Greeny Jungle ft. Shakiah & SoulChef Lyrics

We get hunted in the streets

Openly by police

Prison is an industry

They don't want us to speak free

Mainstream promoters

Only feed you that group think

Poisonous activities

That lands you in clink-clink

I'm indie as I want to be

Here to give you all of me

Will offer no apologies

For all the strength I'm honoring

All the ways the calling brings

My a-alikes to raise a light

In the darkest part of the night

Before we wake a sleeping giant

Rising up is inevitable

Everything changes

Pray the planet stays habitable

I'm from a jungle

That's getting clear cut fast

Since I rap typecast as a real wild cat

A lion, in fact

From a Horn in the East

I grew up with some beasts

I could show you some things

But you gon have to learn how to act in my habitat

You don't have the land where you standing at

It has you

This balance has to stay true

Greeny jungle

Wilderness

Where the wild things are

A beast gon be a beast

So be who you are

A lion with a horn

The hunted with a song

The places you get broken

Are the places you get strong

Green jungle

Give me what you cannot see as pearls

Strap the muzzle

Give you verbal fetters

Pressure, pressure you to hustle

Zero discussions about your well-being

Sell dreaming

Affirmation

Junkie start beaming

Bent back for a pat on the back

And lost coins

Dish out Diwali clapping

For the ratchets and lost boys

Conversation deployed

To steal, kill and destroy

An entire generation through disconnect techie toys

Plus poverty on 'roids

Make your money look bigger

But the mind set is still the same

The math harder to figure

When you bit a bigger picture

No bread with hard liquor

Crash cars quicker than quick talkers will city slick ya

Delay on the picture, no pitching in twenty/twenty

They got you jockin' smoke and mirrors

Even though it's funny

But you worship money

So you give it glory on your knees

But greed never says thank you

You all look green

Greeny jungle

Wilderness

Where the wild things are

A beast gon be a beast

So be who you are

A lion with a horn

The hunted with a song

The places you get broken

Are the places you get strong

I know who I am

And I know how I am seen

No matter what I do they gon be two different things

So I can't let a gaze ruin any of my days

They might see me as a hunter

They might see me as prey

Found out how to survive

Without playing their games

If anything is constant in the jungle it's change

The knowledge in my body

Reacts faster then my brain

Instinct, intuition

It's kinda hard to explain

Scruffy chin, lion mane

Regal but never tamed

Symbol of an empire

That I never once claimed

Greeny Jungle

Stumble through forbidden lands

Where spirits walk

And hold you with an open hand

People worship or fear what they do not understand

The wilderness taught me how to be who I am

And I fell hard

Before I learned how to stand

If you want to live here

Learn to listen to the land

Greeny jungle

Wilderness

Where the wild things are

A beast gon be a beast

So be who you are

A lion with a horn

The hunted with a song

The places you get broken

Are the places you get strong
