[Hook]
Way down in the jungle deep
Rumble, rumble in the jungle, jungle
The streets stay hot in the jungle heat, yo
Rumble, rumble in the jungle, jungle
Uuh uuh uuh uuh aah aah, uuh aah aah
Heh hoh hoh, heh hoh hoh
Uuh uuh uuh uuh aah aah, uuh aah aah
Heh hoh hoh, heh hoh hoh
(Rumble in the jungle, jungle)
[Verse 1]
Lions, tigers, bears, oh my
Stick up kids, pimps, and hustlers, no lie
The vultures circling, you know you're gon' die
Best to duck quick when them pigs roll by
Peacocks get wop and stay fly
Hyenas move in packs, and bats come out at night
They scurry 'round like rats, tote gats, but so blind
They don't see they're ain't nothing but low lives
Monkeys hang around in trees and stay high
Elephants got trunks of cash, they're big time
Panthers hate zebras, they're black but act white
The farm, they're probably where mice they shoot dice
That's where the chickens be clucking, stripping, tricking, and fucking
What they got up in their brains a whole lot of nothing
Got wolves on the prowl, got heaters they're dumping
[?] crocodiles [?] controlling the hunting
Sheep sport timbs and gold teeth grins
It's like a jungle whenever the beef ends
Snakes out there hollering 'bout "we friends"
Set you up at the pawn, have you thrown off the deep end
Usually deer don't come around cause predators eat them
Murders at the swamp like every weekend
It's savage in the concrete jungle, the street's grim
Gorillas rule from the edges of forests to deep ends
[Bridge]
(Rumble in the jungle, jungle)
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Now gorillas in the mist what's trifling
From extortion to drugs to all types of sin
Animal communities not liking them
Any rival apes take the life of them
The model is "get laid, get paid"
Any Tarzan nigga get brave get sprayed
Seems like nobody could defeat them
'Til one day, lion king of the jungle, creeping
See Lion did time in the zoo for beasting
Caught body when him and the cattle were beefing
Heard Lion got released, they're having a meeting
"Yo, Lion gon' try to stop us from eating"
Gorillas said "we're leave you leaking"
Lion said "we're gon' leave you cease to breathing"
It all went down one rainy evening
Gorilla got his goons to catch Lion sleeping
Loaded the banana clips
Heard Lion's at the farm [?] "let's handle this"
A little birdie got the word, told the parrot what he heard
Parrot repeated to Lion what's about to occur
Rhino said "I got your back, Lion, give me the word"
"I do my dirt all up on my lonely" that is what he preferred
[Bridge]
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Lion got his gun cocked, ready to burst
Waiting to give Gorilla a ride in back of a hearse
Gorilla creeping through in the whip
Hippopotamus yells "duck quick, it's a hit"
Lion pulls out the 9 millimeter spit
Aimed for Gorilla head, but he missed
Gorilla let off his banana clip, brings Lion in the hit
The buffalo stampede, Lion let off another six
Caught Gorilla in his chest, his blood drip
Another car pulls up, "who that", it's Gorilla's clique
His goons, Chimpanzee and Baboon
Lion only got one shot left, it's bad news
Gorilla laying, dying from gunshot wounds
Chimpanzee screaming "yo, buck that fool, Baboon"
Go for his gun, *click*, *boom*
Before the smoke cleared "damn, who shot who?"
Lion hit him in the face
Chimp pulls the gun from his waist, on a rampage spraying the place
Giraffes balling in the park move out the way caught a stray
Stool pigeon called the pigs on the scene right away
Lion shot chimp, run up on him with his gun cocked
The pig show up "halt [?]", the chimp drops
Got the cuffs on Lion, three hots and the cots
Sent him back to the zoo rest of his life, cage locked
It's like a jungle sometimes, it's hard knocks
Think about which animal you represent on the block
