Jungle
The S.O.G. Crew Lyrics

Stealthy feet as I walk through this jungle
Quietly moving through a challenging environment

It gets loud when those silverbacks rumble
Strong opponents causing chaos and noise

I sat down at the next tree
Took a moment to rest and reflect

Read the 8th Habit for about the next three hours
Engaged in personal development and growth

Looked up saw a black panther
Encountered a powerful and intimidating obstacle

My book dropped as I went for my hammer
Reacted quickly to a threatening situation

Fuck it
Expressing frustration and determination

I thought to myself
Engaging in internal dialogue and decision-making

If he wants to go to war he needs help
Realizing the need for support in a conflict

I grabbed my glock 23 from my left holster
Retrieving a firearm for defense

Got up real slow started moving closer
Approaching the panther cautiously

Creeping up towards the panther never looking back
Advancing carefully, focused on the objective

Artillery on me ready for the attack
Prepared and armed for combat

I heard a loud gunshot a couple miles back
Noticing an external threat in the distance

I wonder if I should load up my missile
Considering the use of heavier weaponry

Instead I thought about the current issue
Choosing to address the immediate challenge

Damn that fucking panther still looking at me
Feeling threatened and challenged by the panther

I had to think real fast before he charged at me
Needing to react quickly to avoid an attack

So I grabbed my AK off my right shoulder
Taking a more powerful weapon for defense

I aimed at him blew him back like the small soldiers
Successfully neutralized the panther with force

Now I'm headed back towards the gunshot
Returning to investigate the source of the gunshots

Started running with my guns and my weed dropped
Moving quickly, leaving behind non-essential items

Saw a silverback Gorilla to the right of me
Encountered another formidable opponent

I had to think of a plan with no fright in me
Remaining calm and strategizing despite fear

My feet planted in the quicksand
Feeling trapped and immobilized

I had to think of another God damn plan
Necessity to devise a new strategy

My feet sinking real fast in this quicksand
Feeling the urgency and danger of the situation

I put the missile on my shoulder ready for the plan
Preparing a powerful weapon as part of the plan

I yelled you don't want this war
Asserting dominance and warning the opponent

The missile launched off went right through his core
Successfully defeating the gorilla with destructive force

I grabbed my weed all my guns and I went straight
Collecting belongings and moving forward decisively

I found a mound started smoking next to a lake
Taking a moment to relax and enjoy the surroundings

It's a wild place in this jungle
Acknowledging the chaotic nature of the environment

I think fast and I prepare for the rumble
Reacting quickly and getting ready for confrontation

My self-control can get outta wack
Recognizing the potential loss of control in intense situations

I dig deep always hunting never look back
Maintaining focus and determination, moving forward

I grab my strap put the fear in them
Asserting dominance and intimidating opponents

Look up see my path with no fear again
Regaining confidence and clarity in direction

It gets harder to survive
Acknowledging increasing challenges and threats

When I'm in this Jungle and I'm trying to stay alive
Navigating through a dangerous environment, fighting for survival

I heard a gunshot again so I had to scram
Reacting to the sound of danger by retreating

I thought to myself damn I'm in another jam
Feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the circumstances

I clenched my stomach out of pain because I didn't eat
Experiencing physical discomfort due to lack of sustenance

It was late but I had to go find a treat
Recognizing the need for nourishment despite the late hour

Picked up my guns and my weed then I kept straight
Collecting essential items and continuing on my path

I thought to myself damn I really want a plate
Craving food and sustenance

I started walking to the right and saw taro root
Discovering a potential food source in the form of taro root

I leaned just to pick it up and I saw a yellow boot
Noticed an unexpected object, a yellow boot

I thought
Engaging in further thought and consideration

I wondered who's watching me
Questioning the presence of an observer

These guns long so it ain't no stopping me
Feeling confident in one's abilities and determination

I stood up and got back in stealth mode
Returning to a state of quiet and strategic movement

Forgot the fruit then prepared for the load
Prioritizing readiness for potential conflict over gathering food

I started walking towards their energy slowly
Approaching the source of the observer's energy cautiously

I saw their boot at the tree real closely
Noticing the observer's presence near the tree

It was about 20 feet straight ahead
Estimating the proximity of the observer

I yelled you don't want this lead
Issuing a warning and asserting dominance

You better show your face before you end up dead
Demanding the observer reveal themselves to avoid consequences

I'm gifted they don't want to get it twisted
Recognizing one's talents and warning others not to underestimate

I feel their energy strong from a distance
Sensing the observer's strong presence

I'm getting closer as I move with persistence
Continuing the approach with determination and perseverance

I heard a calm voice say from a distance
Encountering a voice that appears calm and non-threatening

Chill I'm only here to make a deal
Assuring the intention of peaceful negotiation

I'm 14 and my name is Jameel
Revealing the observer's age and identity

I was so confused I had to step back
Feeling puzzled and needing some distance to process

It was a younger me so I put my gun back
Recognizing the younger version of oneself and choosing non-violence
