The Jungle

[verse 1:]

Its 10 o'clock, wakin' up for a new day

Another dollar, hit the block, gotta get paid

Spendin hours, movin rocks or blue-collar worker

Approached many times, proposition for a merger

T.t., an independent and he know the worth of

What he control is more than they had to offer

He scoffed at the idea of what they had to say

So uptown, so t.t. to have it your way

We buy you out now, or take it later homie

T.t. told uptown 'show me' and the beef was set

See somebody definitely gon' feel it

They gotta show the other who the realest, turn killers

They say sleep is the cousin of death

And nobody wanna die, so nobody getting rest

98 degrees, sun out scorchin

T.t. got gunned down on his mama porch drinkin' lemonade

[chorus:]

I'm tryin to tell ya that the shit will drive you crazy

Take ya brotha, take ya son or ya baby

What i know now, is what this hood made me

Livin life in the jungle

[verse 2:]

Gina had a gig watchin other peoples' kids

Trustworthy, but nobody checked the way she lived

Westside, hampton courts, apartment 2k

Two kids already and a dude named jay

Jay had some issues, a problem with his hands

He used to put 'em on gina like she was a man

And that's problematic, always in the some static

He used to show his ass in front of kids a filthy habit

Gina had enough, she couldn't take the pain

She told jay she bout to find herself a new man

She got a new plan, and a new focus

She don't need jay no more and he know this

Meantime somebody's baby in the tub drownin

Jay in the bedroom on gina poundin'

Face down the way she found him

Now they both doin fair time, i'm thinking she got life damn

[chorus]

[verse 3:]

Homeboy he got dreams formulatin plans

Schemes on the other hand tryna get grands

Stick-up man in the hood, takin all ya grams

They remember when he wasn't ill, just fam

Now he on a dolo mission

Graduated 86' datsun to a brand-new expedition

His team on the outside wishin

Lookin in with green eyes, it wasn't no surprise that

Solitude would be his downfall

He left his crew at the bottom so they gotta take him down pa

All he had to do was put em' on some game

Share a little bit, but he wanted all the fame

Cruisin' round the hood, perpin' hard, actin lame

Not knowin he gon' get it, it's a motherfuckin shame

Pulled up to the curb to show love to his man

Them boyz put two in his brain and called that shit even

[chorus]
