The narrator is caught up between emotions and her thoughts. She is sharing how the expectations we have of people are not really true, and how their ego’s take the better of them. ‘Yeah and man seem so strong, Yeah man speak so long, Man never been so wrong.’ Probably realizing this is why the narrator is so mixed up between feelings and thoughts. The narrator seems to be in a conversation, trying to level with a person who she feels might be going through the same and excusing herself for her behavior. The lion represents her gut feeling, which is not compliant with the expectations that we have of humans.
