Freeway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cocaine flipper, get caught
No name, no blame, I will never ? niggas
Pay what I owe and never short-change niggas
Delta 88 or the sports Range?, Scarface
Stick to the script, I never snort 'caine, should've been
On that Meek Mill song 'I'm a Boss'
Even if I take a loss, have the lawyers at the court date
Nigga, fall back, I'm on stimpack part 8?
You're at the park, I post at the park gates
Fly overseas, come home, tear apart states
Your chick hear my music, hear her heart rate
Race like the Porsche Panamera to my parking space
Y'all hate, we're glorious, victorious
We supply flavor like Lawry so you all can taste
Let me show you how we do it in the jungle
Make work tumble, move it by the bundle
My hood push birds like Alfred Hitchcock
Make work flip-flop, move it by the nick drop
Don't know how you do this, how we do it in the jungle
Make work tumble, move it by the bundle
My hood push birds like Alfred Hitchcock
Make work flip-flop, move it by the nick drop
Got locked, did my tick-tock, did not
Go back, no rat for federal, forget it, won't
Say a single letter out the alphabet, I'm credible
Cause my flow is so incredible I got it Ziploc'ed
Y'all be wearing skinnies, I am never wearing skinnies
But my tires are skinny, got the Benny on flip-flops
Henny on ice, got a couple killers with me
Pretty Boy Face with me, and you know they on his top
Beard on, ? gear on, four-dos on
Therefore, all the hoes gonna flizzock
Shows on lizzock, hope you get the message
In my hood they call me Tetris, put a block on the blizzock
Hopscotch, king? ball, my hood ring off
Shots that will put your Popeye in a bizzox
Rob for the money, we don't rob for the joy
Bitter leprechaun boy, got me eyes on the pizzot
Let me show you how we do it in the jungle
Make work tumble, move it by the bundle
My hood push birds like Alfred Hitchcock
Make work flip-flop, move it by the nick drop
Don't know how you do this, how we do it in the jungle
Make work tumble, move it by the bundle
My hood push birds like Alfred Hitchcock
Make work flip-flop, move it by the nick drop
The song "Jungle" by Freeway is a rap that describes the street life he experienced in his neighborhood, where he had to survive the jungle-like conditions by dealing drugs. In the first verse, Freeway explains that he is a "propane spitter" and "cocaine spitter," meaning that he can spit out a lot of raps and lyrics, equating it to his ability to sell propane and cocaine, respectively. He also says that he "pays what he owes" and does not "short-change" anyone, indicating that he is trustworthy and reliable. Freeway portrays himself as a hard-working person who is always sticking to the script and never deviating from his principles.
The chorus of the song emphasizes how the people in Freeway's neighborhood work together to sell drugs and make money. He mentions that they move the drugs by the "bundle” and "nick drop" to maximize sales. The second verse depicts Freeway's struggles with the law and how he stays out of trouble. He says he knows better than to give information to the federal authorities about his business. Freeway also describes his flashy lifestyle with references to luxury cars, money, and women. However, he balances the luxurious lifestyle with his understanding of the dangerous and illegal activity he is engaged in.
The song offers insight into the life of people dealing drugs in impoverished neighborhoods. It offers a picture of camaraderie among different players in the game, and the struggles of those who have to make difficult choices to get ahead. Furthermore, his message is clear in explaining the dangers of a lifestyle where jail or death are constant threats.
