The Lion Goes from Strength to Strength

Well check it out y'all, well check it out y'all
Here comes an MC that don't fuck around y'all
Well check it out y'all, well check it out y'all
Here comes an MC that don't fuck around y'all

Yeah, I've got some news you dudes could use
It might help you all get by
You caught the breeze by surprise
Here comes the real deal, this is the real deal
Spin the wheel wheel, spin the wheel wheel
You got to know the real reason why we're doing this
So many ruined this, because they're new in this
You know the system with the radio stations overplayed
So many underrated, so many overpaid
Now you can put it down in books to make a simple story
Fuck the fame and the glory, I feel better if they don't know me
Till you stand where I'm standing you'll never know what I mean
Mean, this is not a joke scene
And amateurs are getting paid highly
Sometimes you'll never get to your professional smacker
We all subdue some with the willpower
Plus the rapper got the lyrics and the DJ got the deck power
Hour hour every hour take a power shower
You pick a flower while I take the torch to the tower
No sleep, finally got to close his eyes
And the rest of the world now realize
That I am not a Jackanory rapper saying rhymes all day
Through the night about bullshit, huh
Silly silly rhyming got me worked up
First they had me jerked up, now I'm the powerful yeah
Beaten to the ground but then I get up
And now I smell a setup and you know it gets me fed up
And so I tell them all that that's the way that it is
And you're the fucking sellout, when it comes to the real biz

The lion goes from strength to strength
You can't fuck with it
The lion goes from strength to strength
Haha, diddly rhymes
Diddly rhymes y'all
Well check it out y'all
Yeah, the lion goes from strength to strength
Haha, diddly rhymes
Diddly rhymes y'all
Here comes the breakdown

One, two, three, four
Simple simple Simon had you tricked
And most of the people that I know are getting their butts kicked
So I tell them all that we can't F around
Now check us out, check us out, while I break it down, break it down
I looked around and what do I see?
So many brothers signing names on the line but they ain't free
When it comes to the business you got to witness the lyrical fitness
'Cause we're in this together
Forever more, this type of rapper's staying raw
They can't ignore, I hit them for a 64
Pick a bone, pick a bone, pick a bone, pick a
Name is on the sticker, and I'm the rhyme kicker
Trouble funk trouble the funk this is what you get
Place your bet, on your marks get set
Go, you go, you go, you go
You did it for the record can you do it for the show?
Well I don't think so, but that's another issue
Once again and I'm the one riding the rhythm
It ain't the rhythm riding me 'cause I can get with them
'Cause I'm the true blue, many don't have a clue
But that's the way I grew, and so I'm breaking through

You know the lion goes from strength to strength
You can't fuck with it
The lion goes from strength to strength
Haha, diddly rhymes
Diddly rhymes y'all
Well check it out y'all
Yeah, the lion goes from strength to strength
You can't fuck with it
The lion goes from strength to strength
Here's the breakdown, uh

You bastard
This indoctrination of vocal harassment was compiled by our own
Juvenile division in preparation for the concert this weekend
One, two, three, four

Something for the all I had it to the max so I tell the facts
There's way too much garbage being put on wax
Some agree, some they don't, where's the argument?
Making rap records doesn't seem to pay the rent
Still I say fuck it, it ain't about the docket
It ain't about the docket, and I'm about to rock it
Go with the rules of systems that's what they all say
I get them anyway, and make my getaway
We got the funky type of shit that brought in your mind
Rewind to find the kind you're blind, look into the future
Some of them are leaders some of them are sheep
Some they fall asleep, they've got no style that they can keep
Individuals can feel the pressure we're under
Make them wonder, come at you like thunder
Now or never, got to stick together now forever
Go check the weather, some are dumb, some are clever
Mentally, first I track it down instrumentally
Vocally on the stage I'm potentially
Something like a time bomb straight in your face
Bam, and I don't give a damn
Really really going for the kill again
Never stand still again I see you take the pill again
And so I think about it for a second I clear my brain
And then I'm back again

You know the lion goes from strength to strength
You can't fuck with it
The lion goes from strength to strength
Diddly rhymes, diddly rhymes
Diddly rhymes y'all

Oh shit, man you got people all over the fucking world
They can do the rhymes but they don't know jack shit
That's what it's all about man
People think that they can control what you're doing but that's doodoo
Man you don't understand that
I got my hands in their necks sleeping they're making faces at me
And thinking he's cool, yo I'm down with that
Yo Nyko man, I got a message for you
You don't know nothing, you know it
Yo, remember this
The lion goes from strength to strength
You can't fuck with it
The lion goes from strength to strength
Diddly diddly rhymes
The lion goes from strength to strength
You can't fuck with it
The lion goes from strength to strength
Come on then, come on
The lion goes from strength to strength
You can't fuck with it
The lion goes from strength to strength
Diddly rhyming
The lion goes from strength to strength
You can't fuck with it
The lion goes from strength to strength
Where's the ending, where's the ending?
Yo where's the ending, where's the ending?
Yo where's the ending, where's the ending?
Yo where's the ending, where's the ending?
Well ha, this is what I'm recommending
Uh
