The Lion at Noon

Sun at the peak

Sky feel small

One step, earth shake

Hear that call (yeah)

Walk in, whole room get heavy

Eyes on me, every crown look petty

You talk brave till the glare turn deadly

Chest too loud, your courage unsteady

I don’t beg for respect, I bend it

You don’t stand in my way, you end in it

Ask “who you think you are?” — I meant it

Answer simple:

I’m the man you don’t measure with a metric

Dust in the ray when I rise up slow

You pray, I don’t play, I impose, I glow

You shout big words from the back row

I speak once, your echo say “go home”

Who decided that I’m proud, huh?

Who decided I’m too strong?

I just walk like I can’t bow

Like I been the king all along

When the sun hit high, I grow

When the doubt creep in, it’s gone

Who decided that I’m proud, huh?

(They did, they did)

I just prove ’em right in this song

Call that fear? That’s worship twisted

Knees go weak, your bravest enlisted

You swing first? My aura deflected

Your best shot land as a light suggestion

I don’t chase thrones, thrones reposition

Every step carve law, new definition

You see flame, I see simple condition:

Heat rise to me like it need permission

Your heroes? Cute. That’s hobby

I lift limits like they lightweight hobbies

You bring armies, I bring one body

Sun in my chest, that’s unfair probably (yeah)

Who decided that I’m proud, huh?

Who decided I’m too strong?

I just walk like I can’t bow

Like I been the king all along

When the sun hit high, I grow

When the doubt creep in, it’s gone

Who decided that I’m proud, huh?

(They did, they did)

I just prove ’em right in this song

Ask me “what’s fear?”

I can’t recall

Ask me “who’s close?”

I name that star, that’s all

Who decided that I’m proud, huh?

Who decided I’m too strong?

I just walk like I can’t bow

Like I been the king all along

When the sun hit high, I grow

When the doubt creep in, it’s gone

Who decided that I’m proud, huh?

(yeah, yeah)

I just prove ’em right in this song
