The Message
Stunt Nuts Lyrics

It's like a jungle sometimes
Living in this environment is like being in the jungle

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
I wonder how I have managed to survive in this tough environment

Broken glass everywhere
There is broken glass scattered everywhere

People pissin' on the stairs, you know they just don't care
People urinate on the stairs and do not show any sign of remorse or care

I can't take the smell, can't take the noise
I can't tolerate the smell and the loud noise in this environment

Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
I cannot afford to move out of this place, so I am stuck here

Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
There are rats in my front room and cockroaches in the back

Junkies in the alley with a baseball bat
Drug addicts in the alley carrying baseball bats

I tried to get away but I couldn't get far
I tried to escape, but my attempt was not successful

Cause a man with a tow truck repossessed my car
My car got repossessed by a man with a tow truck

Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
Please do not push or aggravate me because I am already on the brink of losing control

I'm trying not to lose my head
I am struggling to stay in control and not lose my temper

Standin' on the front stoop hangin' out the window
Standing on the front porch, hanging out of the window

Watchin' all the cars go by, roarin' as the breezes blow
Watching the cars pass by as the wind roars

Crazy lady, livin' in a bag
Mad woman living in a bag

Eatin' outta garbage pails, used to be a fag hag
She is scavenging through garbage bins for food, she used to be solely associated with homosexual men

Said she'll dance the tango, skip the light fandango
She claims she will dance energetically or with excitement

A Zircon princess seemed to lost her senses
An unknown status but seemed to have lost her mind

Down at the peep show watchin' all the creeps
Watching all the creepy people at the adult entertainment store

So she can tell her stories to the girls back home
She is watching so she can tell her female friends about what she saw when she gets home

She went to the city and got so so seditty
She moved to the city and became so fancy and spent lavishly

She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own
She could not function independently, so she had to acquire a pimp

My brother's doin' bad, stole my mother's TV
My brother is not doing well, he stole my mother's television

Says she watches too much, it's just not healthy
He claims that my mother watches too much television, which is not healthy

Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
I cannot even watch the game or the Sugar Ray fight on TV

The bill collectors, they ring my phone
I receive too many calls from debt collectors

And scare my wife when I'm not home
My wife gets frightened when I am not around, mainly because of the bill collector calls

Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
I received a substandard education, and there is a high increase in the cost of living

Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
I cannot take a train to work because of strike action at the railway station

Neon King Kong standin' on my back
I feel like I have a neon King Kong gorilla metaphorically standing on my back, signifying I am overburdened with problems and responsibilities

Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
I cannot stop or even turn around because I suffer from a painful sacroiliac, hindering my movement

A mid-range migraine, cancered membrane
I suffer from a mid-range migraine and membrane cancer

Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane
Sometimes, I feel like I am losing my mind

I swear I might hijack a plane!
I jokingly threaten to hijack an airplane

A child is born with no state of mind
A child is born without a judgmental or negative state of mind

Blind to the ways of mankind
The child is not aware of the complexities and faults of humanity

God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too
God is both pleased and unhappy with you

Because only God knows what you'll go through
Only God knows what challenges you will face in life

You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second-rate
Growing up in the ghetto makes it almost impossible to live a premium life

And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate
You will develop a deep feeling of hatred due to the things you will see and experience

The places you play and where you stay
The places you live and the areas you reside

Looks like one great big alleyway
The environment feels like one large alleyway

You'll admire all the number-book takers
You will respect or admire the individuals who run the illegal lottery in your community

Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers
You will also respect the drug dealers, pimps, and other big money earners in your community

Drivin' big cars, spendin' twenties and tens
You will see the big earners of your community driving/living lavish lifestyles and spending large amounts of money

And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them, huh
You will aspire to become like them (big earners) when you grow up

Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers
You will come into contact with smugglers, gamblers, burglars, and other criminal elements

Pickpocket peddlers, even panhandlers
You will encounter pickpockets, peddlers, and panhandlers around your community

You say I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool
You may have the impression that I am cool, but I am no fool

But then you wind up droppin' outta high school
However, you may end up dropping out of high school despite my perceived coolness

Now you're unemployed, all non-void
You are now jobless, and it fills like an empty void

Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
Pretending to be successful or rich, like the notorious Pretty Boy Floyd

Turned stick-up kid, but look what you done did
Turning into a thief but without realizing the consequences of my actions

Got sent up for a eight-year bid
I am imprisoned for eight years, for my wrongdoing

Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag
Losing your manhood and being treated like an insignificant object or an insignificant person

Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
Spending the next two years as a secret homosexual

Bein' used and abused to serve like hell
Being forced to perform various degrading tasks and being abused

Til one day, you was found hung dead in the cell
Until one day, you were found hanging dead in your cell

It was plain to see that your life was lost
It became evident that you lost your life through imprudent actions

You was cold and your body swung back and forth
Your body was cold and swung back and forth indicating your lifeless state

But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
Your eyes appear to express a sad and mournful song

Of how you lived so fast and died so young so
Of how you lived a life of reckless opulence and died young

It's like a jungle sometimes
Living in this environment is like being in a jungle

It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under
I wonder how I have managed to survive in this tough environment
