[Intro]
Yeah, New York undercover, baby
Whole lotta things done changed
Yeah, there's a lot of people puttin' black guys onto game
Nahmean? Time to do this though

[Verse 1]
Check it
I had a block locked, but took a fall, now I'm off my feet
I gotta eat, so it's back to these fuckin' streets
And I won't grow 'cause I'm a old timer
I bring the drama to any n***a, his babies or his fuckin' mama
I got a look like Tevin Campbell
But still I gamble, hustle and scramble
'Cause money is muscles in this damn zoo
And in order to make it, you gotta take it
Be it boom, blast, booze, bend or break it, but don't fake it
That's why there's no guilt for these trife n***as' bloods I spilt
Took what they built, flippin' they drug game on tilt
'Cause in New York, dealin drugs is a sport
You either sell it, smoke it, shoot up or snort
Either way, you're caught
And since I'm in it, now I'm in it to win it — sky's is the limit
No more bein' some motherfucker's lieutenant
Shit! From this point that's how I feel, I wanna fly
Yeah, it's either doe or die
[Hook x2]
It's like a jungle sometimes
It's like a jungle sometimes
It's like a jungle sometimes
The weed smoke makes me wonder
How I keep from goin' under

[Verse 2]
And all the hoods I hang with mix slang in they language
Love kickin' that gang shit, sellin' on the same strip
Hustlin' hard no matter how much we're hated
So dedicated, even our dreams are drug related
Shit, puff bananas, not even the cops can stand us
'Cause of the way we vanish every time they come to can us
25, we get the money live, fuck all that funny jive
The streets is our only source to survive
And before any teeny-boppers think about tryin' to stop us
Y'all rather put your head through the propellers of a helicopter
'Cause all my peeps be playin' for keeps
Straight out the litter, so bitter
These bandits don't even need sweets
Bringin' the ruckus like some mad motherfuckers
Move at night like truckers
When suckers see us, they duck us
Sh-yeah! Only the real can relate to things a hungry man'll try
It's either doe or die
[Hook x2]
It's like a jungle sometimes
It's like a jungle sometimes
It's like a jungle sometimes
The weed smoke makes me wonder
How I keep from goin' under

[Verse 3]
And ever since I was a tar-faced baby watchin' Scarface
I dreamed of guns and tons of coke on a car chase
A fat connect with a kingpin Colombian
Plus props from crooked cops, payin' 'em tops not to run me in
Keepin' my toaster in a shoulder holster
Havin' hoes playin' me closer, sexin' on a silk sofa
Livin' the life of the rich and trife
Rugged, but sharp like a kitchen knife
Without stress from some bitchin' wife
What a life, that's why I be on what I be on
Always ready to war for a score that's sure to put me on
And until then, I won't seal in what I'm feelin'
It was inside that I cried, but now its spillin'
I'm goin' all out until I fall out, so much of a menace
When I finish milkin' New York, I'll have to fall out
On the run, 'cause I know Feds'll try to knock me
And railroad my soul to a hellhole if they got me
But not me, I'm goin out fightin' until I fry from hot lead, no lie
Like I said, it's either doe or die
(Doe or die, doe or die, doe or die)
It's either doe or die
[Hook]
It's like a jungle sometimes
It's like a jungle sometimes
It's like a jungle sometimes
The weed smoke makes me wonder
How I keep from goin' under

[Break]
Visualizin' the realism of life and actuality
Fuck who's the baddest, a person's status depends on salary

[Hook]
It's like a jungle sometimes
It's like a jungle sometimes
It's like a jungle sometimes
The weed smoke makes me wonder
How I keep from goin' under

[Outro]
If not, why not?
Either you're in it, or you're in the way, Baby Pah
New yields, no quills
I want it all

[Hook x2]
It's like a jungle sometimes
It's like a jungle sometimes
It's like a jungle sometimes
The weed smoke makes me wonder
How I keep from goin' under
