Lyrics
Scar: When I was the Lion Guard's fiercest I took most patrols on my own So when I met this strange lion I had no fear of being alone

He said he had wisdom and power And the most powerful should be king With help from me and my Roar He and I could rule everything

I found his idea intriguing Though the most powerful lion was me But the strange lion was scheming And had a friend that I didn't see That's how I got my scar When I led the Guard

I expected to be praised near and far For stopping that traitorous thing But Mufasa just nicknamed me "Scar" Then I knew he shouldn't be king That's when I became Scar When I led the Guard

My first plot for vengeance Was spoiled when I lost the Roar My second plan later succeeded Mufasa was the king no more If it wasn't for that miserable Simba I would've ruled Pride Rock to this day But now, it is time For Simba and Kion to pay That's why I still am Scar From when I led the Guard Oh, oh That's why I still am Scar And why I'll destroy the Guard!
