LIONHEART LYRICS

1. The Truth

Now the struggle is the root of all evil
What's that make you? I guess it makes me the devil
Divide by the pain but the numbers won't settle
Because when it rains it pours, it rips right through your shelter
It rips right through your home and cuts deep in your heart
Handcuffs, knives and drugs; they tore my family apart
Like damn... This can't be all that life is: unpaid debts, no rest and fake friends

And when the numbers add up, the math still ends in subtraction
Divide by the pain, you're left with nothing but fractions
Imagine having the appetite of a beast
But it's hard to be a lion when there's nothing to eat
All these cracks in my heart like these cracks in the street
And I've been walking so much I swear I can't feel my feet
But I don't buckle, no matter the pressure

No matter the wind, the rain, no matter the weather
I am forever, this is the sound of the truth
this is the sound of the truth

2. Rat

Despicable, predictable.
I try and ignore the stench but it's impossible
I smell a rat and that's a fact. Call the exterminator and let him run that
Let him confirm that, poison put him on his back.
Arsenic up in his shit and give that rat a heart attack
More vicious than a flesh wound. Better die a roach's death soon

I smell a rat, you better watch your back
I smell a rat, you better watch your

Face down in the gutter, back stabbing, caught lying mother fucker
The definition of a snake, you never give you just take and you take and you take
But I will never let up and I will never give up, 'til you're exposed and that's that
So you can run and hide an you can live lies
But I'm coming for you and that's a wrap

I smell a rat, you better watch your back
I smell a rat, you better watch your
you better watch your back

Ain't running shit but your mouth every time that we see ya
Spittin' that venom like you're the neighborhood preacher
But I ain't gotta less lies or fabricate on what's real
And I ain't hard to find, just put your bitch behind the wheel
You fucking rat

3. Rest In Power

Tell me have you ever lost somebody?
Well I have and it hurts so bad. I wanna off somebody
I lost a brother he was 18 years old, he was 18 years old

Rest in power, rest in power, rest in power

Now he's living in the sky, so he's looking down on me
Forever having my back and watching over me
But everytime I hear the name, my heart breaks
And everytime I feel the pain, there's no escape

Rest in power, rest in power, rest in power
Gone but not forgotten 'cause you're looking down and watching

Now you're living in the sky so I do it in your name
I'm banging 2 pac's, how long will they mourn me

4. LHHC

Welcome to the west coast, where we at, we at Northern California
Welcome to the west coast, what you banging, this is LHHC

I started this band in 2004. Give a fuck about a label, I just wanted to tour
And yeah, I had a dream: "I wanna see the world"
And this music took me places I'd never been before
God damn yeah, in 2008 toured with Skarhead and Bulldoze and they showed us the way.
First time on the East Coast and can't forget they showed us love but couldn't wait to get back out West
California's where we're from

Welcome to the west coast, where we at, we at Northern California
Welcome to the west coast, what you banging, this is LHHC

Now three albums later, I've still got love for the scene
From Europe to Japan and back and everywhere in between
Shout out to everyone who stuck by us through and through
And Northern California, god damn it we love you

Welcome to the west coast, where we at, we at Northern California
Welcome to the west coast, what you banging, this is LHHC

From the basements, to the stage. Through it all, we stood tall, we made our own way

5. I Am Forever

Deep down in the valley of the shadow of death
I face the odds head on, pause and catch my breath
Then it's fuck you all with a fist made from steel
R.I.P to my enemies, you know I'm for real

I am, I am forever

All the way back from I never left
Forever undisputed and the rest is a wrap, like that

Born to die but I'm alive, born to die but I kept my head held high
Born to die and that's no lie, these vultures will take you or all you got if you stand by

I am, I am forever

Comin' live, nothing to prove. I swear to god, ain't got a damn thing to lose
So let me speak my mind, forever undisputed. You can put that on my life

6. Hail Mary

Yeah I pray to god, but I ain't scared.
And boy I been through hell and back, so you bet I stay prepared
Wrestled with them nightmares, in the middle of the night
Give a fuck about a snake and you can put that on my life

Cause every day when I wake, I take a look in the mirror
I see a man who doesn't break, it doesn't get any realer

Fully decorated, I earned my stripes in the mud
I'm fully educated on hard times and tough love
So when I say I made it from down below to above
All I really mean is I don't need your respect

Every day when I wake, I take a look in the mirror
I see a man who doesn't break, it doesn't get any realer

Hail Mary, full of grace. Send an angel down to protect me
Bury my haters, next to my enemies.
Piss on all their graves, let them soak up the memories

7. Wasteland

A wasteland filled with the scum and the shit
Degenerate motherfuckers living in piss
A cocked out slut with a mouthful of dick
Get the fuck out my face, I don't think so bitch
This is a wasteland for all the scum and the shit

Burn this place to the ground

A wasteland filled with filth and decay
An ugly fucking cess-pool of every thing I hate
So with my eyes to the sky say goodbye to this place
So long to the past it was never needed anyway
This is a wasteland for all the filth and decay

Burn this place to the ground
Set this shit off one more time around
Set it off

Set it off
On everything you hate
Set it off
Never look back
Set it off
Turn and walk away
Set it off
Never look back
Set it off
