Jungle
Profesor Green ft. Maverick Sabre Lyrics

I see no point in living life that right,
I don't see the benefit in living a morally correct life.

so I just take what I can find.
I'll just take whatever opportunities or resources come my way.

When your out here in this jungle
Living in this rough environment,

It's wild round 'ere, you don't wanna spend a night round 'ere.
It's dangerous here, you wouldn't want to stay here overnight.

ain't nothing nice round 'ere,
There's nothing good or pleasant around here.

Troubles what you find round 'ere.
You'll encounter nothing but problems in this area.

Your always caught in this struggle,
You're constantly struggling,

But you keep asking for trouble, you love?
Yet, you seem to enjoy inviting more problems into your life?

Welcome to Hackney
Welcome to the Hackney borough of London,

A place where I think somebody's been playing Jumanji.
A chaotic and dangerous place where it seems like the game Jumanji is being played in real life.

A Manor where man are like animals,
A neighborhood where people behave like wild and aggressive animals.

An' they'll yam on you like they yam on food.
They will overpower and consume you like they would with food.

Cats with claws that'll stab a yout', act bad an' catch a slap or two.
Violent individuals who will use sharp weapons to harm others, but might also get punished for their actions.

We don't applaud success, all we clap are tools.
Achievements aren't celebrated, only weapons and tools for violence are recognized.

London ain't cool to cruise through where the hunters pray,
It's not safe to casually walk around London where people with malicious intentions roam.

Looking lunch today,
Searching for vulnerable people to harm.

And your chains looking like fresh fruit to a hungry ape.
Your jewelry appears valuable and tempting to those who are desperate for a profit.

They'll eat on you, then laugh about it like Hyenas do,
They will harm and exploit you, then mock you like predators do with their prey.

So stick to breezing through, like cheeta's do or be a piece of food.
Either move around quickly and cautiously like cheetahs, or become an easy target.

It's blitz amidst the strife here,
It's chaotic and violent in the midst of a troubled environment.

Got kids with sticks and knifes here.
Even young people are involved in carrying weapons for self-defense or aggression.

It's hype here, we know no different prick;
It's the norm to live in such an aggressive and dangerous neighborhood.

It's just life here, life the way we know from young the way we're shown.
This is how we have learned and grown up, violence is normal and pervasive.

Stacked trapped in flats where our front doors don't face the road.
Living in crowded apartments where security is low and there's no direct access to the outside world.

God CID spinning round in cars, shifting criminals at large, it's hard,
Even the police struggles to keep up with the amount of criminal activity happening in the area.

Not to think the bits are just a bing without the bars.
Thinking that this area is just a jail cell without actual walls.

Jealousy's what the cheddar brings, for the cheddar it's anything goes,
People are envious of those who have wealth or power, and they're willing to do anything to gain that status.

Low enough to rob newly weds for their wedding rings
Some individuals are so desperate for money that they will resort to stealing expensive personal items from innocent people.

Everyday is warring, never give a warning,
There's constant conflict and violence without any warning or ceasefire.

Violence is the only way you settle things, everyday is hating,
The only way to resolve disputes and issues is through violence, which leads to a pervasive environment of hatred.

Money that I'm making, jealous 'cause I'm moving on to better things,
People are envious of others who are succeeding or making money, leading to more resentment and aggression.

Everyday is fighting, rolling in the night now.
There's constant fighting and conflict even during the night time.

All you do is watch everyone else get far, you say that life is hard
You feel left behind as others are able to escape or succeed in this environment, making you feel like life is unfair or difficult.

But you keep asking for trouble,
Despite the dangers and difficulties of living in this place,

You love when trouble comes your way, your way, your way.
You seem to seek excitement and danger even when it puts you in harm's way.
