The Streets Are Like A Jungle

WYCLEF JEAN

[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,
