Everyone said you are the don
Respected, rejected, down trodden and stunned
Hold up your head like the innocent one
Threaten my life, tell me my time will come
Babylon boy with the honey and gold
Robbing the black men, stories of old
Why tell the truth? I cannot be
I am the light that you never see
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
Gimme truth and understanding
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
The voice in your head said I am a thief
You stand on the land and you lie through your teeth
Babylon boy with the honey and gold
Robbing the black men, stories of old
Why tell them truth? I cannot be
I am the light that you never see
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
Gimme truth and understanding
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
Gimme truth and understanding
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
Gimme truth and understanding
You're nasty
I know you want to see me dead
You come on upon my head
I know you want to see me dead
You come on upon my head
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
Gimme truth and understanding
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
Gimme truth and understanding
Oh, nothing more than the lion's roar
