Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Man dem over 'ya suh have more guns than police
Hungry man ah rob fi put some food on him plate
Dah dirty preacher boy 'yah, him just get charge for rape
Four ah we ah share a bed and that's just how we living
Try nuh walk the lane at night, yuh goodly end up missing
Damn
Di heavy machine fi closer to you than yuh friend
Hunger mek you lay down, cyaan' wait fi di light come
Jungle this, no kingdom
(No more war inna di ghetto, no more war, yes)
Soldier come we haffi scatter, try fi put we inna shackle
Take we goods, knock off we hustle, haffi stash away the duffel
Ah madness inna mi city, nuh bother beg, no pity
Kill the shooter but can never kill the mentality
Damn
Hard fi we dream cah we nuh see no happy end
Di heavy machine fi closer to you than yuh friend
Hunger mek you lay down, cyaan' wait fi di light come
Jungle, this no playground
Beg you pray fi di children and teach dem respect
Is a crazy life we living, yoi nuh know who's next
Manipulate we wid dem system and nuh care who vex
Need more than just a prayer, Jah-Jah, please, send help
Damn
Hard fi we dream cah we nuh see no happy end
Di heavy machine fi closer to you than yuh friend
Hunger mek you lay down, cyaan' wait fi di light come
Jungle this, no kingdom
"Jungle" by Jada Kingdom is a powerful social commentary on the harsh realities of life in the ghetto. The song describes the struggles and dangers of living in a violent and impoverished area, where hunger and crime are rampant, and the police are often outnumbered by armed gangs. The lyrics warn listeners to be careful when walking the streets and to avoid certain areas at night, as they could easily become victims of crime. The song also calls attention to the issue of sexual assault and the need for justice for victims.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the bleakness of life in the ghetto, with the repeated phrase "Jungle this, no kingdom." This line suggests that life in the ghetto is not just difficult but also dangerous and lawless, with no clear order or justice. The song also touches on the themes of faith and hope, with the singer calling on listeners to pray for the children and for help from a higher power.
