Lionz, Bring it Up
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Lions, bring it up, lions, ooh
Lions, bring it up, lions, ooh
Lions–Lions–Lions–Lions
Lions, ooh, ooh, ahh, woo!
Ahh! Woo!
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Gee I know I'm not high and my eyes isn't red
Separate me from the rest i feel like I'm the best
I'm old enough to know better young enough to not give a fuck
But no I will not accept what the media says
And the song's stuck in my head I can't take no more
I've been working like a slave oh lord
Shades dark flag bright wallet chain chrome horse
From the wind storm I've been told the street folklore
[Refrain: Mos Def]
You should just how much you got there?
Got the club shit that you catch on the dial
[Verse 2: Mista Mister]
And her whole tongue glitter, ooh-ooh
Bet a bird for a battle I'mma show up quicker
Somethin' like Murley but it goes much deeper
But that's the truth though, in fact that's it
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Lions, bring it up, lions, ooh
Lions, bring it up, lions, ooh
Lions–Lions–Lions–Lions
Lions, ooh, ooh, ahh, woo!
Ahh! Woo!
[Refrain: Mos Def]
You should just how much you got there?
Got the club shit that you catch on the dial
[Verse 3: Mista Mister]
Scene hot and muggy - you might end up in the wrong house
Wake up the club and let’s go all out all out
Yeah that petty shit will have you cased up and locked down
Whole clique put a lot down get found with a hot round
Put expressions in their music and create the face
[Verse 4: Kanye West]
Ready for the chumps on the wall
There's a lot of love lost when you start being the boss
The chariots of God lost children scheming to floss
With homicide being the leading cause of death
Still got the boss to go nutty on you punks yeah
[Verse 5: Mista Mister]
I'm prepared to take it there for you
Me and Mos Def was smoking weed and breaking all of they rules
He caught a dope case and they threatened him with time
Been running for too long it's time to give me mine
Fighting for their place in time to be solidified
Now there will be some heat and some friction
I wanna live righteous and you know I love Jesus
As we walked he talked and I just listened
[Verse 6: Mos Def]
I started readin her back I couldn't believe
I pull your card then I pull the steel steel
With that on my team I wouldn't risk it
Breathe out all day but he wouldn't breathe in
Other people slandered my name but I dodged that
And Cool J you see my hand not what I got and
I'm gonna find you in my AP nine on jam
Guess it was love at first sight eye contact
[Refrain: Mos Def]
You should just how much you got there?
Got the club shit that you catch on the dial
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Lions, bring it up, lions, ooh
Lions, bring it up, lions, ooh
Lions–Lions–Lions–Lions
Lions, ooh, ooh, ahh, woo!
Ahh! Woo!
