[Nas] |
|
Yeah |
|
It's like a jungle |
|
Makes me wonder |
|
It's like a jungle |
|
[Olu Dara] |
|
JUNGLE!! |
|
[Nas] |
|
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 EZ Pass 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, Dunn, 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 |
|
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 |
|
[Olu Dara] |
|
Jungle |
|
Jungle |
|
JUNGLE!! |
|
JUMGLE!! |
