[Richie Campbell]
Cause the city is a jungle
Work hard fi maintain and all the while me stay humble
Dem see you run after the money and dem try fi make you stumble
The system need a change we need to find another angle
Because the city is a jungle
What that a gwaan inna me area
How dem a gwaan me swear dem sicker than malaria
Any violation and dem clear the fucking area
Every other night me see me city get scarier
Lord me beg you please nuh make me see another burial
Fuck fame fuck celebrity
Dem deh life deh a nuh fi me
In the streets me and ksd
Tell a pagan fi stay way
Cause the city is a jungle
Work hard fi maintain and all the while me stay humble
Dem see you run after the money and dem try fi make you stumble
The system need a change we need to find another angle
Because the city is a jungle
[Julinho KSD]
N sta dento street
Lança um banger lança um hit
Focado nigga so tá da nha speed
Focado na nha mundo, mundo nigga di conflito
Sigui nha caminho longi tudo inimigo
Vivi so nha vida, tudo ku si tempo
Nha cor e nha passado, nu cria movimento
Bofia tá passa sempre ku ar di da pá sperto
Ez tá pensa ma nu teni porta casa aberto
Sente a minha cultura
Ser Black é uma virtude
Dizes ter um amigo black
Isso a mim não me ilude
Só Mentes fechadas
Isso a mim não me confunde
Só gana pegano
Nigga n sa ta vivi good
[Richie Campbell]
Cause the city is a jungle
Work hard fi maintain and all the while me stay humble
Dem see you run after the money and dem try fi make you stumble
The system need a change we need to find another angle
Because the city is a jungle
See dem will pat you pon yuh back set up a trap and then dem wait around fi see you fall
Lord me swear dem bwoy deh just too cynical
Talk behind yuh back and in yuh face dem call you general
Same one dem a go show up at yuh funeral
Me never beg a friend from nuh bwoy nuh day
But if a one a mine then me must deh deh
Tell yuh man dem better cool down like reggae
Me gone so unoo listen weh me bredda

Xintando na porta prédio

Cima nu ata curti bofia kre para nós festa
Cá nhos toca pamodi rapa e tudo gangsta
Pan cá pega shot n ba rabenta mas um txebra
Dento quarto ku dos 2 dama riba cama e guerra
