Jungle Love

I keep my left foot in the war zone I keep my right foot in the jungle, While I scramble for my cheerios[ 0's } I do it bundle by bundle, It's the year of gettin' yo' money right and my pockets are hollow, I've seen street soldiers fall young so I dismiss tomorrow, I keep my head high as look to the sky, Everyday is like a rerun So am I chasing a lie?, I've been in & out of bad places some filled with villians & shanks, I put love inside my pistol But it clapped out blanks, Because we're roamin' on a cold planet So the block are gelid, I anylize my visions of where i'm headed, I regret my decision & I dred it, And I wonder will my family mourn, will I see the Pen again while i'm being baptized in the storm?, In the world it's like your days go by slow, I don't want to miss my loved ones so I choose to retrospect I listen to smooth music with my closed, I think back on my days as a youth, in the pits of the Game I'm wondering did they teach me the truth?
