“Concrete Jungle” is both a metaphor and a very real place. As a metaphor, “Concrete Jungle” evokes the worst aspects of modern urban life. Cold structures of concrete and steel, with manmade towers casting the earth into shadow by blocking out the sun.
[intro]
This is me that music has a lot
Of influence on a lot of young people today
The politics are gaining broader
I don't know you know how to get it
Captain in Mississippi barely understand
Except when he says America
[verse]
Grown boy got to pick up his pants
Skin fizzling from the sun
Aren't we all colored?
Life is just grey
Like the rain clouds
So much riot outside
Mind on the silent
Trying keep the peace
All my homies buying a piece
Over fear on who pocket watching
12 knocking on doors
Homes going foreclosed
Only ones winning lotto
Are really the banks
We killing over stacks
Or who got more racks?
Whole U.S. really chiraq
People panicking
They can't take enough
Life tough
You worried about being cuffed?
Selfish mind never proceed
Surivial of the fittest
So much greed
Where did the peace and love go?
Now we going toe to toe
On who got more
We can't leap over it
Reaching happiness
What is that?
Cause we all lost in America
Living a dream
When will we connect the dots
Calling females thots
Brought into a world called hell
Here to dwell and burn
Until we find true happiness
What is that?
