Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh, uh, yeah
Oh watch me!
Queen, queen of the jungle!
I am the queen of the concrete jungle
Lying on the scene, is dangerous, oh!
I am the queen of the concrete jungle
Lying on the scene, is dangerous, oh!
They were underestimating, now they're rating
They were on the other side of the ...
But it's alright, it's al, it's alright
Cause when I'll arrive
They'll be surprised when the lion is roar
When this lion is roar
I am the queen of the concrete jungle
Lying on the scene, is dangerous, oh!
I am the queen of the concrete jungle
Lying on the scene, is dangerous, oh!
I'm watching, even when they think I'm sleeping
Cause I'mma be too late when you see me coming
Cause when the time is right, all my enemies will be weeping
The world will know my name!

I am the queen of the concrete jungle
Lying on the scene, is dangerous, oh!
I am the queen of the concrete jungle
Lying on the scene, is dangerous, oh!
I walk in faith, I'm stepping with love
And yeah, don't walk the valley of the shadow with lights across
I'm dreaming right next to me
I'm taking control
I'm breaking, I'm breaking free with love in my soul!
I am the queen of the concrete jungle, concrete jungle yeah
Lying on the scene, is dangerous, oh!
I am the queen of the concrete jungle
Lying on the scene, is dangerous, oh!
I am the queen of the concrete jungle
Queen, oh queen, yeah queen
It's a related queen!
Queen, queen, of the concrete jungle, concrete jungle




Lying on the scene, is dangerous, oh!
Oh, yeah queen, yeah, oh, oh, oh, yeah, queen!
