You said you needed me, boy
And I needed you
We could keep on running but the truth (wasn't in control?)

(You're too excessive?)
'Cause the lion never runs
Yeah, the lion never runs
You got me saying things like da-da, da-da-da-da-dam da-da

Dam-dam, da-da-da-da-dam dam
Da-da-da, dam dam
Da-da-da-da-dam dam
Da-da-da

Dam-dam, da-da-da-da-dam dam
Da-da-da, dam dam
Da-da-da-da-da

Dam-dam, da-da-da-da-dam dam
Da-da-da, dam dam
Da-da-da-da-dam dam
Da-da-da

Dam-dam, da-da-da-da-dam dam
Da-da-da, dam dam
Da-da-da-da-da (the lion)

I can finally breath without you
Keeping me from the truth
Sometimes when I'm stuck I need to break away from you

When you're alone, all alone, skin and bones
Stepping out the shadows, living in the darkness
But the lion never rest

When you're alone, all alone, skin and bones
Stepping out the shadows, living in the darkness
But the lion never rest

And I feel flex, all regrets we may have
[?] back and wonder if the light was fired
On the story I'mma write to express

'Cause the lion never runs
Yeah, the lion never runs
You got me saying things like
Da-da, da-da-da-da-dam da-da

Dam-dam, da-da-da-da-dam dam
Da-da-da, dam dam
Da-da-da-da-dam dam
Da-da-da

Dam-dam, da-da-da-da-dam dam
Da-da-da, dam dam
Da-da-da-da-da (let me hear you say)

Dam-dam, da-da-da-da-dam dam
Da-da-da, dam dam
Da-da-da-da-dam dam
Da-da-da

Dam-dam, da-da-da-da-dam dam
Da-da-da, dam dam
Da-da-da-da-da ('cause I'm the lion)
