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 hips they hustle and sling in trees
Elephants for security that move tons of leaves
The bluebirds arrest parrots that love to talk
or 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 and his 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 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 sucked your blood flow
And they laugh like hyenas when they out to catch dough
See a million mosquitos from the West now
Carrying the virus that made the boars less wild

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 prayers 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 assist
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 grasshoppers 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

Who is listening in 2019.. this in my books is by far the best metaphorical I ever heard.. no mumble rap can out do this!

This is a pure pure pure certified golden-age infused hip-hop track

Dopeness!!

Wu Tang is forever!

porcupine had a rep for sticking everything that moved—now this is classic Mcing!

2019 still #Bangin

A Lyrical Beast in the "Animal Planet" of Rap. All out verbal assault. This Shit waay ahead of time. And all should relate in some fashion.

MASTERPIECE THEATER

Wu Tang = Word

And to think, he was coming up with these types of raps BEFORE Papoose's "Alphabetical Slaughter" ! Check out the other similar joints that he did like this, such as "Labels" & "Publicity".

He used that Wong Fei Hong Beat from Jet Li movie"...he is truly a genius and creative

This song is so epic. GZA really earned the name the Genius.

Still banging this in 2019

Dope track and classic material

I'm gonna travel to his territory onlyy to say thanks and give him a huge hug for the solution to escape for this bullshit reality

GZA the Genius best ever

Sheeeeeeeeeessssssshhhhhhh🤯

Simply Brilliant

best on the album obviously
got this cd went it first dropped! classic

"Bluebirds arrest parrots who love to talk".

Intelligent M.C. this Titan here.

Got here by looking up stuff for Disney’s animal kingdom 😂

This would be a dope animation video

My all time GZA track.... and they all become instant meals the moment it dies...

its like a jungle somtimes... the weed smoke makes me wonder, how i keep from going under hahaha

Damn B!nk

"GZA's raps are too smart."

-- 50 dent

2018 STILL LOVE IT

incredible song, makes me want to go watch Nat Geo Wild

One of the best lyrics of all time. The allegory of human nature in 4 mins.

Did he just say" While the Black widow lay a web for the Bachelor"...This guy is a genius PERIOD!!!!

ANIMAL PLANET 🔥

This is pure rap😬💯whoever disliked this, is a pure suspect 🙅🏾‍♂️

Most unique vocabulary, only Doom beat him in this category

Lyrical masterpiece!
Storytelling prowess riddled with prose, eloquently presented. Completely undermining a superb beat. Sticks in your head for years after listening #Gzathegreat

Mad skills

Best song I've ever heard

Genius!

people used to tell me this album was wack and that liquid swords was his only good album. this is his best track imho. GZA the GOAT

@A B i feel this album and beneath the surface are just as good. all 3 i press play and let it go. OB4CL and the Ironman LP are the only other albums in hip hop i can do that with.

The man got the gift....but do I need to type this lol

Take notes on this cut.

Gza is one of the best of all time wu life

Animals we are in the struggle

PEACE GZA GENIUS

GZA is so creative and intelligent I don't think he even wrote this I feel like he just started freestyling this lyrically genius shit

J DILLA!!!!!!!!

Scratching scratching

Ladies and gentleman tha most creative rapper in tha world!!!!!!

Is Wu even more advanced than Wakanda?

They should use this in Black Panther Movie

Unparalleled.

He's the reason I write the way I do

Βροχερη κυριακη,καφεδακι,γαρακι και ηρεμια.

His imagination is crazy

so dope

This man is really a Genius smh, the metaphors he uses are truly unbelievable.

Gza is part ninja, samurai and viking in terms of his amazing and utter worldly skill set with a microphone.

Who else thinks Cam'ron and The Diplomats would sound dope on this Track? Sounds like a Beat they would use 🔥🔥🔥💯💯

THIS JOINT RIGHT HERE AND FAME ARE TWO OF THE ILLEST JOINTS EVER WRITTEN.. GZA IS THE TRUTH!!

0% Finance off the pro tools album is right there with these two. Story about a woman, told through car models and brands

They both prey on grasshoppers, beetles and flies
And they all become, instant meals the moment it dies
What cost little, is of little worth
So some lose their lives wandering on the wrong turf
From birth, they grew up walking the thin line
It's like a jungle sometimes

Those bars always sent chills down my spine

True but real life facts apparently

no polar bears in the jungle Gza but great song

There's no seals, trout or crabs in the jungle either. It's not meant to be only animals in the jungle just because it's like the jungle sometimes.

Gold Killah he had a stroke of genius here for sure though

Well thought out and written. Lyrics! #RGM

real hip hop ¿?

shouldn't gamble with a cheetah and not expect to get beat

😩😩

black panthers are the militants, who strike in the dark

yeah, for the wrong cause. they incite socialist revolution. The rich require socialist takeover to achieve their goal.

fuck the black panthers

metaphors are on point this is a classic jam.

Top 10 song of all time

11 gave this track a thumbs down WOW it's really like a jungle sometimes.

Great concept song, the flow is smooth and the lyrics are clever.

Gza's pen game a league of it's own.

Jacob Kinghorn : Word 🔥🔥

That bass line, damn. love this jam

Greg Serrato me too, Thank Issac Hayes for the music

One theMost creative tracks ever put on wax!

Noface King You can't say it no better.

Facts mine to

I love Rap music mixed with Soul and originality.

Slept on album, only GZA could drop metaphorical jewels like this. This album has one of the best mix downs ever. Whoever engineered this, did an awesome job. Drums are nice and crispy.

Sparkz Mentalz J Dilla

Ralph H R.I.P. to J Dilla

@Ralph H You sure? Pretty sure Dilla had nothing to do with this album. Don't own a copy though so I can only go off this: https://www.discogs.com/GZA-Legend-Of-The-Liquid-Sword/release/158802
