Jungle Rules

Built around The unwritten rules of the urban jungle - code of the streets, loyalty, survival instincts. Street Wire's raw, unfiltered production carries the concept through trap that rewards repeat listens. "Rule three, never show them everything you got" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs intense, street-wise. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.

[verse 1] Rule one, keep your mouth shut and your eyes open Rule two, trust is earned, not given as a token Rule three, never show them everything you got Keep an ace inside your sleeve, play the lot These are jungle rules, they don't write them down You learn them from the pavement of your town The concrete teaches lessons books won't dare Survival of the smartest, be aware I learned these rules before I learned to read The street curriculum was all I'd need To navigate the alleys and the avenues Jungle rules, pick and choose your crews [chorus] Jungle rules, play it smart or pay the price Jungle rules, think before you roll the dice The city's got its code, unspoken law Jungle rules, every predator and prey withdraws When you know the rules, you run the game When you don't, the jungle swallows your name Jungle rules, survival of the wise Adapt or don't, the concrete never lies [verse 2] Rule four, never let them see you bleed Rule five, always separate the want from need Rule six, your word is your only currency Break it once and you lose your urgency In everyone's eyes, you're as good as gone Trust is fragile, once it's cracked, move on Rule seven, keep your enemies closer still Study their patterns, their moves, their will Not for revenge but for protection's sake Know which snakes are real and which are fake The jungle's full of camouflage and traps Jungle rules keep you pointed on the map [chorus] Jungle rules, play it smart or pay the price Jungle rules, think before you roll the dice The city's got its code, unspoken law Jungle rules, every predator and prey withdraws When you know the rules, you run the game When you don't, the jungle swallows your name Jungle rules, survival of the wise Adapt or don't, the concrete never lies [bridge] Some folks never learn the rules in time Walk into the jungle deaf and blind The concrete doesn't care about your feelings Jungle rules are the only healing [verse 3] Final rule, and this one's the most important The jungle doesn't owe you any fortune You take what you can build with your own hands No handouts in the jungle, understand So sharpen your instincts, trust your gut Keep climbing when they tell you to stay put The concrete jungle's harsh but it's my home Jungle rules turned this boy into a grown Man who stands his ground and knows his worth Been playing by these rules since birth [chorus] Jungle rules, play it smart or pay the price Jungle rules, think before you roll the dice The city's got its code, unspoken law Jungle rules, every predator and prey withdraws When you know the rules, you run the game When you don't, the jungle swallows your name Jungle rules, survival of the wise Adapt or don't, the concrete never lies
