Lyrics:
Politics at home
I’m all alone
Politics at home 
I’m all alone (all alone)
House politics, hood politics 
I ain’t grow up in the hood
My home was the hood 
Not from the streets, don’t test me, still a G
My home was the hood (you heard?)
Beefs, plots, and schemes 
Phones tapped 
Slaps and screams 
Backstabbing fam ain’t who they seem to be 
Crabs in a bucket mentality
Sad to see (indeed)
Politics at home 
I’m all alone
Politics at home 
I’m all alone 

Prone to every move analyzed like a drone  
Prone to being the one that’s not adored 
A slight slip of the tongue and I’m done 
Walking on a tightrope
Choking on the words caught in my throat 
Indian soap opera, Tony Soprano 
My dad was like the mom in I, Tonya
Livia Soprano, that was my grandma’s twin 
Still miss her though 
Only child caught between two polar opposites 
One pole the North, one pole the South
Me with a clamp, over my mouth
Psychologically hampered and tampered with 
Brain damage from my parents’ marriage 
Rage filled pain fills the cages of my brain 
Blame game, my dad hated my mom’s fam 
Aimed to frame and defame 'em
He had the phone lines in the house tapped
Tried to get me saying lies on cam 
Videotapes for the court trial 
I couldn’t show I like her fam 
Interviews with the child custody lawyer 
Dad yelling when I told her the truth 
His ruthless ways 
Always checking over my shoulder
Feel like someone’s eavesdropping 
Pops secretly listening in
Crippling antics (tragic)

Chorus

Grew up in a joint family sharing space 
Had to brace myself, my mom told me points
Said my dad’s fam that I lived with hated me
She was traumatized, said they didn’t care 
She was tryna protect me 
Instead it left me scarred and scared  
She overshared, made me an orphan
Feel like a burden on everyone 'til this day
Suffer in silence below the surface, I feared 
Suffocate like a deer with a crippled gait 
Me, 3 or 4, too young to be told this stuff 
Grew up on edge with too much knowledge 
Wrongs done against my mother
Her fam and her suffered 
At the hands of my dad and his fam 
They had to return back to Punjab 
The pind could be the hood at times
They grinded to make it here, only to return 
Put their dreams in an urn
They yearned for their daughter, my mother 
The heartbreak killed my Nani, mom’s mom 
Heard lies 'bout my mom, she was villainized 
Still I felt ashamed even if they were lies 
Learned to numb my emotions
Maintain a cold front, Arctic Ocean 
Mom had panic attacks 
Visited the hospital, sat in her lap 
Saw the cup of water in her hand shaking 
As a daughter, could never do nothing
Free Willy, I was trapped
Could I leap over the wall? I was too small 
Now I got SAD, OCPD
Social anxiety, paranoia
Oh yeah, flippin’ out Nokia 
But I ain’t ever do no drugs
Diego Maradona? Nah, I’m sober 

Chorus

Product of my environment 
Violent at times but I don’t commit no crimes 
Anger’s a demon, I ain’t tryna do time 
Now I know the world’s not black and white 
Not just good and evil, it’s gray 
Way more complex, so I pray 
Hurt people, hurt people 
Intergenerational trauma, 1947 Partition 
Grandpa had to flee home, his dad died on the way 
Had to cremate him right there as a boy 
He grew up and raised my dad strict 
Dad did the same with me
That’s all he knew, in his mind he’s right 
We clash and fight 
In the past I held intense hatred inside 
Instead, love’s where freedom lies  
Love’s where peace lies 
I cried when dad’s mom, Biji died
Despite it all, she raised me 
Death’s the only thing guaranteed in life 
Learn to love before you turn to dust

Teeter tottering at the intersection where old meets new and East meets West, Lioness Kaur is a rapper who curates contrasting sounds and sonics, blending assorted beats with stellar bars on her hip hop palette to leave the mark of a distinguished artist. 

A student of the game, with inspirations ranging from Biggie to A$AP Rocky, Prodigy to J. Cole, Pac to Drake; her favourites are too many to note. With her flow having been compared to Nas, her demeanor to Young M.A, and her use of syncopation to André 3000; Lioness Kaur is “Yours to Discover” like the Ontario she calls home. 

Born in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, Lioness Kaur grew up in the multicultural neighbourhood of East Credit (Sauga). She spent her weekends in Brampton, where her mom lived. Moving around a lot allowed Kaur to gain numerous different perspectives on life. Her Punjabi ethnicity and Sikh faith additionally expanded the scope of her world from the West, to the Eastern hemisphere. 

An official uni dropout, Lioness Kaur left the University of Toronto in order to pursue a career as a rapper; stacking up money by working as a pre-board screening officer at Pearson Airport. Incidentally, the day she decided to drop out from uni was Rakim and J. Cole’s birthday. As they say, there are no coincidences. 

Breakthrough: When Drake followed her on Instagram, in 2022, on Lil Wayne’s birthday.

She has received a lot of hate to date but that doesn’t stop her, she’s a Taurus after all ;)
