Lyrics
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 wont 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
interlude
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
