Letra de THE LION’S DEEN - Lupe Fiasco

(Feat. Ayesha Jaco)

Drill music, pop that pill music, kill music

Desecrating the temples in the ghetto

Funeral processionals increase their frequency

Because we can't break the spell of Geppetto

No one knows

And scrolls of obituaries contain more words than dictionaries

That will define how lions in Zion became alley cats

Who traded their baseball bats for gats that spat

Blood of the people across steeples

And concrete jungles that turn playgrounds into graveyards

That buried generations of Black and Brown men who left their post

Because they were misguided by ghosts in the land of the living

Ready, aim, fire

Wanna be the block, but can't buy the block, bulldozin' the block

Makin' the Red Sea choke on bones of drones

Sent by PPP loans to see how you spent the money

Left, left, right, left

To figure it out while the ancestors watch and aid those who call out to them

Through altars, pay phones, saxophones, bottles of liquor, glasses of water

The sum of a son and a daughter equals new life, the holy trinity

He was a baby boy, but he was kin to me

Born to Basimah in hands of the lion who said

"Store your water in the basement, because one day, it will be scarce and polluted"

He said, "One day, grocery stores will be baren

Learn how to grow your own food and don't get caught starin'

Down the barrel of a gun

Learn how to run underground drills in Zion"

To be reborn lest you be scorned by the ways of the wicked

Who pillage our communities and natural resources for profit

He said, "My children, each of you are prophets"

Don't let money be the sum of your deeds

Pull the weeds from your mind

Look to the front, the side, and behind

You each have blades that will drill a new earth

Manifest the new world that Columbus thought he found

Band together to reverse the weather to unite the seeds of the oppressed

Stand together and work righteously to be blessed

For generations to come

Drill down, Zion is in you
