Animal Planet
GZA/The Genius Lyrics

Welcome to the Jungle where the cat loves to scratch
Welcome to a dangerous place filled with predators and competition.

The rat squeals
Even the smallest creatures struggle and make noise in this jungle.

And the polar bear feasts on the blubber of seals
Survival in this jungle often requires taking advantage of others' weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

The pack of wolves be scheming on a bunch of gazelles
Predators are always looking for opportunities to hunt and succeed.

Here the leopards grab the wilderbeast down by it's tail
Predators use different tactics to catch their prey, and some are more brutal than others.

You see the chimps they grow hips they hustle and sling in trees
Even primates have to fight for resources and territory in this jungle.

Elephants for security that move tons of leaves
Larger animals often provide protection and support for others in the jungle.

The bluebirds arrest parrots that love to talk
Animals with different abilities and traits may clash or compete with each other in this jungle.

Or eagles that stalk fresh-water trout under the wing of the hawk
Even predators themselves can become prey, or they may collaborate to achieve a common goal.

You see the vultures pick the pocket of whatever remains
Some animals have to scavenge or fight over scraps in order to survive in this jungle.

In the brain we watch but a shadow of the lion's mane
The jungle always has more to it than what we can see or understand from the surface.

Whose roar is loud enough to take the stripes from a zebra
The strongest and most powerful animals in the jungle command fear and respect from others.

He camouflage his bets and his spots of a cheetah
Some animals use stealth and deception to hunt, survive, or protect themselves in this jungle.

Shouldn't gamble with a cheetah and not expect to get beat
Challenging or underestimating a dangerous animal often leads to defeat.

You silly goose you know he move fast on his feet
It's foolish to underestimate or disregard the agility and speed of certain animals in this jungle.

Now you're neck deep in depth with a bunch of lone sharks
Getting involved in dangerous situations or dealing with ruthless animals can be treacherous and deadly.

So you move on a colony of ants with aardvarks, you see
Sometimes animals have to form alliances or work together to achieve a common goal or survive threats in the jungle.

Most of the everglades controlled by the gators
Certain animals may dominate or assert control over certain territories or ecosystems in the jungle.

It was crashed by the crocs who came years later
The balance and stability of the jungle can be disrupted or altered by new arrivals or invasive species.

See the locusts had swarmed with the bees
Different animals may interact or coexist in complex ways in this jungle.

The tick moved with the fleas
Even parasites thrive and compete for survival in this jungle.

The dragonflies and the wasps shared with the seas
Animals in the jungle may interact with other ecosystems or environments across the globe or locally.

The crab and the leeches sucked your blood flow
Certain animals may exploit or harm others in the jungle, even if it means sacrificing their own safety or well-being.

And they laugh like hyenas when they out to catch dough
Some animals may have a sadistic or violent streak, or they may revel in the misfortune or distress of others in the jungle.

See a million mosquitos from the West now
The jungle is constantly changing and adapting to different environmental factors or pressures.

Carrying the virus that made the boars less wild
External factors or events beyond the control of animals can impact their survival or behavior in the jungle.

Out of fear of the deer watch for the eye of the tiger
Animals in the jungle are always watching out for threats and competition, even from unexpected sources.

The Clutch from the Cobra and the venomous viper
Dangerous animals in the jungle may have unique abilities or weapons to assert control or dominance over others.

Boa-constrictors that cut your circulation
Certain animals in the jungle may use suffocation or constriction to hunt or defend themselves.

Most of their prayers die from broke bones and suffocation
Predators in the jungle can be ruthless and unforgiving, resulting in death or severe injury for their prey.

The owls are private eyes that watch from the bark
Some animals in the jungle have unique or specialized abilities to observe or track others, whether for hunting or survival.

Black panthers are the militant who strike in the dark

Porcupines had a rep' for sticking everything that moved
Certain animals in the jungle may have negative or harmful reputations among others, but this can also serve as a form of protection or defense.

In areas that the rhinos and hippos approved
Certain animals in the jungle may be able to coexist or collaborate with each other in certain areas or environments.

And the giraffe was a look-out for gorillas in the mist

And the bats use their sonar to guide and assist
Certain animals in the jungle may have unique abilities or traits that help them navigate or locate food or resources.

Those pelicans who smuggle contraband for the whale
Certain animals in the jungle may have unique or surprising relationships or collaborations with others.

While the skunks spray the scent to keep the dogs off the trail
Some animals in the jungle may use unique or unconventional tactics to defend themselves or assert their dominance.

The scorpion set up a sting for sly foxes

That use stool pigeons just to keep them in the boxes

While the black widow laid a web for the bachelor
Certain animals in the jungle may be highly efficient or cunning hunters or predators, using unique tactics or weapons to catch their prey.

Like daddy-long-leg and his hype man, tarantula
Some animals in the jungle may form partnerships or alliances to achieve a specific goal or collaborate for survival.

They both prey on gra**hoppers beetles and flies
Different animals in the jungle may have different or shifting roles or positions within their shared ecosystem.

And they all become instant meals the moment it dies
Life in the jungle is fierce and unforgiving, with creatures constantly fighting for survival or dominance at the expense of others.

What costs little, is a little worth
In the jungle, the smallest or least impressive animals may still play important roles or contribute to the overall ecosystem.

So some lose they lives wandering on the wrong turf
Navigating the jungle can be dangerous and unpredictable, with some animals making fatal or costly mistakes when venturing into new environments or territories.

From birth they grow up walking the thin line
Animals in the jungle are always in a precarious position, constantly balancing the need for survival and the threat of danger and competition.

It's like the jungle sometimes
The jungle is a complex and unpredictable ecosystem, filled with danger, competition, and a constant struggle for survival and dominance.
