Take a safari through this jungle where the jeep’s got no tires! Take a safari through this jungle where there’re people designed In the likeness of God, but they’re likened to crime On a safari through this jungle where the street stinks Paid dues where the root is always chalk it up to instinct Methinks they all wrong, the hood works in kanban A mil waiting to take your place, won’t miss you once you’re long gone Choose prey or predator, AKs from leopards The same range to dead em, best maintain the pressure Make way for success hit delay on the pleasure A stain to their record, good great for the better In the fourth quarter, play my four corners Bust a trap set to claim my reward I lay claim to corner offices, I warn Myself that those don’t exist in the morgue So, sit back hit that radio dispatch Fuck it, they won’t take my glory, hit that {click-clack} Syntactical errors in approach conceded Gotta make my rips, a solid fill on quotas needed As he leans over leakage, the horror unleashes Momentarily defeated and I wish I’d never seen it
