Concrete Jungle
(专辑: Hustler's P.O.M.E. (Product Of My Environment) - 2006)
Yo, it definitely is a
concrete jungle And yet, there's more to life than misery We have to have unity in our community We have to work together brothers and sisters (I'm from the
ghetto) Yeah this is Dr. Ben, I'm with Jim Jones (Lord knows, I
was on the
run confused) DipSet forever (shit) We're talking about a
concrete jungle (yeah it sure is a
jungle) Life or Death, you have to choose life (I done seen it all, at least I
think I
seen it all) [Verse 1] I'm with my concrete jungle, no Tarzans and Janes (no swinging from vines) Diesel by the
bundles, and the
hard grams of 'caine (we on our grind) D's when they come through; it's hard to get some change Smoking weed getting drunk, in the
car for a
flame (slow down nigga) Yeah I
see the
traffic, but we dipping on the
shoulder (break laws) Winter start to set in, it's only getting colder (dress warm) And I
miss you all my political soldiers Most are doing life for moving bricks or doing hold-ups Damn I
know we caught up in the
fast life Some life a
fiend when they caught up on the
glass pipe (we pookie out here) Me, I'm still caught up from last night Same clothes from the
club, on the
block getting cash right (I'm on my G
though) Damn, you know this world full of misery (pray for me) Some get tore up 'til they hurl off the
liquor B
(gettin twisted) Somebody told me that the
girls need the
chivalry (fuck a
bitch) That's why I
cop ice 'til they ass get the
shivers B
[Chorus] Ain't nothing sweet living in this ghetto (ain't nothing sweet about it) Been there, done that, running in the
streets (running wild) Now put your lighters to your head, nigga ride I'm trying to make the
most of my hustler (I gotta hustle) Been there, done that, so I
can live out all my dreams (live out my dreams) Now put your lighters to your head, nigga ride [Verse 2] For the
coke I
would sleep hard But the
game drove me nuts, in the
streets, I'm a
full-fledged retard Was the
city block overseer Man your life is Chuck E. Cheese, mine is a
pizzeria How many pies I
done flipped? I
lost count How many guys I
done gave shit? I
lost count Holding, but I
can't ignore cheating Any day your life could be the
hot topic at that board meeting They discussing who'll stretch you for your trees For your thievery, you living, you breathing for no fucking reason That's how it is when you make a
man That's why your man's gotta learn to make himself Then you shake his hand Man, I'm into catching heavy clams And when Dezzy cans when it comes to dumping I
got heavy hands Ain't gonna be right for your picking jet This is ours, the
square is where we eat, this our kitchenette [Chorus] [Verse 3] I
let my temper hit the
floor I
be staring through the
mirror as I
serenade my halls I'm fond of the
juices that marinate they drawers My shorty, she bank a
carrot with the
four, cause If you take us out, the
streets will evolve Some niggaz they live to eat, some niggaz eat to survive And my conscience keep disturbing me, fucking with my energy Niggaz that I
thought was friends, really the
enemy Dear Lord please grant me the
serenity To accept the
things that I
cannot change Locked up for eight years and ain't join no gangs Been converted to true nigga, I'm as real as they come And any moment I
have you staring the
barrel of my gun Put my dick up in the
streets, but I'm married to the
slums Put the
chips up in the
ante and tally up the
sum I'm having fun, hitting the
fiends in the
allies with some jums [Chorus] Alright, yeah but in choosing life, you got choices (oh yeah) The
jungle is full of everything It's the
mother and the
father of creation (ain't nothing sweet about it) But listen up, you have to choose something for yourself Do something for yourself, make something of yourself That's what time it is (don't let go) Go strong, be strong, stand for something in life (all my young soldiers) Yeah, concrete jungle I
can feel it, I
can smell it (sometimes it gets hard) Jim Jones is spitting truth, the
power (don't let 'em pull your car over) Now and forever more Making life the
way it should be Ain't nothing sweet about it Make me want to scream and shout it But I
know I
got to hold on, and just roll on
