The Jungle
(专辑: PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - 2014)
Southside, you know we living in the
jungle Brook'nam, you know we living in the
jungle See them gorillas over there in the
park, them my niggas After dark we get sparked up and pull triggers You gotta speak orangutan slang or pull capers The
cops are the
cheetahs and the
trees are the
skyscrapers See in the
jungle we often rumble for loot Some of us just stumble around high off the
booze, shoot You get shot, shit Play humble like last year when the
cheetahs tried to catch my uncle When you come through, you could get bumped too If you don't got at least 4
to 5
gorillas amongst you The
bigger tree hit 'em shocked and amazed 41 shots hot, take you out in the
blaze And if not, they ship your ass to the
Bronx in a
cage Into the
island where you spend your time counting the
days But still agriculturally, it's kind of ill, we blow mills They make a
killing and build new lands in the
jungle Shaolin, you know we living in the
jungle Chi-town, you know we living in the
jungle Westside, you know we living in the
jungle I
tell these chimpanzees who be carrying tools You don't wanna invest your life in a
cesspool Pharmaceutical distributing, breaking the
rules You need to take your monkey ass off to school And learn about Botswana, Sudan and Ghana Mozambique and speak of pride and honor I
understand sometimes we all feel fenced in But utilize your mind to define dimensions Just then I
lost the
little monkey's attention As he stared into the
distance focusing and squinting at a
Beautiful gazelle that was grazing in the
grass with Muscular legs and a
rhinoceros ass But in the
least case scenario I
did try to tell him Hit him with some signs that was a
little compelling Little gibbon on a
mission, not unlike Magellan What you caught was some felons, crimes and drug selling in the
jungle Yo, Ghana, you know we living in the
jungle Cape Town, you know we living in the
jungle Jo-burg, you know we living in the
jungle I'm talking epileptic episodes off that Epinephrine That Albuterol and them other prescribed medicines A
zombie in insomnia frecking the
Amphetamines My moms had me smoking weed from the
Netherlands at age 13 Broke apart the
scene, a
lot of moist weed that was sticky and green See in the
80's it was wine-coolers and woolies The
Facts of Life, crack, David Dinkins and toolies Mike Jack said "kick me, kike me, Jew me" Now all the
white chicks in the
world got booties He rap by popular demand And a
nigga nosey on some Toucan Sam shit You not Florida A&M, you not fam, dawg That would be (Marco), that's my man For biceps I
isolate with one hand For triceps I
do reps with dip sets, but not Cam Scandal, governors busted, got damn Power to the
people unite with one plan I
used to write about green eggs and ham 'Til I
found out the
Food and Drug Administration was a
scam Now we steam vegetables, brown, forget the
white rice My life is all I
have, studying zeitgeist Lyrics bang now and again, sing like the
Chi-Lites It's my right to use my power to shine my light To function, you know the
function Yo, Pharoahe Monch, what's your motherfucking function? I
go to Queens for queens, I
eat organic in Brooklyn Swing on a
vine over the
swine and keep 'em shook And take the
anaconda through the
tunnels Through the
Mecca where the
piranha try to ball and style on the
persona You know I
keep it on the
low like an iguana When the
monikers never leave the
crib without the
llama in the...
