Jungle Jay Songtext

Jungle Jay Songtext
Yeah, it′s like a jungle
Makes me wonder
It's like a jungle
(Jungle) You have to look out everywhere I go
Have to turn around, watch my back, watch my front
(Jungle) That′s what it's all about
(Jungle) The jungle of the mind
It's a jungle when you hang, where they bang
(Jungle)
The world′s so big, yet so small as one block
Many die mentally before they reach what they wanted
I choose to get blunted, and cruise to 125th 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 is, he wants to show me
But I′m at this red light
Is it me or is he lookin' dead right in my face?
Heh, as I pull the strap that I keep underneath the seat
Just in time, I was able to fled the scene
And leave him standin′ there with his hands in the air
See, my light was green, Harlem to Queens
Triborough Bridge packed with cars, trucks, vans and cabs
They got this new E-ZPass thing
Computer takin' over the cash thing
So as I drive home
I roll my window up and my indo 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, dun, brother? What′s the deal?"
He said, "Everything's easy, bruh, man, it's all real"
(Jungle) I said, "But what happened earlier?
Why everybody outside?"
He said, "Like, blue suits came runnin′ through
And took thirty brothers for a ride
Yo, right after you left the Ave"
(Jungle) Yo, same thing that′s been goin' 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
Oh, Lu, got the music playin'
Outside, it ain′t no playin'
We just payin′ attention
Listenin' out to everything that's happenin′
′Cause if it's on, it′s on
And it's always on, just like the song "Jungle"
What′s gon' happen next out here?
It′s gettin' crazier, weirder
People losin' spirituality, morality
What′s happenin′?
From jazz, bebop to rappin'
It′s all the same thing, a black thing
A mack 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)
Makes me wonder
It's like a jungle
(Jungle) You have to look out everywhere I go
Have to turn around, watch my back, watch my front
(Jungle) That′s what it's all about
(Jungle) The jungle of the mind
It's a jungle when you hang, where they bang
(Jungle)
The world′s so big, yet so small as one block
