The Lion Roars (Mayfield Version)

Stephen Marley

Revelation Pt. II: The Fruit of Life

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

Rose gold watch
All white ring
All black ghosts cruising the Kingston streets
It's the big belly man
Pull up in that Rolls-Royce
Can you hear the waitlist?
Hustle like I'm Bob Marley destined for the greatest
I remember flipping, sleeping on a pissy mattress
Man, overnight, filling in my father's absence
Coming from the bottom
All we did was hustle
Trying to get a dollar with a kilo in the oven
Smoke like a boss
Trench town scars
Shout it like money
I'm just trying to live large
Penthouse suite
Great bowl of weed
Blue Mountain Coffee
Spend time with a G
Look up in the sky
I can make it rain
The son of a legend and his message is the same
I see the tears on your face
Don't you weep, no baby
All this love is not in vain
I shelter you through the rain
The mistakes that I've made
Left us both feeling pain
And the lion roars when she cries
And I don't want her crying no more
Strictly kissing and hugging
It isn't true, whatever, ride or die for sure
She walk with me through the fire
And love is all she requires
She end up under for lying
Running round with them shottas
Brought her to meet the boss
Introduced her to Ragga
She wanted to pay the cost
Her heart is all I desire
We made it through every storm
Now when she cries, it inspires
I see the tears on your face
Don't you weep, no baby
All this love is not in vain
I shelter you through the rain
The mistakes that I've made
Left us both feeling pain
And the lion roars when she cries
Crying like ooh, ooh
And the lion roars when she cries
I've got a lion's pride
She's got a fragile heart
I live a lion's life
She doesn't know that part
I'm giving all I can
She's giving all she's got
Seems we've grown apart
Still we're all we've got
I see the tears on your face
Don't you weep, no baby
All this love is not in vain
I shelter you through the rain
The mistakes that I've made
Left us both feeling pain
And the lion roars when she cries
Crying like ooh, ooh
And the lion roars when she cries
Crying like- Sucking on tears as it falls away
Watching the beat of my heart as I pray
Bringing light through the darkness
Never knew love like this
Sucking on tears as it falls away
Watching the beat of my heart as I pray
Bringing light through the darkness
Through the darkness
Never knew love like this
Ooh
Through the darkness
Love like ooh
