Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A Lion without a mane will steal the home of the heart of any man
And at the end of every cycle, there's a new beginning

I had the dream that ya elder self was watching over you
Dreadlock strong, come to carry you through
With a weight up on your shoulders, hand upon your head
