One Day As A Lion - One Day As A Lion lyrics

Blood soaked earth that you call home close your eyes but don't sleep we comin' like peoples army for the people who can't eat who work with no sleep for the child with no shoes on their feet a generation who flash heat who role up on the banks for their cash see you're the criminal? you got the nerve to ask me tear mics till my voice get raspy faced flame for five centuries and if LA were Baghdad we'd be Iraqi with our straps in the backseat next to a general tied up with sh** in his khakis best leave my mic alone I'm full grown and I'm off to the green zone after dark my city's a fuse after dark my city's a fuse one day I say today we live as a lion blood soaked earth that you call home I heard this cat got life in the pen crossing sand in the back of a truck bed twelve deep heard sirens and lights red was smacked on his dome with the club of a white fed no food no water no rights read he came north to keep his seeds and his wife fed in the middle of the darkest night bled stepped to the law and said you a minuteman wait a minute man talk like that might limit your life span
