Jungle - Jah9

It’s a jungle out there and life is unfair

For the ones left to scrap for the scrapes

Generations have grown in the same situation:

Tribal warfare, chattel slavery and now taxes

The people never have enough and children are born fatherless

And families have no one to rely on

So from blood sweat and tears the solution appears

The pride needs defending by a lion

Will you be the one for the mountains and valleys are these city streets

Will you be the one to keep looking forward and never retreat

In this jungle out there with so many limitations

Set intentionally just for us to fail

With your plans in motion and standing in your power

And strength from your lioness you’re bound to prevail

The mission is for those who can endure

And won’t stand for injustice and oppression no more

And the journey is for everyone to share

When the lions are leading there is nothing to fear

Will you be the one, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets

Will you be the one to keep moving forward and never retreat

A future for the youth must be priority

Establishing a nation where they all will be free

To focus on spiritual cultivation

And find themselves through ancient preparation

In this jungle out there some people mek the evil rule dem nature

Turning life into a rat race

And the youths dem head a burn cause the only thing they’re learning

From those people’s how to rob you to your face

Instead of giving them guidance and encouragement

You’re provoking them daily giving rise to resent

But the tension that they’re building up inside

Will find direction and purpose in the lion pride

Will you be the one, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets

Will you be the one to keep moving forward and never retreat

Oh ‘cause it’s a jungle out there

A future for the youth must be priority

Establishing a nation where they all will be free

So the lionesses rise to the occasion

And nurture them with conscious meditation

It’s a jungle out there and life is unfair

For the ones left to scrap for the scrapes

Generations have grown in the same situation:

Tribal warfare, chattel slavery and now taxes

The people never have enough and children are born fatherless

And families have no one to rely on

So from blood sweat and tears the solution appears

The pride needs defending by a lion
