It's like a jungle sometimes it make me wonder It's like a Forrest sometimes it help me flourish It's like a desert sometimes I find myself exerted I don't know how to word it, so I gather up a excerpt My momma always used to blurt it but since I always heard it , Things didn't make sense until it hurted Unjust situations did a service , I can't remember the last time when I was nervous I tried my hardest not to become heartless In poverty stricken and drug infested apartments They raised us in the slums So we raisins in the sun Get to the league then our fathers come and try to bake us when we're done Already came from out the oven Already clubbing and already loving Been making mistakes Got seasoned without his marinade He never made us a plate Forced to be a renegade He never made us feel safe We're out running from everything Then don't know what to do when we make it on base Flour for the chicken Flowers in the vase Gun powder in the smith & Baking soda for the base I can't stand the rain coming through my window and we never had drapes Slim fast was our ******* so fiends never got in shape Rent was only $50 So we never had space Halloween we had the mask but we Couldn't afford the cape So it was only fly if you sold super weight God's gate or cell 5 gate Was our only escape No DNA But we had to share a sub sandwich Waterfall a club soda That's why we relate Dozens of "cousins" Saw each other everyday so that's why we debate It's like a ocean sometimes it makes me hopeless Marco Polo never get played, it's real We dying by waves of violence It's like a battle field sometimes it keeps us crying Retaliation celebration 10 years of frequent, but temporary triumph It's like a jungle that's why today I'm humbled Try to stay away from trouble Lost a lot of brothers, so the ones thats left I muffle It's like a jungle with tigers, apes, and snakes We pray everyday not to become prey It's like a jungle Only enlightened by thunder The trees help us breathe The trees bring a breeze But the trees is like a tease Disable us to follow our dreams We can't see the nearest sea So we just hunch by the tree stomp It's like a jungle At times it keep me thinking how do I keep from sinking It's like a jungle sometimes it makes us a believer that we gotta have fever just to meet our diva It's like a jungle sometimes it make me crumble because the crumbs feed the hunger It's like a agglomerate sometimes I forget when the last time I ate It's like a collage eventually I can't picture if I have a future It's like a jungle where Lumberjacks never stumble Allow our dense vegetation To cloud our inspirations We come from jungles Get older and just want a happy huddle And a warm cuddle And finances to bundle When we make it through our rubble From a jungle We wonder That's all we can do is wander That's all we can do is juggle That's all we can do; is hustle?
