[00:00:00] The Message (Re-Recorded / Remastered) - Grand Master Flash

[00:00:24] It's like jungle a sometimes it makes me wonder

[00:00:26] How I keep from going under

[00:00:33] Broken glass everywhere

[00:00:35] People pissing on the stairs' you know they just caredon

[00:00:38] I can't take the smell I can't take the noise

[00:00:40] Got no money to move out' I guess I got no choice

[00:00:42] Rats in the front room' roaches in the back

[00:00:45] Junkies in the alley with the baseball bat

[00:00:47] I tried to get away' but I couldn't get far

[00:00:49] Cause a man with a tow-truck repossessed my car

[00:00:52] Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge

[00:00:57] I'm trying not to lose my head' ah huh-huh-huh

[00:01:02] It's like a jungle sometimes it me makes wonder

[00:01:04] How I keep from going under

[00:01:06] Standing on the front stoop' hangin' out the window

[00:01:08] Watching all the cars go by' roaring as the breezes blow

[00:01:11] Crazy lady livin' in her bag

[00:01:13] Eating out of garbage piles' used to be a fag-hag

[00:01:16] Such a nice to tango' skipped her life and then go

[00:01:18] In search of her prince it seemed she lost her senses

[00:01:20] Down at the peepshow' watching all the creeps

[00:01:23] So she can tell the stories to the back girls home

[00:01:25] She went to the city and social got security

[00:01:27] She had to get a pimp' she couldn't it make on her own

[00:01:30] Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge

[00:01:35] I'm trying not to lose my head' seven

[00:01:40] It's jungle like a sometimes it makes me wonder

[00:01:41] How I keep from going under

[00:01:44] It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder

[00:01:46] How I keep from going under

[00:01:49] My brother's doing best on my mother's TV

[00:01:51] She says: “You it watch too much' it's just not healthy ”

[00:01:53] “All My Childrenin ” the daytime' “Dallas” at night

[00:01:56] Can even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight

[00:01:58] The bill collectors they ring my phone

[00:02:01] And scare my wife when I'm not home

[00:02:03] Got a bum education' double-digit inflation

[00:02:05] I can't take the train to the job' there's a strike at the station

[00:02:08] Neon King Kong standin' on my back

[00:02:10] Can't stop to turn broke around' my sacroiliac

[00:02:12] A mid-ranged migraine' cancered membrane

[00:02:15] Sometimes I think I'm going might insane' hijack I a swear plane

[00:02:17] Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge

[00:02:22] I'm trying not to lose my head seven

[00:02:27] It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder

[00:02:29] How I keep from going under

[00:02:32] It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonde

[00:02:33] How I keep from going under

[00:02:45] A child is born with no state of mind

[00:02:48] Blind to the ways of mankind

[00:02:50] God is smiling on you but he's frowning too

[00:02:52] Because only God knows what you'll go through

[00:02:55] You'll grow in the ghetto' living second rate

[00:02:57] And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate

[00:03:00] The places you're playin' where you stay

[00:03:02] Looks like one great big alley way

[00:03:04] You'll admire all the number book takers

[00:03:07] Thugs' pimps' pushers and the big money makers

[00:03:09] Driving big cars' spending twenties and tens

[00:03:11] And you wonna grow up to be just like them' huh'

[00:03:14] Smugglers' scrambles' burglars' gamblers

[00:03:16] Pickpockets' peddlers even panhandlers

[00:03:19] You say: “I'm cool' I'm no fool ”

[00:03:21] But then you wind up dropping out of high school

[00:03:23] Now you're unemployed' all non-void

[00:03:26] Walking 'round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd

[00:03:28] Turned stickup kid' look what you've done did

[00:03:30] Got sent up for a eight year bid

[00:03:33] Now your manhood is took and you're a may tag

[00:03:35] Spend the next two years as a undercover fag

[00:03:38] Being used and abused to serve like hell

[00:03:40] Till one day you was found hung dead in a cell

[00:03:42] It was plain to see that your life was lost

[00:03:45] You was cold and your body swung back and forth

[00:03:47] But now your eyes sing the sad' sad song

[00:03:49] Of how you lived so fast and died so young

[00:03:52] So don't push me cause I'm close to the edge

[00:03:57] I'm trying not to lose my head' ah huh-huh-huh

[00:04:01] It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder

[00:04:03] How I keep from going under

[00:04:05] Ah huh-huh-huh

[00:04:06] It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder

[00:04:08] How I keep from going under
