elijiah - lion's head lyrics

verse 1
was told i was weak all my life
told i was a freak all my life
i’m a lover not keen on the fight
cause of that i wouldn’t have a queen by my side
nicknamed oreo duh black outside inside sweetened and white
first hit was the color of my face next it was my size and my height
realized that no one’s my kin
started with no brethren
i had to toughen my skin
i made some changes within
they asking what’s with the switch up
i’m not one of your b+tches
i’m not here to pacify
i’m trying to take back what’s mine
take back my idеntity spirit
this bull got his h+rns don’t get near it
changed that rеaction they shocked i snapped and
chased after them i’m piercing
they souls with my music
changed energy i’m moving
behold the whole control i own
over my foes it’s amusing
i had my villain arc
no lit up heart
no tony stark
thought i had went too far
i guess my heart
ain’t all that dark
never fought with fists or with swords
rather be hit than be scorned
soon i learned how to wage war with words
wield the pen like excalibur

chorus
took me a long time to be cool with being me
that’s cause i only f+ck with authenticity
they wanna push me out hoping i’d be dead
they put me in the lion’s den
i came out with the lion’s head
with the lion’s head
i came out with the lion’s head
with the lion’s head
they put me in the lion’s den
i came out with the lion’s head

verse 2
hopped off the benches into the trenches
got big boy pants i’m in the business
i made investments lots of expenses
got passed the lesson of who to let in
been warned of b+tches like they were cryptids
ignored the big kids they’re born to fit in
the frauds i ditched them i joined the misfits
we formed a friendship brainstormed a vision
evaded all the fakes addicted to the real
starving while we’re grinding we were missing meals
this growth is for the soul soul food keeps us filled
this ain’t a game i ain’t brady but let’s make a deal
i’ll give you someone great my time and in exchange
give me your money tour dates and promote my name
you won’t play me as if i’m one of your dolls
they wanted k but he’s gone
eli came now he’s the boss
chorus
took me a long time to be cool with being me
that’s cause i only f+ck with authenticity
they wanna push me out hoping i’d be dead
they put me in the lion’s den
i came out with the lion’s head

bridge
many men would die for this
and many men have cried for this
many men try for this
and many men lie for this
some men did some time for this
and many traded crime for this
many men rely on this
and many took their lives with this

verse 3
what’s the cost of entry
will it cost my family
will it cost my friends be
cause they just can’t deal with envy
will i at least be trendy
and will my peers commend me
i feel my input’s plenty
when i’m done will i be empty
i used to hope i’d make cause the bars were brilliant
i don’t need to hope cause if i want i will it
you should call me usher cause i got no limit
i don’t have no ice but i been the chillest
had some hard times yeah i’ve been through sh+t
end of my run i want to leave a legacy
yeah back then i wasn’t into it
now i just want someone to remember me
