Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Is it different from the jungle, the way that I'm livin'
People are mistaken but they must be forgiven
Oh, sins of man in his freedom society
Colours increase, make various variety
[?] take one for another
Black or white, treat each man as your brother
So learn the lessons and you will see
It's a concrete jungle for you and me
It's a concrete jungle for you and me
[Chorus]
Is it different from the jungle, the way that I'm livin'
Peoplе are mistaken but they must bе forgiven, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
See, there's a lot of people out there in the wide city
Tell you something, and it is a pity
People talking news and people talking money
The man on the corner won't talk about money
Another [?] I learned about the jungle
If you make an error, then you gotta stumble
Expression, progression is your only downfall
Push it aside, man, you don't care at all
You see, it's a concrete jungle for you and me
[Verse 3]
Born and bred instead of being raised
Rapers still raping and muggers getting paid
Politicians do taxing, rules too wacky
Immigrants oppressed and then sent packing
[Verse 4]
I must be [?], man, the [?] justice
The battle on society's so wicked and corrupted
Padded on a corner, tryna make a new [?]
I'm spending the money on another new burnout
Trapped in the maze of a beast captivity
What we want is enough positivity
So listen to the words that are just said
In the concrete jungle, you're gonna wind up dead
In the concrete jungle, you're gonna wind up dead
[Chorus]
Is it different from the jungle, the way that I'm livin'
People are mistaken but they must be forgiven
Is it different from the jungle, the way that I'm livin'
Seems too discontent, but where is the given, oh yeah
Is it different from the jungle, the way that I'm livin'
It's a concrete jungle for you and me
Down in the jungle
It's a concrete jungle for you and me
Oh yeah
[Bridge]
Stick upon the rhythm, [?] aversion
The concrete jungle in a [?] land, yes
On the rhythm, [?] aversion
The concrete jungle in a [?] land
So stick upon the rhythm, [?] aversion
The concrete jungle in a [?] land, yes
On the rhythm, [?] aversion
The concrete jungle in a [?] land
[Verse 6]
I tell 'em, depression, [?] oppressor
The way that we're living can only get better
The rules that are set are full of corruption
One man's mind, political seduction
Why do we sit there, why do we sit back
Get your brain into action, get ready to attack
If we don't stand up and fight the regime
You're gonna end up dead, you know what I mean
