Welcome to the Jungle

[Produced by Swizz Beatz]

[Intro: Swizz Beatz, Kanye West & Jay-Z]

Uh

Right

Oh, oh

Right

One-two, one-two (Yeah)

Ayy

Welcome to the jungle, welcome to the jungle, well

(Yeah, yeah)

Welcome to the jungle, welcome to the jungle, well

(Yeah, uh, yeah)

I asked her where she wanna be when she twenty-five (Five)

She turned around and looked at me and she said, "Alive"

Welcome to the jungle, welcome to the jungle, well

(Uh, oh)

[Verse 1: Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz]

Black Axl Rose, move halves and wholes (Right)

Come down to the jungle, just ask for Hov (Right)

Move blocks and squares, move apples and pears (Oh)

Work pots and pans just to cop me some Airs (Goddammit)

My uncle died, my daddy did too (Ayy)

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

[Verse 2: Kanye West & Jay-Z]

Why I pray so hard, this is crazy, God

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

So que será (Welcome to the jungle), get a case of Syrah

Let it chase the pain 'fore it goes too far (Yeah)

[Verse 3: Jay-Z & Kanye West]

My dreams is big, reality set in (Huh)

Let off a clip from a automatic weapon (Yeah)

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 (Ooh, woo)

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

I ball at the mall, beginning of the ending (Yeah)

Where the fuck is the sun? It's been a while

Mama, look at your 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

Goddamn, 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 pres'?

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

No crying in public, just lying to judges

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

[Outro: Swizz Beatz]

Welcome to the jungle, welcome to the jungle, well

Goddammit
