没别的说的，绝对是说唱歌曲中影响力最为深远的一首，说唱乐迷的必备

[00:43.98]It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
[00:46.22]How I keep from going under
[00:48.95]It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
[00:51.64]How I keep from going under
[00:52.99]
[01:02.87]Broken glass everywhere
[01:04.52]People pissing on the stairs, you know they just don’t care
[01:06.92]I can't take the smell, I can't take the noise
[01:09.29]Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
[01:11.76]Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
[01:14.10]Junkies in the alley with the baseball bat
[01:16.52]I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far
[01:18.91]Cause a man with a tow-truck repossessed my car
[01:20.95]
[01:22.07]Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
[01:27.60]I'm trying not to lose my head, ah huh-huh-huh
[01:32.66]It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
[01:34.63]How I keep from going under
[01:35.55]
[01:37.33]Standing on the front stoop, hangin' out the window
[01:39.71]Watching all the cars go by, roaring as the breezes blow
[01:42.33]Crazy lady livin' in her bag
[01:42.61]Eating out of garbage piles, used to be a fag-hag
[01:44.97]Such a nice to tango, skipped her life and then go
[01:49.08]In search of her prince it seemed she lost her senses
[01:50.64]Down at the peepshow, watching all the creeps
[01:51.91]So she can tell the stories to the girls back home
[01:54.78]She went to the city and got social security
[01:56.71]She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own
[01:58.00]
[02:00.00]Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
[02:03.93]I'm trying not to lose my head, ah huh-huh-huh
[02:10.72]It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
[02:11.21]How I keep from going under
[02:13.75]
[02:18.79]My brother's doing best on my mother's TV
[02:19.47]She says: “You watch it too much, it’s just not healthy!”
[02:22.74]“All My Children” in the daytime, “Dallas” at night
[02:25.31]Can even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
[02:27.72]The bill collectors they ring my phone
[02:30.15]And scare my wife when I'm not home
[02:32.10]Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
[02:34.68]I can’t take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
[02:37.30]Neon King Kong standin' on my back
[02:39.48]Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
[02:41.83]A mid-ranged migraine, cancered membrane
[02:44.33]Sometimes I think I'm going insane, I swear I might hijack a plane
[02:46.63]Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
[02:51.37]I'm trying not to lose my head, ah huh-huh-huh
[02:56.49]It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
[02:58.27]How I keep from going under
[03:01.35]It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
[03:03.12]How I keep from going under
[03:06.74]
[03:44.94]My son said: ”Daddy I don't wonna go to school
[03:47.12]Cause the teacher's a jerk!”, he must think I'm a fool
[03:49.37]And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper
[03:51.88]If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper
[03:54.60]I’ll dance to the beat, shuffle my feet
[03:56.85]Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
[03:59.29]Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
[04:01.59]You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
[04:04.11]They pushed that girl in front of the train
[04:06.50]Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again
[04:08.95]Stabbed that man right in his heart
[04:11.34]Gave him a transplant for a brand new start
[04:13.64]I can't walk through the park, cause it's crazy after dark
[04:15.91]Keep my hand on my gun, cause they got me on the run
[04:18.37]I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jar
[04:20.92]Hear them say: “You want some more livin' on a seesaw?”
[04:22.63]Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
[04:27.37]I'm trying not to lose my head, ah huh-huh-huh
[04:32.32]It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
[04:35.46]How I keep from going under
[04:38.44]It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
[04:40.29]How I keep from going under
[04:42.06]It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
[04:43.99]How I keep from going under
[04:47.80]It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
[04:48.95]How I keep from going under
[04:50.49]
[04:51.69]A child is born with no state of mind
[04:54.35]Blind to the ways of mankind
[04:56.61]God is smiling on you but he's frowning too
[04:58.99]Because only God knows what you’ll go through
[05:01.45]You’ll grow in the ghetto, living second rate
[05:03.98]And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate
[05:06.30]The places you’re playin’, where you stay
[05:08.71]Looks like one great big alley way
[05:10.51]You'll admire all the number book takers
[05:12.96]Thugs, pimps, pushers and the big money makers
[05:15.49]Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens
[05:17.80]And you wonna grow up to be just like them, huh,
[05:20.30]Smugglers, scrambles, burglars, gamblers
[05:22.59]Pickpockets, peddlers even panhandlers
[05:25.02]You say: “I'm cool, I'm no fool!”
[05:27.06]But then you wind up dropping out of high school
[05:28.88]Now you're unemployed, all non-void
[05:31.98]Walking ‘round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
[05:34.21]Turned stickup kid, look what you’ve done did
[05:36.72]Got sent up for a eight year bid
[05:39.05]Now your manhood is took and you're a may tag
[05:41.50]Spend the next two years as a undercover fag
[05:43.83]Being used and abused to serve like hell
[05:46.06]Till one day you was found hung dead in a cell
[05:49.87]It was plain to see that your life was lost
[05:52.52]You was cold and your body swung back and forth
[05:54.89]But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song
[05:57.38]Of how you lived so fast and died so young
[05:59.04]Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge
[06:04.96]I'm trying not to lose my head, ah huh-huh-huh
[06:09.83]It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
[06:10.47]How I keep from going under
[06:13.27]It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
[06:15.20]How I keep from going under
