Prompt / Lyrics
Intro (hum + whoop)
Mmmmmm mmm-mm
Whooo!
Yeah… lionheart.

Verse 1
Mind runs wild but my feet stay light,
Moon’s still up, I’m gone by night,
They throw grenades just to see me scare,
I step aside — whoooooo! — not there too quick too slick.

They call my name like it’s fucking  bait in the sand,
Try pull me back with a soft-hand plan,
I don’t bite, I don’t bark out loud,
I move with the pride of a lion in the crowd.

Pre-Chorus (hum, build)
Mmmmmm mmm-mm
Feel the heat, feel the start,
Mmmmmm mmm-mm
Still calm — lion-heart, bring out the beast

Chorus (big, bouncy)
I’m dodgin’ grenades — whooo! step wide!
Dodgin’ criminals ridin’ my side,
Dodgin’ bullets, dodgin’ shame,
Dodgin’ trouble wearin’ my name.
Whooo! hey! hear that sound that’s Lionheart’s dust eat it fucker.
Lionheart still runnin’ around!

Verse 2
Cash goes missin’ when snakes get close,
Sweet talk smiles, but I know the pose,
They test my trust, they test my steel spine,
Think kindness is weak — wrong time.

Chaos in my skull,
Mind like thunder, spirit full,
I don’t freeze, I don’t fall apart, nerves of steel.
Fast feet, sharp eyes, lion-heart is here fuckers and here to stay. 

Pre-Chorus (call + hum)
Whooo!
Mmmmmm mmm-mm
Read the threat, play it smart,
Mmmmmm mmm-mm
Move like a lionheart.

Chorus
Dodgin’ grenades — whooo! all night!
Dodgin’ bad deals, dodgin’ fights,
Dodgin’ bullets aimed at my pride,
Dodgin’ the past — I won’t hide.
Whooo! hey! say it loud—
Lionheart ain’t backin’ down!

Bridge (half-spoken, grin)
I don’t roar unless I must.
I don’t chase.
I just move with purpose…
And trust.

Final Chorus (everything in)
Dodgin’ grenades — whooo! all day long!
Dodgin’ liars in my way,
Dodgin’ chains they tried to start,
You can’t cage a lionheart.
Whooo! hey! still I roam,
Try say my name — I’m already gone! Always one step ahead of you fuckers.

Outro (long hum fade)
Mmmmmmm mmm-mm
Lionheart…
Whooo…
Mmmmmmm mmm-mm
Still free, and always will be.
