lyrics

My mother saw the lion come
consume my father when I was
still in her womb
and that's why they say I was born this way
they call me the lion-faced man

furs around my arms and back and there's a
snout on my face and fangs grow in my mouth
I'll shake my manes for you
if you call me the lion-faced man

Come hear me roar
hear me roar
hear me roar
hear me roar

My mother saw the lion come
consume my father when I was
still in her womb
and that's why they say I was born this way
they call me the lion-faced man
