Lions

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There were no heroes in the childhoods we braved We once were hunted so you could take away your pain We built ourselves to stand alone in our own way Skin black and blue, because of you [Chorus] You can't control us now We are the lions, that fought through the riot We're not the only ones Who came from the fire, walked on a wire We are the lions We're not the pray you desire You can't control us now We fought through the riot, we conquered the fire [Verse 2] We once were helpless, now we find ourselves engraved With lessons learned, we taught ourselves to find our way We hold our own outside outside from we came We took from you, we hold on, too [Chorus] You can't control us now We are the lions, that fought through the riot We're not the only ones Who came from the fire, walked on a wire We are the lions We're not the pray you desire You can't control us now We fought through the riot, we conquered the fire [Verse 3] We walked a wire 'till we found ourselves Our lives in our hands Straight through a riot burning oxygen We built ourselves to stand We built ourselves to stand To live again [Chorus] You can't control us now We are the lions, that fought through the riot We're not the only ones Who came from the fire, walked on a wire We are the lions We're not the pray you desire You can't control us now We fought through the riot, we conquered the fire
