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 that I am a thief
You stand on the land and 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
(In their truth and understanding)
(You're nasty!)
I know you want to see me dead...
I know you want to see me dead...
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
