Black Panther Movie Theme Song (Inspired)

by Omekongo

/

about

I was inspired by the upcoming Black Panther movie to write this song. I have no idea what their plans are for the soundtrack but I think this track would sound great on the album. Don't you? If so, let them know!

lyrics

It’s war, it’s war, you can’t say no more
He comes home the king but didn’t know what’s in store
T’challa the true king, not the spouse of Nala
But cats ain’t feelin him wanna send him off to La La
Land but understand that this cat is a panther
Just buried his pop now he’s looking for answers
beef from all sides from the Klaw to Killmonger
to stay alive and conquer gonna need a will stronger
just a day in the life for the king of Wakanda
To prevent a world war he’ll need to stretch his claws longa
With help from outside gotta swallow his pride
Gonna ride for his klan keep the throne occupied
For his land he’ll do anything to save his nation
From enemies within who be patiently waitin
Black Panther’s here to stay better get out his way
Cause when Wakanda gets threatened then it’ time to slay
Stand for your people you ain’t got no choice
Fight hard for your people gotta give em a voice
Don’t let no one hold you down gotta always stand up
Beautiful people never frown it’s demanded of us
What would you do if your kingdom was threatened?
Folks from outside come to teach you a lesson
Would you sit back, relax, look at it as a blessin?
Or fight with all your might save your people from stressin’
Let the fight flow your veins, toes to the cranium
With a heart forged of steel better yet with vibranium
Insane to some how we fight until the end
When so many predicted our own destruction
But we weren’t born just to thrive we were born to win
Let the world hear us roar like a proud wakandans
The black panthers life matters but not just for him
But for everyone who wants to uplift this nation
