Lions - Skip Marley

Some said “never” but the never done come
Yeah, and took our trust
Hate’s been winning, but the lovers ain’t done
Yeah, not on my watch

Yeah, if ya took all my rights away
Yeah, if ya tellin’ me how to pray
Yeah, if ya won’t let us demonstrate
You’re wrong
Yeah, if ya thinking I don’t belong
Yeah, if ya hiding behind a gun
Yeah, if ya thinking I’m gonna run
Ya wrong

We are the lions, we are the chosen
We gonna shine out the dark
We are the movement
This generation
You better know who we are
Who we are

Some said “fire” when the fire was ice
No, and sold a lie
Some may buy it, I’m not paying the price
No, not in this life

Yeah, if ya took all my rights away
Yeah, if ya tellin’ me how to pray
Yeah, if ya won’t let us demonstrate
You’re wrong
Yeah, if ya thinking I don’t belong
Yeah, if ya hiding behind a gun
Yeah, if ya thinking I’m gonna run
Ya wrong

We are the lions, we are the chosen
We gonna shine out the dark
We are the movement
This generation
You better know who we are
Who we are

Deep down in everyone, there’s a little fire
Let me get higher
I’ll fuel the fire
Already high up, I’ll take you higher
Real Congo Nyah, girls admire, well
Living, we growing with pride
All of the lions, we strive
Working so hard to unite
United, we tired of lies

We are the lions, we are the chosen
We gonna shine out the dark
We are the movement
This generation
You better know who we are
Who we are
We are the lions, we are the chosen
We gonna shine out the dark
We are the movement
This generation
You better know who we are
Who we are

Yeah, you know that some said “never” but the never done come
We gonna shine out the dark
Oh, they know that hate’s been winning, but the lovers ain’t done
You better know who we are, who we are
Yeah, if I
