Lion Cub

And on the 3rd day God created the earth
Spring Baby descended when Mother Nature gave birth
Away with the birds
Meditating lyrics, got a way with the words
My favourites rehearsed
It's, raw when I'm illustrating a verse
One hand in the paint, one paw in the dirt
I bring my creations to life with a mixture
But the forbidden fruit has been picked up
Blood, sweat n tears on my Adams & Eves
Spew ink on the mic and turn scriptures to pictures
Spitting on the canvas
Reciting mantras
I'm rolling with pride among spiteful panthers
Cause I... Am a calculated predator
Meditation alone because I fear my prayers (Prey is) being intercepted
The hyenas are listening
Outside of the Christening
The Spring Baby became the Lion Cub
Just silently whistling
I am... A calculated predator
The work of my own creation
It may sound paradoxical
But I am my own self portrait
Reinventing myself as I please
I need to grow
I need to breathe
My life is like a room of scribbled out bars
And a bin overflowing with crumpled paper balls from my notebook
Refusing to accept mediocrity
Descendant of Apollo. I'm a modern day Socrates
Sometimes I even question my own philosophies
To never settle for the person I know I wanna be
My best trait is my worst trait
Demanding more from myself always because I know I can do better...
I know I can do better

(Oh yes, the past can hurt
But the way I see it you can either run from it or learn from it)

I know I can do better
So I lock away inside my room
Wrap myself in a cocoon
And drift...
Away with the birds
Meditatin lyrics, got a way with the words
My favourites rehearsed
Roar when I'm illustrating a verse
One hand in the paint, one paw in the dirt
Happy tears seeing what I've illustrated
(Take heed when Ley Speaks)
Tryna paint a vivid picture for the segregated
(I've inherited the gift of Midas on my tongue)
Misinterpret my art until I demonstrate it
(I created the Golden Son)
But that's the difference between the sheep and the educated
(They don't overstand I'm the chosen one)
Heavens appointed
Heavily anointed
I'm not just fighting my demons
I'm wrestling with Nephilim

Pierced by the shards
The shattered glass, of broken dreams

(Guess even Kings get scared huh?)

Nightmares in my home
Got me scared to the bone
So how you gonna tell me that I'm heir to the throne?
I don't even know if I'm worthy of the crown but
I'm sharpening my paws and my hairs getting long

I'm tryna be the black Rapunzel
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
I'm moving anti, they say I'm uncool
They're just disgruntled
A bunch'a cheetahs
Spot them out from a thousand metres...

(The lion is poised
Observing from afar
It looks like he's wounded
But it's quite hard to tell without getting close to him.
Problem is nobody can get close to him)

What doesn't kill you makes you harder
I stopped working hard when I learned to work smarter
Direction is way more important than speed
So if I get Scar'd I'm not tryna Mufasa
If you get to hear me raw please don't react with laughter
Cause I am just a Lion Cub
