Jarren Benton - Life in the Jungle lyrics
rate meLive 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
