a lion in the wrong zoo Lyrics by Marc G

2024

Verse 1

I can't be a lost cause
I can't let this talent go wasted any longer
I've been wrong
So stubborn with an outlook so bleak it's just me
And the years chasing this pipe dream
Every let down is beating the fuck out of me
My source of the dopamine
Has been praying someone's listening
But now I realize that i'm not alone
Im n ot alone in feeling the impact of my decisions
My family feeling like less of a family every christmas
Is it just me or the disappointment that my career ain't moves an inch
Constantly climbing hills
Without amounting to nothing
Im failure of a son
I only synch the financial break even every month
I just want the guidance I always wished for
A pat on the back
Instead of a closed door with a lock turned key and more
What's access to a family without enough money to reach em
What's blazing my own trail without the energy to teach it
What's a legacies worth when only shame is the voice of reason
And what's the truth when the only safe way to live is in secret
What's the value of life
When no one realizes you're bleeding
Is it a disguise
Or a worthwhile dream that im feeding
And what's there rto show
When I ain't even eating
I'm sorry to my mom and dad cause this music is what your son believes in
Thats why im the runt of the litter its a real risk when you're breeding
And I don't blame you for not seeing the same vision that I do
I just blame you for not hearing that I needed love too
I just blame you for not hearing that I needed love too
So that’s why

Chorus

I can't be a lost cause
I can't let this talent go wasted any longer
Working with hip hop
I only feel lost
Like the words that Im speaking are the most honest
But still wrong
I can't be a lost cause
I can't let this talent go wasted any longer
I've given rapping promoting performing
More than I could ever get back
Makes me wonder if me making hiphop is a wrap

Bridge

So get up
Build up
No one gon make you switch up
Get up Build up
Switch up the genre
Work smarter not harder now
Get up Build up
No one is making you switch

Verse 2

Switch up Flip up
I'll flip it I'll flip it
I live where no one gonna listen to this
A decision for business is made okay
I can be an artist in a room full of rappers
Perform for a room
Of cold shoulders and laughter
Or I can be a real artist
In a room full of real musicians
Surrounded by better energy
Better people and a better image
I ain't dissing but its just a fact
For me to fit in anywhere
I gotta adapt
Craft a wider skillset
Make a brighter symbol
I'll play my own instruments
Combat this imposter syndrome
I'll switch the genre
Then go home
Create the sound that better represents my surroundings
Instead of working for the respect of the people that doubt me
I guess this means i've finally grown
Im finally home
I can't be a lost cause if I assemble my throne
This the bone that I wished on
One day that I'll own
I'm trying to sell this game I've learned
My wisdom controlled
I've been crushed by high hopes
My dreams and expectations imposed the perfect show closer
The Lonely Showman is a constant disorder
I shaped a stage and built an opportunity
But i never got paid
Not in money nor fulfillment or respect on my name
Life just gets lonelier as I increase in age
I thought sinking my life into a passion was my route of saving
Till a lack of the paper tortured me to a self reflected hatred
Years with no self reflective nature
I'm a Lebron without the Lakers
The man that I am ain't tapered like the man I dreamt of being
And no one go switch it or flip it up for me
I'll set my new pacer
These raps have been a placeholder

Chorus

I can't be a lost cause
I can't let this talent go wasted any longer
Working with hip hop
I only feel lost
Like the words that Im speaking are the most honest
But still wrong
I can't be a lost cause
I can't let this talent go wasted any longer
I've given rapping promoting performing
More than I could ever get back
Makes me wonder if me making hiphop is a wrap

Bridge

So get up
Build up
No one gon make you switch up
Get up Build up
Switch up the genre
Work smarter not harder now
Get up Build up
No one is making you switch
