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 suit's 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!
