and I've learned that I've got something to say With substance and grace plus some toughness to face Now rage, rage against the dying of the day Like a lion vying for its prey, kill it I've been trying to pray That my grind over time will take shape, my life full of days Where I ain't dying to live, or living to die, I rewire the cage I try to create cuz i'm tired of escape I put my life in a tape, make the pain a fight to relate When you download It's my life that you're trying to save Tied to the lines, I feel free, I know where I'm bound This the sound of a lion vibin' to loud roars from a crowd Although life will give you scars, leave your mark on your kingdom Everything the light touches is the home that you sing from
