Life's not fair, is it, my little friend? While some are born to feast, others spend their lives in the dark, begging for scraps.
Scar[src]

"Life's Not Fair" was released digitally on July 11, 2019, and will be released physically on July 19, 2019, as part of the soundtrack of The Lion King. It is one of nine scores from the release, in addition to "Rafiki's Fireflies", "Elephant Graveyard", "Stampede", "Scar Takes the Throne", "Simba Is Alive!", "Reflections of Mufasa", "Battle for Pride Rock", and "Remember".

In the film[]

"Life's Not Fair" plays early in the film, immediately after the "Circle of Life / Nants' Ingonyama" sequence. The lively, upbeat flute sections play while the mouse scurries across the grasslands. The score changes tone, becoming more menacing, as Scar approaches and hunts the mouse for his own amusement.
