Ain't no-, ooh

Ain't no love-
Ain't no-, no-, no-, like-
Ain't no-, ooh
Ain't no-, no-, no-, like-
Sailin' in the chopper
Road killin' like we vultures (vultures, vultures, vultures)
I became the queen when I rode with them brothers (brothers, brothers, brothers)
Turned to, turned to, turned to lion
I eat nightmares for supper (supper, supper, supper)
Braap-braap, one command
And I'll sick 'em on another (on another, on another, on another)
Ain't no love in the jungle
Ain't no-, no-, no-, like
Ain't no-, no-, no- (ooh)

Kill or be killed
Drill or be drilled
It's heatin' up by the temperature still
We goin' bananas, lyrics to feel
I don't got no manners, don't got no chill
Every man for themselves, they can't hide in the field
Eye to the jungle, I'm grippin' the wheel
Bitch, I keep a pole, I like playin' with steel
Ain't no love in this heat
Ain't no love in these streets (braap-brrap)
Ain't no love when it's war
Ain't no love when it's peace (braap-brrap)
Ain't no love in these drugs
Ain't no love in these drinks (braap-brrap)
Ain't no love in the jungle

God, it's- (woah) (braap-braap)
I like fightin', I like dancin'
Every pose I might catch me candid
I like cinnamon, I like candy
Make him think he can, but he can't have me, no
Hatin' ass bitch got my name in her throat
Get your ass up, baby girl, let's go
(go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)
Bitch ain't no love in this heat
Ain't no love in these streets
Ain't no love when it's war
Ain't no love when it's peace (braap-brrap)
Ain't no love in these drugs
Ain't no love in these drinks (braap-brrap)

The lyrics of Rico Nasty's song "Jungle" convey a sense of rawness and intensity, reflecting a world where love is scarce and survival is paramount. The repeated refrain of "Ain't no-, no-, no-, like, Ain't no love-" sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the absence of love within the metaphorical jungle.
The first verse suggests a chaotic and predatory environment, likening the singer to a queen riding with her brothers. They navigate this "jungle" by embracing their ferocious and fearless nature, feasting on nightmares and ready to attack their enemies at a moment's notice. The repetition of "Braap-braap, one command, And I'll sick 'em on another" further emphasizes their power and dominance in this dangerous world.
The chorus reinforces the theme of lovelessness in the jungle, emphasizing that there is no love to be found anywhere. The repeated commands and sounds of "Braap-braap, command, command" serve as a manifestation of the singer's authority and control in this harsh environment.
The following verse continues with a strong and confident tone, expressing a willingness to fight and defy societal norms. The lines "Every man for themselves, they can't hide in the field, Eye to the jungle, I'm grippin' the wheel, Bitch, I keep a pole, I like playin' with steel" suggest a survival mentality, where trust is scarce and self-defense is paramount. The absence of love is further explored in relation to drugs, drinks, and the singer's own emotions, reinforcing the theme of desolation.
The final part of the chorus reiterates the absence of love in the jungle and emphasizes the uniqueness of this loveless existence. The lines "God, it's like" suggest a sense of resignation or acceptance of this harsh reality. The repetition of "Ain't no-, no-, no-, like" further emphasizes this unusual and loveless state.
Overall, "Jungle" by Rico Nasty presents a vivid picture of a harsh, loveless world where survival instincts dominate and love seems impossible to find. The lyrics express a strong and fierce character who embraces her power and rules the jungle with authority, representing a metaphorical exploration of resilience and self-preservation in a hostile environment.
