(Intro)
Oh Nooooo
Well dis is Red Rat's cry
To deh people and from deh yutes which is I and I
To deh yutes eh fi gi a helpin' hand
Yeh the struggle lawd and I and I understand

(Yo! Singin' it off deh streets,)
(yeh! No 'ave got shoes, sleepin' on deh col' concrete.)

Chorus:
In the jungle the cardboard jungle the lion sleeps tonight
(dis is serious!)
In the jungle the cardboard jungle the lion sleeps tonight

Yo!
Street side are we base
We don't have we own place
On the bushead we jam
Out of bare backs we am
Time hard so you can' wash face
An' if you see we 'pon deh streets I jammin'
Me and di tear up batty pants crew hangin'
An' nuff people we beg
Some tun wi dem head
So we a presha dem lawd
We tun naggin'
Dat's why we grab we bucket and clots
Wash people car an' clean deh glass
But every now an' den some stooge folks pass
Me all cop dem window and tell we no boss
An' we would beg dem a ten or a twenty
Dat's small to dem but to we ah plenty

When we ah hustle da road
We really cannot afo'd
Fi nigh' come and we pocket empty
'cause!

Fi wear ah Hilfiger is me greatest wish
An' I eat sumptin' outta pirate's dish
Me have a one shoes it look Nike Airish
Cah me write Nike 'pon deh Air Jordan swish
Somebody come check me fi go fight politics
Seh election a come an' me wi make money quick
But when me run back di video listen to di skit
Me no tink me body 'gree wi dah yon public
Well, look how me slim like me deh 'pon dah yacht
Me ah de holy magga one all am iffa belly fat
Anna if na but starvation do dat
Dats why Goofy favor want to cah fi Red Rat Bat

We no have we own place
On deh bushead me jam
Outta bare backs we am
Time hard so you can wash face

(Hey! Well fi finda shelta for di homeless yutes!)

(Hey! Dis is serious, we no wan' no excuse,)
