Child of the fire, don't you ever bleed?
King of the jungle, are you ever weak?
For the whole world's turned its back on you
And left you here alone
But the whole world turning it's back on you
Has only made you strong
Lion of the tribe, my nine to five
When the family thrive then I have arrived
Many times deprived so I could provide
Survived through the lies, my drive revived
I try to make sure no one lingers behind
But, somewhere 'round the journey, we lost our pride
Tell me what to do when the cubs decide
They gon' rule themselves, you ever read "Lord of the Flies"?
Lion of the jungle, king of the tribe
The weapon that can stop me has not been devised
My dreams and esteem are up in the skies
Tryna get under my skin, there's nothing to hide
Nobody knows the nights I cried
Loyalty, disappointed, the love denied
Regret is like a shadow it's right beside
But I'm still king of the jungle
They know the vibes, they know they ride
Child of the fire, don't you ever bleed?
King of the jungle, are you ever weak?
For the whole world's turned its back on you
And left you here alone
But the whole world turning its back on you
Has only made you strong
Lion of the tribe, not many like you
Everybody wanna know what you planning to do
And so you up all night, working manically through
Sleep when you die, there's plenty to do
Built the tribe of Judah afresh
Why they hate me?
They know that I do it the best
They know they can't touch my spirit, they shoot at the flesh
But I'm ready for it all, I'm suited and dressed, yeah
Lion of the tribe, I carry my wounds
Clout chasing niggas be tryna get in the news
One thing is certain through all the hate and abuse
Yeah, the lion's coming for you, don't get it confused
And now I know that nobody likes me 'cause nobody's like me
Fake smiles and fake love whenever they sight me
Push me to the wall, thought I wouldn't react?
But the Lion of the jungle, yes, the ruler is back!
And yeah
Child of the fire, don't you ever bleed?
King of the jungle, are you ever weak?
For the whole world's turned its back on you
And left you here alone
But the whole world turning its back on you
Has only made you strong
