Jungle Jay |
| Yeah |
| It’s like a jungle |
| Makes me wonder |
| It’s like a jungle |
| JUNGLE! |
| Yo, I have to look out |
| Everywhere I go |
| I have to turn around |
| Watch my back, watch my front |
| That’s what it’s all about |
| It’s a jungle of the mind |
| There’s a jungle when you hang |
| Where they bang |
| The world’s so big yet so small |
| It’s one block |
| Many die mentally before they reach what they wanted |
| I choose to get blunted |
| And cruise the One Hundred Twenty Fifth street |
| Music loud as hell in my jeep |
| Eyes meet people, strangers |
| Not thinkin' of danger |
| Amongst my people |
| Some I see through |
| But one guy stares |
| Maybe he thinks he knows me |
| Or maybe he’s crazy |
| Killer, baller, dealer |
| Something he has he wants to show me |
| But I’m at this red light |
| Is it me or is he looking dead right |
| In my face? |
| As I pull the strap that I keep |
| Underneath the seat |
| Just in time |
| I was able to fled the scene |
| And leave him standing there |
| With his hands in the air |
| See, my life is green |
| Harlem to Queens |
| Triborough bridge packed with cars |
| Trucks, vans and cabs |
| They got this new E-ZPass thing |
| Computer, taking over the cash thing |
| So as I drive home |
| I roll my window up |
| And my endo up in the same motion |
| See life is so full of surprises |
| And as I paid my toll |
| I drove to see my man |
| «What up kid, Don, brova? |
| Whats the deal?» |
| He said |
| «Everything's easy bro’er man |
| It’s all real» |
| I said |
| «But what happened earlier |
| Why everybody outside?» |
| He said like |
| «Blue suits came runnin' through |
| And took thirty brothas for a ride |
| Yo, right after you left the Ave» |
| Yo, the same thing that’s been going on |
| Since I was young in the past |
| Still goes on, how long will it last? |
| Gotta get strong fast |
| Out in the jungle, baby |
| Jungle |
| That’s how it is |
| Olu, got the music playing |
| Outside it ain’t no playing |
| We just paying attention |
| Listening now to everything that’s happening |
| Cause if it’s on it’s on |
| And it’s always on |
| It’s just like this song «Jungle» |
| What’s gonna happen next out here |
| It’s gettin' crazier, weirder |
| People losing spirituality, morality |
| What’s happening |
| From Jazz B-Bop to Rappin' |
| It’s all the same thing, a Black thing |
| A map thing, a world thing |
| Boy, girl thing |
| Woman, man, child |
| From Sweden to the Nile |
| To Australia, Europe |
| Africa to Venezuela |
| China, Japan |
| Everywhere you go understand |
| It’s a jungle |
| The whole world |
| Jungle |
| Jungle |
| JUNGLE! |
| JUNGLE! |
