No Pride

I'm an outcast, I've been chased away from my tribe.
I'm a young maned lion and I have no pride.
I've been bit, bruised and scarred, man I almost died.
I'm a predator on the run, and there isn't a place to hide.

No one at my side, the loneliness overwhelms me.
As well as the dangers out there that I can and cannot see.
Dangers that move ever so subtly through the static in the trees.
While the rays of sunlight torch me, I am an easy target in the cool breeze.
Crouching down low, then freeze, with leaves around me shuffling.
Lips curl away from teeth, my enemies are always prowling me..
but I have no fear because they have no control of me.
I foresee that they will bend on one knee..
to me, the rightful heir, the last timed I checked.
One roar will leave the hair, standing at the back of your neck.
Hit the deck as I'm suddenly attacked, its a battle to the death.
Check-- mate, I'm the young king standing victorious as my enemy takes his last breath.


I'm an outcast, I've been chased away from my tribe.
I'm a young maned lion and I have no pride.
But I survive
as I walk through jungles, deserts and savanna plains.
Scorching sunlight, dodging lightning bolts but not the rain.
I seek pleasure... find pain.
I seek treasure... want fame.
I seek freedom from blame for every single thing..
That shame, guilt and sorrow brings.

The false kings sitting on my throne.
Chased me here, left me to die alone.
Now I'm so far away from home..
And prone to all the dangers of this outside world that I condone.
In the killzone, and there are a number of beasts I slay because I'm still a hunter, not the prey.
Go here and there, slowly climb back up the food chain.. And Take my sweet time, Rome was not built in a day.

I say what I want to say, never afraid to express my feelings.
I'm glad when right, apologize when wrong, give no excuses or endless reasons.
I'm the man for all seasons... None of these challenges can bring me down.
I've faced my demons... And Wrestled those angels to the ground.

I'm Lost and found in no man's land, that's because I don't know what the land owner's name is.
Walk this terrain with no hope, unsure of where to go like I'm blind and faithless.
The wonderful scenery, and enemies pursuing me both leave me breathless.
I get no back up from my Wild Dogs, they say that I am too reckless.
Get distracted by these Hyena females and their Lionesses.
But still I go on and shine bright like a Diamond Necklace.
Teq Is...
Without a crew, without a fam, without a tribe.
I'm a young maned lion and I have... No Pride.
