"Breakdown..."
|
Round and round, upside down
|
Living my live underneath the ground
|
Never heard of and hardly seen
|
A whole lot of talk about the Red, Black and Green
|
So dirty you didn't wanna deal with it
|
So funky you didn't wanna got with it
|
But that's alright, no problem, cool
|
Sent to the Earth to educate the fool
|
Waiting around for my shell to crack
|
After that you can't hold me back
|
Looking out for the danger signs
|
Jungle Bros bringing forth a change in times
|
Left, right, some ask from which angle
|
Straight up the middle, reality's the riddle
|
Sending a message to the old and young
|
Confused about where I come from
|
What planet? What channel? What station?
|
AfriKa from the Zulu Nation...
|
|
Confused, no landing, no understanding
|
But I knew not to give what life was demanding
|
Found a new tab, thought I'd take a grab
|
Tired of brothers who feign to backstab
|
Beating a bigger drum, better days will come
|
And if they don't come, I'll get up and make some
|
First you crawl before you walk
|
First you think before you talk
|
I found in life that you wear a hard hat
|
Protect your mind and bad things will stay back
|
Vultures flocking around on corners
|
Snakes slide through our law and order
|
Years slip away and I get older
|
Leaves hit the ground and it gets colder
|
My heart pumps faster so I get bolder
|
That's when I ask my brother to...take over!
|
My mellow, Uncle Sam!
|
|
(Ladies and gentlemen, live from the Planet Rock we have the
|
J.Beeeeees...)
|
|
You see some listen but still don't hear
|
Some seem far but are real near
|
I climb a mountain to reach a kingdom
|
And if they're willing, sure I'll bring them
|
Think to the needy and then to the greedy
|
Rely on the heaven and earth to feed me
|
Move to the motions of the moon
|
(Take out your shades!) Cause the sun comes soon
|
To plan my day I look at the sky
|
I see rain and I still ask why...
|
Broke the airwaves, trying to make waves
|
Finally came through but came in mono
|
Frequencies I kept on fighting
|
Satelliting what I was writing
|
Three years, finally got through
|
Came through in stereo...
|
So hello everybody and how ya'll doing?
|
We gonna say a few words and keep on stepping
|
People watching to see what we would do
|
Live on air you heard us say to you:
|
|
The city's a jungle and we are the brothers
|
This so-called King Of The Jungle will run for cover
|
All of your minds have been set into a trance
|
So instead of fighting out our problems...
|
We order ya'll to dance!
