Haile Selassie

I been through so many problems
I won't break a sweat
If you tell me I'm dyin'
I'd bet you lyin'
I'd look to god on my knees
And I'd tell him I needed more time
Give me a sign!
Askin' these niggas to be me
Is askin' a CZ to shine - just like a diamond
I swear they domestic as fuck
It's in they design, they really feline
Me? I'm a lion
They really be lyin'
But me? I'm a lion
They really just lies
I see the disguise
They don't understand
The heart of a lion
It's all bout the pride

God he used to watch me cry
Blood all in my shotty eyes
I got Numinatti ties
Lion like Selassie I
I got the drip, I got the sauce, I got the IV
I Respect I Eternally
I'm feelin' IRIE
They see the pain, the enemies slain
Whenever they find me
Write it in ink, all on my skin
Just to remind me
The story been told, from 40 below
To deserts in high heat
The scars on my back, the holes in my hands
The blisters on my feet
How can a man be like a God?
Breed like a squad?
How can a man be like a God?
Breed like a squad?
How can a man breathe heaven?
Is evil a fraud?
How can a man be like a God?
Be like a God

I been through so many problems
I won't break a sweat
If you tell me I'm dyin'
I'd bet you lyin'
I'd look to god on my knees
And I'd tell him I needed more time
Give me a sign!

But me? I'm a lion
They really just lies
I see the disguise
They don't understand
The heart of a lion
It's all bout the pride

Everything I do is for the fam for the fam
You know it's how I move through these lands
Landing punches I got wounds on these hands
You can kill in my sleep but what ensues it will last
Pulling you into the dirt if you fucking me
Then you know that it's true
If I'm hungry I'm eating ill treat you as supper
I hunt in the jungle for food
Running around all I smell is the blood
And I love it got nothing to prove
I come thru like rumbles of thunder
In summer I'm one with the sun and the moon
Who, want it I got you need it like water
I'm talking to god and I bleed like a martyr
I'm planting the seeds in the garden
It's hundred degrees and I'm starving out here
I got stomach pains through the sun and rain
I aint ever gonna change ill be stuck in chains

I been through so many problems
I won't break a sweat
If you tell me I'm dyin'
I'd bet you lyin'
I'd look to god on my knees
And I'd tell him I needed more time
Give me a sign!
