It's like I woke up one day and felt this chest pain
As a young kid, I couldn't figure it out. Something wasn't right
Felt like a hunger inside. Like there was some kind of animal trapped inside of my heart
One last chance to make the earthquake. Show em why you was put here in the first place

In the distance, see the hospital, my birthplace. I recognize now the shock upon the nurse face
A king was born, sent to tackle all his dreams like Andre the Giant versus Hogan, what it seems like
So defiant as a youngin', now I see right through the soul of that boy
He was scared to face the brightness of that beam of light

Screaming at night, cause his future didn't seem bright
Screws loose, yeah, the structure didn't seem tight
But who knew there was a lion inside. The others thought he was different and so he swallowed his pride
Get it? As he grew, he vowed he wouldn't be denied

He stayed with it, committed to the ways of the daily grind
It was the two of us, the only one that he knew to trust
Was a second voice that he grew to love
One day his heart let out a sound he didn't recognize

Sounded like a demon that a priest would love to exorcise
Scared him at first until he realized what it was
Gave the mirror a smirk, grabbed his bag and hopped on the bus
Writing verses at night, he tried not to cuss

Mom and dad watchin TV while he perfected his touch
So when it came time, he'd come through in the clutch
And when it's game time, he knew he would light it up like a Dutch
Talent show came around, now was his chance

He spit his bars and told his friends to all throw up their hands
That night, he turned his fellow students into fans
All the popular girls invited him to the dance
And while he did the Roger Rabbit, well the lion slept

In his cage, peacefully, until it's time again
To show his teeth, just the two of us is all we need
I know I'll hear him when it's time to eat
One last chance to prove it's mine

One last dance to prove that I refuse to be subdued by the shackles in my mind
There's a lion deep inside
And he's ready to come out and chew a hole in you
So it's best that you stay kind

Fast forward, now he was a proven lyricist
A young phenomenon just like the pyramids
Him and the beast ate together and they drank together
Making songs left and right, they even sang together

Laughed in the sun and cried when it was rainy weather
Rhymes were second to none, it's like the spirits were chained together
He had a son and three daughters that remained forever
A part of his heart, but a never part

With a part where he taught his artists a part from the start
He said it would make it better, and he did
Since he was a kid, he was so clever
Underestimated his skill from the beginning

Now it's nice to see him finally winning
Grinning ear to ear, it's like their Utred and Finnin
With a sword and shield, testing him will lead to your ending
Now tell him all to yield

Tell him we're ready like coach Drake meet us in the field
Yeah we ruthless, but you clueless like Beverly Hills
I tried to tuck him away, but it was similar to Michael Jackson in Thriller
The beast inside just wouldn't stay

When I slept at night, he would come for prey
But it felt good like a crisp breeze on a summer day
That's when I knew I had an issue
Tried to contain it, but I couldn't tame it

Kept firing off like a missile
Historically, I would kill them all metaphorically
But now since they ignore me, they felt my wrath after 40
Put them all under pressure just like I'm Jason McCourty

The only thing that saved us was the blessing from Shorty
She held us down, kept us still when we was feeling naughty
When it was time to chill, she let us out so we could party
We get a chance to show our true skill to everybody

Prove that we was a true boss like John Gotti
The lion inside me came out the dark like a giant Roddy
And AR approached said after the  show meet us in the lobby
One last chance to prove it's mine

One last dance to prove that I refuse to be subdued by the shackles in my mind
There's a lion deep inside
And he's ready to come out and chew a hole in you
So it's best that you stay kind
