Lion's Ambition

Nobody knows my struggle
I juggle universes in my palms
My iris is packed with sorrows for my tomorrows
My lungs are as black as death; my heart is as hot as a phoenix
I hold fists of hope and hustle with a lion’s ambition

I wish my faith was golden, the devil is a diamond
When I dig out my past, all I see is sins disguised as crystals
I only have two options, to roar or to run
I could stun beauty and spark a lightning connection with miracle watts

Magnet to a manmade mask of materialism
I’m losing Dickens by the minute
I’m Simba and Mufasa intertwined in one
Just penetrated literature, produced poetry, a baby
The chosen one

Young soul in a strange world
Finding jigsaws, solving puzzles
I can barely crack a smile, too Makaveli for pain
If your mind was written, how painful would your pages be?

I’m from the western, born to learn and earn
Burn a few bridges, time throws away temporary forevers
Quantum physics couldn’t tell you about my life
Strategically I have set to shock the status quo
Mathematically I’m doomed in this white man’s world

The wolves lead the sheeps; I’m a lion in the jungle
To drown in perseverance is what I need
Itinerant and scuttling in a situationship
808s and heartbreak, I’m too Kanye for a relationship
Destiny is stepping out of line, my days are clearly not fine wine

It feels like I’m living in my last adventure
I wrestle clouds every night, my confidence fell down a flight of stairs
I’m a man that died twenty years ago resting inside the soul of a soldier
With an eagle eye for success

And a lion’s ambition
