Tekster: Wyclef Jean. Mentality Of A Lion.

chorus:
i was born in the concrete jungle
and i know how we feel about the heat in the jungle,
so the lion go for the pray in the concrete jungle,
ducks and goose turn into gazelles, running in the jungle.

..in history, tell me what really happened,
like the declaration of independence was signed by free masons.
so who do you think funded the american revolution?
we pay the irs, the irs pays great britain.
and .. bank, cause boy they love when we go to war,
charges happen?
for example the us?
when in germany ? got bombed up and sank under,
323000 americans died, j. d rockefeller made 300 million on their lives.
and fbi was given intelligence by his spies,
so the pearl harbor bombing wasn't a surprise.
see the war is designed to keep us in debt,
so to keep us happy they make a holiday for the vets.
and they bring their drugs, testing 'em out on our communities,
cause in their mind we're just scientific monkeys.
why you think we can get any gun you want, with no questions?
because the more you kill, the more money they're making!
you're making money on the block, see the sacks with the big knot
rocks in the ? next to the big ?

chorus:
