Chali 2NA - Jungle Sometimes lyrics

It’s like a jungle sometimes
Makes me wonder how I keep
From going under my sea

Broken glass, everywhere
The ghetto’s like an open
Gash you can’t repair
And if you can’t take the smell
And the noise there’s no choice
You can tell people dwellin’ in
Hell with no voice rats, roaches
Pickpockets and smokers and doughboys
Approach us promoting a way to
Cope with the bullshit
While pedophiles preach at the pulpit
A ghetto child come to school and
He packing a full clip
Those who let crime take them under
Fall victim to the symptoms of
Time and they slumber
I keep it humble in kind in case I blunder


‘Cause the cities like a jungle
Sometimes it makes me wonder
I think I’m losing my mind, I’m too touchy
I’m standing too close to the edge
So don’t push me yeah
It’s like a jungle sometimes
The inner city’s like a jungle sometimes
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep
From going under my seat

To get it in a my rhyme penetrates
The time illustrates
Crime infested living space is
Really prime real estate
They will facilitate the suburb dwellers
And so they plot to take
The property they prefer better
They serve letters of eviction
Transforming a grim slum
Into condominiums too much for
Lower income living
Give them vouchers and hotel certificates
To welfare recipients they kick
Them off the premises!
Politicians organize a mass exodus
Of lower class
Residents way past the city limit's
No education, quadruple digit inflation
And now
They takin’ homes through regentifrication
Man

Those who let crime take them under
Fall victim to the symptoms of
Time and they slumber
I had to struggle with mine so take a number
‘Cause the cities like a jungle
Sometimes it makes me wonder
I think I’m losing my mind, I’m too touchy
I’m standing too close to the edge
So don’t push me yeah
It’s like a jungle sometimes
The inner city’s like a jungle sometimes
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep
From going under my seat

And my son said
Daddy I don’t wanna go to school
Cause my father’s a rapper and
Most rappers are fools
And all my friends smoke reefer
It’d be easier and cheaper
If I joined the armed service
Learn to shoot a street sweeper

Okay it’s hard to beat the street
And compete with the elite
Every man needs to think if
You can handle the heat
Cause it’s all about money
Ain’t a damn thing funny
And I ain’t gon’ let these suckers
Take a damn thing from me
A man parked his car, in front of the train
Killed more than 11 people but
He got out and ran
Oscar grant got shot by a cop on the BART
And the cop got two years
And a brand new star
Can’t walk through the park ‘cause
It’s crazy after dark
Daily sound when guns bark
Bodies found and some not tSA is a migraine
Surveillance and spy planes
And if you got an Arabic name
They think you might hijack the plane!

Those who let crime take them under
Fall victim to the symptoms of
Time and they slumber
See I’m that one with the rhyme
I bring the thunder
‘Cause the city's like a jungle
Sometimes it makes me wonder
I think I’m losing my mind I’m too touchy
I’m standing too close to the
Edge so don’t push me yeah
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep
From going under my seat
