Jon Bellion - When The Lions Come Lyrics

When the lions come and they turn to fight
Will you lose your soul? Will
You lose your pride?
'Cause the only thing they need's to
Smell a drop of fear inside, yeah
When the lions come, will you turn to fight?

Yeah, they tried to stop me
Tried to box me in the ring but I'm Rocky
Indeed I'ma rumble
If the lions come, I am, uh
Gonna be deemed new king of the jungle
I came from the bottom where
It's not a problem
You know they got iron and chrome
And they fire at domes
And they hold more grams
Than retirement homes
I made it out all on my own
The homies know I was alone
But they be calling my phone
If they needed some money
In other words I was a loan
Now I'm in the zone
Should have been another statistic
But I said, "F*ck it, I'll risk it"
Looked death right in the face
And I kissed it
No evidence and no trace of the lipstick
Now ain't nobody gon' stop me now
Ain't nobody gon' knock me down
I'm from the school of the hard knocks
Breaking doors down, they tryna lock me out
If you stayed to fight then
You might have won
But they caught your ass 'cause
You tried to run me, Jon B
Blaque Keyz in a fighting stance
When the lions come

Woah oh, woah oh oh, oh

When the lions come and they turn to fight
Will you lose your soul? Will
You lose your pride?
'Cause the only thing they need's to
Smell a drop of fear inside, yeah
When the lions come, will you turn to fight?

Uh, yeah, lemme get it like this
Lemme rip it like this
So sick, don't spit, I vomit
Bomb it, wearing the freshest of garments
Blowing up, yeah, we the bombest
Never cocky, I'm just
Honest, reppin' artaniS, woah
Maryland what I be reppin' the
Second I step in i murder like weapon
Let me bring the tech and
I'll hit ya like Tekken, i'm gone
Whatever record I'm on
I just wreck it then I'm gone
R-A double T-P-A-C-K, V's up, all day, yeah
We do it our way
I push white keys like Beethoven
While Blaque Keyz drop 16s
Like the Sistine, that's so mean, hell yeah
That's so clean
Can I get it? Lemme get it, I gotta get it
I gotta spit it from the heart
Lemme tear it apart living the real life
Everybody wanna wonder what it feel like
Rock with a drop top, living on top
Lemme get it, I gotta get it to pop
When they boppin' they head
When they rockin' the bed
If I couldn't do this then I'd be dead, yeah

Woah oh, woah oh oh, oh

When the lions come and they turn to fight
Will you lose your soul? Will
You lose your pride?
'Cause the only thing they need's to
Smell a drop of fear inside, yeah
When the lions come, will you turn
(Beautiful Mind)

Man, it's unreasonable to think that
Keyz won't leave MC's extinct
I never had a reason to until now to
Get that spear and hit that Jeep
See me swervin' like Steve Irwin
Through herds of nervous MCs
I sink my teeth in their verses
Each feature becomes a feast
Lay back, relax in my den
Get paid from the royalties
And bring it back to the pack
And just let my family eat
I'm a predator on this beat
Every metaphor is my prey
My roar rumbles your feet
I'll place your head on my tray
I'm lettin' your girl pat me
Run fingers all through my mane
The pride of a dyin' breed
With ferocity in my veins
At the top of the food chain
The philosophy is the same so live properly
So one day they won't throw you in no cage
Keyz is king of the jungle
No rumblin' with the snakes
You runnin' when I'm on the prowl
I pounce you can't keep the pace
You know I've been earning stripes
Got zebra print on my face
Got to make it apart of ya
See the world through my wardrobe like Narnia

Woah oh, woah oh oh, oh beautiful Mind
