Heart of a Lion

[Verse – extended, melodic, ruthless cadence]
Came up from the dirt where the nights felt endless,
Cold floors, cold world — had to move relentless.
Every time I opened up, they treated me defensive,
So now I guard my heart like the pain been expensive.

I was tryna rise when they prayed I wouldn’t make it,
Trust turned to dust ’cause too many people faked it.
Used to show love, but they taught me how to break it,
Now I move smart — every bond, I gotta weigh it.

Lost a lot of friends when I started gettin’ focused,
Funny how they vanished when the pressure hit the closest.
Learned that bein’ real always came with higher doses,
Gave ’em all my loyalty, they treated it like it was hopeless.

When you try to level up, people hate without a reason,
Try to dim your light just to match the way they bleedin’.
I been grindin’ daily with a hunger that don’t weaken,
Turned my trauma into fuel — every setback got me speedin’.

Never had a handout, had to fight for every blessing,
Every situation built a part of me that’s destined.
Took a lot of damage, but I learned to keep it separate,
Pain don’t define me — I just carry it with elegance.

I been in the storm with nobody in my corner,
Feelin’ like a target but I’m movin’ even stronger.
Battled through the rumors and the lies they tried to conjure,
Now the fire in my chest burn longer than the hunger.

People say they love you but they quick to turn around,
Tell you that they ride, but disappear when you fall down.
Left me in the dark, but that’s the moment I was found —
Had to build myself from nothin’, now I’m standin’ on the ground.

Pressure taught me patience, isolation built my mind up,
Had to cut some ties ’cause their energy would climb up.
Tryna keep my peace — anybody gettin’ lined up
If they try to play the role they already gave the sign of.

Pain made me sharper than a blade when I’m alone,
Loyalty was rare so I learned to hold my own.
Never needed crowds — I feel safest on my throne,
Cause everybody switch when your seeds start gettin’ grown.

I ain’t chasin’ fame, I just want a better life,
Somethin’ for the fam so they never feel the strife.
Turned the darkest moments to a sword I use to slice
Any demon tryna circle back and take another bite.

Heart of a lion — that’s the reason I’m alive,
Everything I lost only pushed me to survive.
Every single tear turned to fuel for the rise,
Capálot the truth — you can see it in my eyes.

Yeah.
