Live fast, die young in the jungle
|
How the fuck you still standing?
|
Gonna crumble if you tumble
|
That's how they want you
|
You can make it if you want to
|
Learn to live with your regrets when they come haunt you
|
It's life in the jungle
|
It's life in the jungle
|
Don't let me die
|
|
High school dropout, I was so young
|
Just so I could rap, damn I was so dumb
|
Met a coke head older bitch, I was so sprung
|
Popped pills, then put a lot of dope in our lungs
|
Damn, didn't mean to disappoint my mom
|
Hit a couple licks, then throw away the gun
|
Never doing time in the state, now we all fucked up
|
Damn, should've been all the way to diploma
|
Life of a young black teen
|
Not my kids where the fucking vaccine
|
Streets turn some niggas to a crack fiend
|
Had dreams with would hit the line, mic rap fiend
|
All my niggas so soft in heart
|
I was in the basement, tryina practice my art
|
Life is a beach with an ocean, with sharks
|
Don't let 'em smell blood, they'll tear you apart
|
Worst fear - I would turn to be nothing
|
Least in my kids eyes I would mean something
|
Turned and wink like a motherfucker seen something
|
Set a scared nigga straight, motherfucker I ain't fronting
|
Yes, I'm king, young black teen
|
Throwed off from the bullshit that I've seen
|
Wait for my night, then I live my dreams
|
Still here bitch, ready for whatever life brings
|
|
Live fast, die young in the jungle
|
How the fuck you still standing?
|
Gonna crumble if you tumble
|
That's how they want you
|
You can make it if you want to
|
Learn to live with your regrets when they come haunt you
|
It's life in the jungle
|
It's life in the jungle
|
Don't let me die
|
|
Sorry y'all, but I was off that night
|
High as hell, I could've lost my life
|
What the fuck am I smoking?
|
What you put in that pipe?
|
That's PCP no, nigga that ain't right
|
Confronted my fears right by the moonlight
|
I was so geeked, couldn't even move right
|
I was so scared, felt god that night
|
Bless you and me, '
|
Amazed how a nigga made it
|
Without land on the pavement, I'm not contagious
|
We all go through phases
|
And roam through hell and hopes someone saves us
|
Came up from the east, Lex, and gold teeth
|
Chevy's, old school Capri's, running from the police
|
Some didn't make it like Cochise
|
My homeboy died over old beef
|
Yeah, not salmonella
|
Rolled around that night looking for the killer
|
Came back home, boy get it together
|
What the fuck am I doing, boy, chase something better
|
Yeah, try a whole new angle
|
Levitate through the bullshit, Chris Angel
|
Must be touched by angels
|
Bro got a loose foot, gripping this angle
|
Life in the jungle
|
|
Live fast, die young in the jungle
|
How the fuck you still standing?
|
Gonna crumble if you tumble
|
That's how they want you
|
You can make it if you want to
|
Learn to live with your regrets when they come haunt you
|
It's life in the jungle
|
It's life in the jungle
|
Don't let me die
|
|
Life in the jungle, we scrambling just to make it
|
Dr. Conrad Murray, niggas losing their patients
|
Can't find a decent job with good wages, he's on probation
|
Baby momma bitching 'bout paper, fuck, he can't take it
|
Stress is kicking in and the pain and his heart is aching
|
Don't wanna fucking lose it, his faith is slowing decaying
|
Momma constantly praying, hope the angels can save him
|
Poppa was never there, so these fucking animals raise him
|
No decent role models, these dope boys, they craze him
|
Cops patrol the block with no empathy, they just gauge him
|
Same old cycle, we been through this shit for ages
|
We question the presence of God, shit is just never changing
|
In the jungle
