Lyrics
Some said never but the never done come
Yeah, and took our trust
Hate's been winnin', but the lovers ain't done
Yeah, not on my watch
took all my rights away
(Yeah, if ya) tellin' me how to play
(Yeah, if ya) won't let us demonstrate
(Yeah) wrong
(Yeah, if ya) thinkin' I don't belong
(Yeah, if ya) hiding behind a gun
(Yeah, if ya) hopin' we're gonna run
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
(Yeah, if I-)
Some said fire when the fire was ice
No, and sold a lie
Some may buy it, I'm not payin' the price
No, not in this life
took all my rights away
(Yeah, if ya) tellin' me how to play
(Yeah, if ya) won't let us demonstrate
(Yeah) wrong
(Yeah, if ya) thinkin' I don't belong
(Yeah, if ya) hiding behind a gun
(Yeah, if ya) hopin' we're gonna run
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 conga nyah, girls admire, well
Livin', we growin' with pride
All of the lions, we strive
Workin' so hard to unite
United, we tired of lies, 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
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
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 winnin', but the lovers ain't done
You better know who we are, who we are
(Yeah, if I-)
