Lyrics

It's a jungle out there and life is unfair For the ones left to scrap for the scrapes Generations have grown in the same situation Tribal warfare, chattel slavery and now taxes The people never have enough and children are born fatherless And families have no one to rely on So, from blood sweat and tears the solution appears The pride needs defending by a Lion Will you be the one? Oh, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets Will you be the one? Oh, to keep moving forward and never retreat In this jungle out there with so many limitations Set intentionally just for us to fail With your plans in motion and standing in your power And strength from your Lioness you're bound to prevail The mission is for those who can endure And won't stand for injustice and oppression, no more And the journey is for everyone to share When the Lions are leading, there is nothing to fear (Will you be the one?) Will you be the one? Oh, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets Will you be the one? Ooh, to keep moving forward and never retreat A future for the youth must be priority Establishing a nation where they all will be free To focus on spiritual cultivation And find themselves through ancient preparation In this jungle out there some people mek the evil rule dem nature Turning life into a rat race And the youths dem head a burn 'cause the only thing they're learning From those people how to rob you to your face Instead of giving them guidance and encouragement You're provoking them daily, giving rise to resent But the tension that they're building up inside Will find direction and purpose in the Lion pride Will you be the one? Ohh, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets Will you be the one? Oh, to keep moving forward and never retreat Ooh- 'Cause it's a jungle out there Will you be the one? Ooh, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets Will you be the one? Ooh, to keep moving forward and never retreat A future for the youth must be priority Establishing a nation where they all will be free So, the Lionesses rise to the occasion And nurture them with conscious meditation In this jungle out there, life is unfair For the ones left to scrap for the scrapes Generations have grown in the same situation Tribal warfare, chattel slavery and now taxes The people never have enough, children are born fatherless And families have no one to rely on So, from blood sweat and tears the solution appears The pride needs defending by a Lion (Yeah)
