Some people survive in the jungle; others exist in the zoo, my brotha. What you gotta do is make a choice. Do you wanna be a lion or do you wanna be lying to yourself? [Verse 1] Ayo I got 2 chains, but these chains still on me Running from the law, but the law been on me Peter Pan, trying to pin down my shadow Got the hammer out, time to go commando Sometimes you jus trying to make that sail go See when I rap, its just a free flow I see which way these tings weave bro I'm at the corner spot, stacking that bail dough Moving the train but the rail slow Will I ever stop? (Ahhhh hell No) Been in the drop with verbs that worthy See in the burbs these herbs get swurvy Put the mental to ya dental bite the curb b Fight me on the nightly, put 1 9 on you Like a Keyshawn Jersey I'm early, no rush, never in a hurry every verse, got a curse, putting in work, since i came out of the dirt, lights out by 3 that's Steph Curry Ain't done wit the trip i'm enjoying the journey fuck around, come off the bench and drop thirty Shit the kid burly, need a bad bitch that's curvy and wanna have a 3-some with Fergie Ya'll muthafuckas heard me! [Hook] Are you a lion, or you lying again? Are you a king, or just playing pretend? Smile for the crowd, let the fantasy spin Everybody loses when the ego wins Are you a lion, or you lying again? Look in the mirror, who's looking back then? Everybody got a story they tell to dey friends But the truth comes around when the record ends [Verse 2] See I remember the days, when Pusha had braids and you needed an A N' R to get DJ plays and you needed a star to make some waves and you needed the bricks to pave those ways but im older now, and the hustle done changed I can see it now, these ain't those old school days but a lion ain't lying to himself that way shit can never just stay the same So I'mma flip a new pack bringing the whole crew back Erry body lined up, they gettin the 2 tap I'm the sound of thunder, get the zoo clapped Same old face, but they wonder, who dat? Its time we had a bully back on the watch Rumble wit the OX, switch blade tucked in the sock Choking these rappers so hard, they eyeballs ull pop The beatings start now, never gonna stop Nasdaq ya index, and murder the stock Coming for ya crew, I'mma murder the flock Rock the mic like stoning Pharisee's, the cops gotta taze me to stop imma get my lick back when you see me on ya block [Hook] Are you a lion, or you lying again? Are you a king, or just playing pretend? Smile for the crowd, let the fantasy spin Everybody loses when the ego wins Are you a lion, or you lying again? Look in the mirror, who's looking back then? Everybody got a story they tell to dey friends But the truth comes around when the record ends
