The Streets Are Like A Jungle Lyrics

[Wyclef]

 One, two...

 One, two-One,two...

 Yo!

 

 [Chorus]

 Hey yo! The Streets Are Like A Jungle

 I'm countin' money in the jungle

 Hey yo! The Streets Are Like A jungle

 Guns go off in the jungle

 

 [Wyclef - Verse One]

 I tip my derby like Zorro

 Ain't no such things as war heroes

 Frontline planes fly by, like the sparrow (BLAOW!)

 My face hits the dirt, flashbacks of Vietnam

 Remind me of the L.A. riots, when it was on

 Fire hits the street, neon lights are bright

 My tank cuts the corner, enemies take flight (That's right!)

 Make no mistake, you can't have this cake it took too long to bake

 and you can't carry this weight, so move on

 These are the words of the elders

 Babysitters got caught with cocaine in a baby's diapers

 Explain that, in the form of a rap

 She got caught with vals, A-CRACK-A-LACK-A-LACK!!!

 Now I'm upset, I get back to the projects

 First one I blast was a usual suspect, a fiend

 In the alley, named Ricky

 Talked to a Det. rookie, gave him the info

 About the paliquo, and where he gotta go

 All he want in return is a Sony stereo

 

 [Chorus 1x]

 

 [Wyclef - Verse Two]

 Hey yo my mind is my business so I'm...

 Minding my own, in the club 'til this girl said,

 "Let me see your telephone"

 I passed her my celly

 She called her girl Mary

 And said that she just broke up with her nigga out in D.C.

 She needs a new honey, in the city she gets lonely

 I finally figured out her man's locked up in a penatentary

 So tell me, what should I do when she gets off the phone?

 The devil said, "Clef, take her ass home!"

 God says, "Repect her, her man's in the pen"

 This kid pushed me from behind, "Yo, why you fuckin' with my woman?!!!"

 Then his girl looked at me, she winked! I blinked!

 Now he's coming up to me with the gorilla instinct

 Aww, cool-n-shit! I'm sittin' here eatin' shrimp

 Besides, I would hate for you to be a missing link

 He said, "Son, do you know who I am?! I'm no man, but one man

 who? The son of Sam!"

 I said you've got this wrong, I never sung your girl a love song

 He drew for his weapon, there's no more conversation

 Cock!Cock!Cock!Cock!Cock!Cock! He released! 

 then breathe, His aim went off balance

 The music got tense

 That's when I knew I was in trouble! The street is like a jungle!

 I jumped behind the bar, but caught two in the ankle! POW! (Echo)
