The Lion Steals the Lion's Share

D E A T H G R I P S Exmilitary or animals or warlords and the biggest piece because the lion is the f*ckin' king before there were men saying otherwise But you are not the Lion steals the Lion's share,

A stern close-up portrait from the Death Grips era is shown behind cracked-glass imagery while captions build a mock-philosophical statement about lions, animals, warlords, and dominance. The punchline is that a person claiming the lion’s share is reminded that they are not actually the Lion, turning a grandiose power metaphor into a blunt reaction meme. Aggressive, ominous music reinforces the exaggerated sense of authority and makes the final line land like a dramatic verdict.

Who gets the lion's share? That's what it's all about. Whether it's between children or animals or warlords. It's not that everyone wants a piece, it's that everyone wants the biggest piece. And the biggest piece doesn't go to the monkey or the giraffe. The biggest piece goes to the lion, because the lion is the fucking king. That's how it works. It worked that way a million years before there were men saying otherwise. That's probably how it should work. But you are not a lion. They call you the jackal. Shhh. Sometimes the jackal steals the lion's share, but don't tell anyone.
