Frustration in my mind, I channel it through my art,
I’m battling with my demons, while they try to take my heart,
Got gifts from above call it the heart of a lion
My mind is alive on overdrive cus I am defiant
Call me Lioness cus my heart is known as stronger,
Say that you’ve bin fighting but I’ve known this shit for longer,
My heart is with those whose names I do not know,
But at night I see it in their eyes, there is fear & it grows,
Because their homes were bombed & now their children cry,
& nobody understands cus everybody’s hearing lies,
So I feel to fight with every breathe that I take,
Fighting for their justice, I’ll pave me a way
I’ll fight for your Liberation & I’ll die in its name,
As long as something that I do takes away some pain,
Every day that I live is leaving me ashamed,
Because the people for whom I speak are still going un-named.
Those who were brought up around insanity & sadness,
Made something out of nothing, dealt with the madness,
And I don’t do this for the happy guy, I’ll tell you why,
Cus every child that dies feels like a child of mine,
Carry the burden of those who have left so near to my heart
Everything that pains me leaves another mark,
But a Lioness holds her pride in her blood,
So I pray for all of those who died & are above,
Seek for your sister & you’ll see me by your side,
I promise that to you, & with a promise I won’t lie,
