A concrete jungle.....
living hard, dying young
street corner hang outs
a second place to roam
stolen cars speed by,
never knowing when to run
always watch your back
for danger or a gun
babies playin in the street
noone's watching, noone home
Narcs' making their rounds
pretending to serve and protect
slippin drug dealers crack
clockin their investment
hot summer nights.......
chillin on the porch
jammin on the Isley's
whateva music is enjoyed
spade games til 3 in tha morn
was the typical norm
there were bad times
sometimes there were good
life in the......concrete jungle
will never be understood
you fight hard to make it
plans of financial security
finally, leaving the hood
the concrete jungle.....
will always be my home
no matter how far I go
neva forget where I'm from
it was a needed lesson
taught to appreciate the poor
what dreams to reach for
what avenues to explore
The concrete jungle
a different part of life
yet, I know where I been
and the places in my life....I want to go
