Track six off A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s debut mixtape, Artist, tells the story of Highbridge, a neighborhood in the Bronx, where A Boogie grew up. Throughout the song, A Boogie compares the neighborhood to a “Jungle”—an idea he came up with when reflecting on the issues in his neighborhood:
One day...
[Intro]
You gotta D Stackz beat
Nigga, this is what that jungle do
You been plottin', nigga, wasn't you?
I should've never even fucked wit' you
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I started in the back, had to skip the line though
I'ma keep that shit a stack 'til my fucking time go
Niggas throw you in the shade 'cause they wanna shine though
Nigga throw me in the grave in a Ferragamo
Man I can't believe they killed my fucking bro Quado
Shit was so deep I had to say that with my eyes closed
That shit made me wanna treat a nigga like he John Doe
Nine on me, Rondo, now that nigga John Doe, ha
[Bridge 1]
This is all I ever wanted, nigga
Why would I let you take it from me, nigga?
I ain't stupid, ain't no dummy nigga
A couple fingers on a couple triggers
Fuck with you, why would I fuck with you?
You been plottin', nigga wasn't you?
I should have been watching from the jump with you
Fuck it, this is what that jungle do
[Verse 2]
Started, what I started
Anybody want a problem, this is my shit
Tell 'em if they want a problem I'm from Highbridge
Got a nigga with a shotgun up in my whip
Making bitches go retarded with this hard dick
Why you think my name is Artist? I'm an artist
I woke up to a ménage, I'm just being honest
I get money, if I want it, I'ma cop it
If a nigga want static, let him have it
Have you ever seen a mini semi-automatic?
It go dumb like a drum, hear the beat blastin'
When it come to that fire, I'm a fucking dragon, ha
[Chorus]
Nigga, this is what that jungle do
Nigga, this is what that jungle do
You been plottin', nigga, wasn't you?
I shoulda never even fuck wit' you
[Verse 3]
I was walking in the rain with my Timbs on
Steppin' over puddles full of pain, it's a big storm
13 on my Balmains, it's a big storm
In the club love to make it rain
Like what nigga, we don't fuck witcha
Know I'm all about my bucks nigga, I don't trust niggas
Ever since I was a young nigga coming up nigga
Ain't nobody show me love nigga, so it's fuck niggas, it's just us, nigga
[Bridge 2]
Nigga this is what that jungle do
Nigga this is what that jungle do
That jungle turned me into a monster
That jungle made me go harder
That jungle turned me to a monster
That jungle made me go harder
That jungle turned me to a monster
That jungle made me go harder
That jungle turned me to a monster
That jungle made me go harder
[Chorus]
The jungle turned me to a monster
The jungle made me go harder
Jungle turned me to a monster
Nigga this is what that jungle do
Nigga this is what the jungle do
Been plottin' nigga, wasn't you?
Should have never even fucked with you

I came up with the nickname Jungle, which refers to Highbridge, my neighborhood in the Bronx. One day I was thinking like this is dead ass the j...
