Lyrics (by CXXXVI)
Well I survived the demons and cannibals
But the real threat was the god fearing man
He came at me with a gun in his hand
They said I was a tiger
But they silenced my roar
Killed my family
Then asked for more
They put a bounty on my head
Treated me like a criminal
Wouldn’t let me rest
Until they turned me into their Sunday best
They said I was a tiger
But they silenced my roar
Killed my family
Then asked for more
They put me in zoo
A jail cell
1932
It was the great depression
And I know a thing about the blues
They said I was a tiger
But they silenced my roar
Killed my family
Then asked for more
They came looking for me
Deep in the wilderness
But I knew better to show my face
To the beasts who only know disgrace
If you want to meet me than come into my den
Then perhaps we can be friends
I’ve talked to monsters not men
Roaming in the shadows
Hidden in plain sight
A leapard can’t change its spots
And a tiger can’t change time
