GZA/Genius - Animal Planet lyrics

Welcome to the Jungle where the cat loves to scratch The rat squeals and the polar bear feasts on the blubber of seals The pack of wolves be scheming on a bunch of gazelles Where the leopards grab the wilderbeast down by it's tail You see the chimps they grow *hemps* they hustle and sling in trees Elephants for security that move tons of leaves The bluebirds arrest parrots that love to talk Of eagles that stalk fresh-water trout under the wing of the hawk You see the vultures pick the pocket of whatever remain In the brain we watch but a shadow of the lion's mane Whose roar is loud enough to take the stripes from a zebra He camouflage his bets in the spots of a cheetah Shouldn't gamble with a cheetah and not expect to get beat You silly goose you know he move fast on his feet Now you're neck deep in depth with a bunch of lone sharks So you move on a colony of ants with aardvarks, you see Most of the everglades was controlled by the gators It was crashed by the crocs who came years later See the locusts had swarmed with the bees, the tick moved with the fleas The dragonflies and the wasps shared with the seas The crab and the leeches s**ed your blood flow And they laugh like hyenas when they out to catch dough See a million mosquitos from the West Nile Carrying the virus that made the boars less wild It's like the jungle sometimes It's like the jungle sometimes It's like the jungle sometimes It's like the jungle sometimes Out of fear of the deer watch for the eye of the tiger The Clutch from the Cobra and the venomous viper Boa-constrictors that cut your circulation Mosts of their prey and die from broke bones and suffocation The owls are private eyes that watch from the bark Black panthers are the militant who strike in the dark Porcupines had a rep' for sticking everything that moved In areas that the rhinos and hippos approved And the giraffe was a look-out for gorillas in the mist And the bats use their sonar to guide and a**ist Those pelicans who smuggle contraband for the whale While the skunks spray the scent to keep the dogs off the trail The scorpion set up a sting for sly foxes That use stool pigeons just to keep them in the boxes While the black widow laid a web for the bachelor Like daddy-long-leg and his hype man, tarantula They both prey on gra**hoppers beetles and flies And they all become instant meals the moment it dies What costs little, is a little worth So some lose they lives wandering on the wrong turf From birth they grow up walking the thin line It's like the jungle sometimes It's like the jungle sometimes It's like the jungle sometimes It's like the jungle sometimes It's like the jungle sometimes
