Claude Forte - The Jungle Lyrics

(I was ten years old when I wrote my first rap
Still remember when the homies went to cop the first sack
I'm from city where they make it but they never look back
It's modern rebels worldwide where we bridging all the gaps
Too many people down
When we not around
Walk through
They on mute never hear sound
Y'all spoon fed
But over here we building from the ground
Stay on my game never catch me rolling with no clowns
For awhile I hid it all behind the smiles
Balmain if we talking bout styles
That beef get cooked over rice, just like halal
And people only gone do what you allow
Them raining days man I hope it take the pain away
Never complain get to working then I say my grace
Y'all living safe
But pretend to live a different way
Just be grateful and humbled you got a place to lay)

(Cus in the jungle everyday another rumble
Can't slip, can't fall, can't stumble
We was raised to never put nothing above you
I'm from city where the youngin's gotta hustle. )

(Let's unite our people instead of dividing
Lend our shoulders to mothers when they crying
Put down the guns to many youngin's is dying
Stop the fabrication on the Gram nomore lying
Open your eyes lil nigga they want you blinded
It's more to life then jewelry I know you shining
You gotta look at your life just like a diamond
Standing strong and tough through every climate
We been so focused lately, man it doesn't make no sense
Y'all be lying bout cars that you know you rent
It ain't about what you wearing or how much that you spent
It's bout the legacy you leave when your life ends
I'm like metal
Cus I don't fold and I don't never bend
Pray to the lord everyday cus a nigga sin
Crabs in the barrel bring us down when we tryna win
Claim y'all be riding, wasn't riding even to begin
They knocked us down now it's time to get back up
They ain't no goons man them youngins just act tough
When shit hit the fan they like the cops, call for back up
Blowing smoke like a nigga tryna match up
Y'all digging holes that the docs can't patch up
While we building over here money stacks ups
But nowhere close to ceiling my money talk
Y'all be chilling don't give a f*ck how you feeling
Cus half them niggas be squealing
I'm breaking barriers and climbing over mountains
This money coming in rain drops like a fountain
I'm talking Mo money Damon Wayne's my accountant
They spreading hatred all across the world
It's so astounding)

(Cus in the jungle everyday another rumble
Can't slip, can't fall, can't stumble
We was raised to never put nothing above you
I'm from city where the youngin's gotta hustle)

(Yeahhh
Where them youngings gotta grind
24/7 and working a 9-5
Tryna survive)

(Cus in the jungle everyday another rumble
Can't slip, can't fall, can't stumble
We was raised to never put nothing above you
I'm from city where the youngin's gotta hustle)
