Song of the Day #162

Jay-Z and Kanye West- "Welcome to the Jungle" from Watch The Throne

"[Swizz:]

Welcome to the jungle

Welcome to the jungle well

[x2]

[Kanye West:]

I asked her where she wanna be when she 25.

She turned around and looked at me and she said "alive"

[Swizz:]

Welcome to the jungle, welcome to the jungle well

[Jay-Z:]

Black Axl Rose, move halfs and wholes

Come down to the jungle, just ask for Hov

Move blocks and squares, move apples and pears

Work pots and pans, just to cop me some Airs

My uncle died, my daddy did too

Paralyzed by the pain, I can barely move

My nephew gone, my heart is torn

Sometimes I look to the sky, ask why I was born

My faith in God, every day is hard

Every night is worse, that's why I pray so hard

[Kanye West:]

Why I pray so hard, this is crazy God

Just when I thought I had everything, I lost it all

So que sera, get a case of Ciroc

Let it chase the pain, before it goes too far

[Jay-Z:]

My dreams is big, reality set in

Let off a clip from a automatic weapon,

Through shots in the door, it died in Vegas

Though it fought so hard, I knew it wouldn't make it

I'm a tortured soul, I live in disguise

Rest in peace to the leader of the Jackson 5

I died in my sleep, I'm still Big Pimpin

I ball at the mall, beginning of the ending

Where the fuck is the sun?

It's been a while, momma, look at ya son

What happened to my smile?

My tears is tatted, my rag in my pocket

I'm just looking for love, I know somebody got it

Champagne for the pain, weed for the low

God damn I'm so high, where the fuck did I go?

I'm losing myself, I'm stuck in the moment

I look in the mirror, my only opponent

Where the fuck is the press? Where the fuck is the Press?

Either they know or don't care I'm fucking depressed

No crying in public, just lying to judges

Risking my life, I'm already dying, so fuck it well

[Swizz:]

Welcome to the jungle, welcome to the jungle well

Goddammit!"
