From a young age, Roaring Lion (de Leon’s adopted stage name) became known for his skill in creating calypsos (particularly in his ability to extemporize lyrics on any subject). Contrary to his humble origins, he cultivated a refined stage persona and always appeared sharply dressed. His career officially began in 1924. He recorded extensively between the 1930s and 1950s, and was one of the calypsonians who deserves the most credit for the increasing international popularity of the genre during this period. In March 1934 the Trinidadian phonograph merchant Eduardo Sa Gomes sent Roaring Lion and Attila The Hun to New York to record; they became the first calypsonians to record abroad.
Roaring Lion achieved fame for his linguistic prowess as much as for his catchy tunes. His lyrics, delivered in rapid-fire style, show an impeccable command of the English language (as well as Trinidadian slang), and are replete with witty turns of phrase, humorous metaphors, and clever alliterations and internal rhymes.
Death
The Lion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are no longer my equal, I am more than man, more than life... I am a God!
Like King Midas, I got gold fingers they call me
Iceman, the diamond ringer, bumpin' this murder to all my foes while wiping their nose
Can't afford to hidin' thurck, laying low
AR-15s, aiming at targets, they point, blank, then blow
Woah, looking too dougie fresh, Kung Fu styles
Slamming fists in your chest, going lightning speedLike Bruce Lee, left a Opp in a cardiac arrest, I'm a lady killer like 007
Carrying a little Smith & Wesson murder doctor
That is my profession, these cutta's and scalpel's
Will teach you a lesson, rocking expensive dior chucks
Draco's leaven niggas, speaking gibberish
Like Daffy Duck, I'm on the mission for the bucks
I love a girl for who she is, not for her butt, not for her butt
Hit you with that Death Flow, write your name in the Death Note
Who's the shady nigga in the trench coat
Hit you with that Death Flow, write your name in the Death Note
Who's that shady nigga with the trench coat
Hit you with that Death Flow, write your name in the Death Note
Who's that shady nigga in the trench coat
Hit you with that Death Flow, write your name in the Death Note
Who's the shady nigga in the trench coat
Barking pits as my bitch Nigga eaters, PM-06, equipped with the sickening
Now he catching fevers, HOH, tatted on the back of my neck
Skorpion, EVO-three, attack on the set, while my red eye is itching
Sharingan Vision, postin' up in Chinatown
Tellin' blocks keep shutting down blind swordsmen
Like Kenshi, get bitches by the plenty
Death to many men, it'll be many
Now I take a sip of Ma, like it was Remy
I'm on my ODB, so watch me shimmy
Gotta Bentley, stack my pennies
Mafia made, I'll send Lenny
Turn a copper to Chopsuey
Baby Panther with the guns, I'm a Lil' Huey
Like Luke Cage and Johnny Cage, I always pack a punch
My chops crackle and crunch
Hit you with that Death Flow, write your name in the Death Note
Who's the shady nigga in the trench coat
Hit you with that Death Flow, write your name in the Death Note
Who's that shady nigga with the trench coat
Hit you with that Death Flow, write your name in the Death Note
Who's that shady nigga in the trench coat
Hit you with that Death Flow, write your name in the Death Note
Who's the shady nigga in the trench coat
100 rounds, 50 rounds, 100 rounds, that's 250 shots
I stay with a .40 cal and I put you underground
So watch your tone or your head will be underneath a tombstone
Hella chops like an alligator
I got niggas scoping me out like they some investigators
I'm a villain lair, raider
Slash ya out the picture like Darth Vader
Deadly combo is rap savior
With a killer instinct behavior
Don't tempt a nigga or I'll have to fade ya
Slasher in the making, I'm a microphone slayer
Keep it real with different girls even though I'm a player
For me the money is a chaser
A pussy nigga is what I made ya
The death rates is getting major
By me the Lil' hell, hell, hell, hell, hell razor

As we talk the golden mile
As we journey on life's path
Down the pretty aisle
Together, hand in hand
I know that you are mine
I know that we belong together
And there's nothing in this world
And nothing will ever come between us
That I know that I won't do
I will do anything for you
To be near you everyday
To spend every moment with you
Every hour every minute
Every second of every day
Take my hand and let me lead the way
Let me guide you through life
All through your life
For the rest of our days
I'll be by your side
I will always be there for you
Till death do us part
Until the end of time
I'll be your friend
And I'll be your partner
My love will never end
My love for you is eternal
When I wake up everyday
Every morning I wake
With you lying in my arms
With you close to me
I wonder if I'm dreaming
I can't believe we're together
When I look into your eyes
When I gaze into your soul
I just can't believe it's true
I can't believe my luck
That my heart belongs to you
That you are the one I love
Baby you can have it all
I will give you everything
There'll be good times
We will have happy moments
And there'll be bad
We will face tough times
But I will stand beside you woman
But I will always stand by your side
All the way
Through thick and thin
And through the years
As time passes
As life goes on 'n' on
As our lives continue
When snow will fall on winter nights
When the world grows cold
I'll keep you warm inside
I will keep your heart warm
Yeah baby I will
I promise you, I will

@luangu
I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue
And clouds of white
The bright blessed day
The dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying
I love you
I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
😭
