Yo, it definitely is a concrete jungle

And yet there's more to life than misery

Life or death, you have to choose life
13
(I done seen it all, at least I think I seen it all)
14
I'm with my concrete jungle, no Tarzans and Janes
15
Diesel by the bundles and the hard grams of Caine
16
D's when they come through, it's hard to get some change
17
Smoking weed getting drunk, in the car for a flame
18
Yeah, I see the traffic but we dipping on the shoulder
19
Winter start to set in, it's only getting colder
20
And I miss you all my political soldiers
21
Most are doing life for moving bricks or doing hold-ups
22
Damn, I know we caught up in the fast life
23
Some like a fiend when they caught up on the glass pipe
24
Me, I'm still caught up from last night
25
Same clothes from the club on the block getting cash right
26
Damn, you know this world full of misery
27
Some get tore up 'til they hurl off the liquor be
28
Somebody told me that the girls need the chivalry
29
That's why I cop ice 'til they ass get the shivers be
30
Ain't nothing sweet living in this ghetto
31
(Ain't nothing sweet about it)
32
Been there, done that, running in the streets

Now put your lighters to your head, nigga ride

Trying to make the most of my hustle

(I gotta hustle)
37
Been there, done that, so I can live out all my dreams
38
(Live out my dreams)
39
Now put your lighters to your head, nigga ride
40
For the coke I would sleep hard
41
But the game drove me nuts, in the streets, I'm a full-fledged retard
42
Was the city block overseer
43
Man your life is Chuck E. Cheese, mine is a pizzeria
44
How many pies I done flipped? I lost count
45
How many guys I done gave shit? I lost count
46
Holding but I can't ignore cheating
47
Any day your life could be the hot topic at that board meeting
48
They discussing who'll stretch you for your trees
49
For your thievery, you living, you breathing for no fucking reason
50
That's how it is when you make a man
51
That's why your man's gotta learn to make himself then you shake his hand
52
Man, I'm into catching heavy clams
53
And when Dezzy can us when it comes to dumping I got heavy hands
54
Ain't gonna be right for your picking jet
55
This is ours, the square is where we eat, this our kitchenette

(Live out my dreams)
65
Now put your lighters to your head, nigga ride
66
I let my temper hit the floor
67
I be staring through the mirror as I serenade my halls
68
I'm fond of the juices that marinate they drawers
69
My shorty, she bank a carrot with the four 'cause
70
If you take us out, the streets will evolve
71
Some niggaz they live to eat, some niggaz eat to survive
72
And my conscience keep disturbing me, fucking with my energy
73
Niggaz that I thought was friends, really the enemy
74
Dear Lord, please grant me the serenity
75
To accept the things that I cannot change
76
Locked up for eight years and ain't join no gangs
77
Been converted to true nigga, I'm as real as they come
78
And any moment I have you staring the barrel of my gun
79
Put my dick up in the streets but I'm married to the slums
80
Put the chips up in the ante and tally up the sum
81
I'm having fun, hitting the fiends in the allies with some jums
82
Ain't nothing sweet living in this ghetto
83
(Ain't nothing sweet about it)
84
Been there, done that, running in the streets

(I'm running young, wild and free)

Now put your lighters to your head, nigga ride

(Live out my dreams, live out my dreams)
91
Now put your lighters to your head, nigga ride
92
Alright, yeah but in choosing life, you got choices
93
(Oh yeah)
94
The jungle is full of everything
95
It's the mother and the father of creation
96
(Ain't nothing sweet about it)
97
But listen up, you have to choose something for yourself
98
Do something for yourself, make something of yourself
99
That's what time it is
100
(Don't let go)
101
Go strong, be strong, stand for something in life
102
(All my young soldiers)
103
Yeah, concrete jungle, I can feel it, I can smell it
104
(Sometimes it gets hard)
105
Jim Jones is spitting truth, the power
106
(Don't let 'em pull your car over)
107
Now and forever more
108
Making life the way it should be
109
Ain't nothing sweet about it
110
Make me want to scream and shout it
111
But I know I got to hold on and just roll on
