Why, oh why, oh why?
Why, oh why, oh why?
Why, oh why, oh why?

Born and raised in the jungle,
I'll never forget where I'm coming from.
Born and raised in the jungle,
I'll never regret where I'm coming from.
Born and raised in the jungle,
The encounter was so rough.
Just couldn't help but to be humble,
Although it's kinda tough, I say.

Mommy and Daddy have done their best,
And I've got to do the rest.
Fighting for survival is like playing chess,
But I am the winner, 'cause:
Mi nah give up nah give up,
Won't give up won't give up.
Say mi nah give up nah give up,
I won't give up at all.

Over hills and valleys I've trod,
But I didn't mind.
Sometimes coffee sometimes tea,
Sweat and tears for wine.
The blues popped in my head,
Sometimes my eyes got red.
I won't forget to remember,
Who were there for me.

Mommy and Daddy have done their best,
But I've got to do the rest.
Fighting for survival is like playing chess,
And I am a winner.

Still couldn't help but to be humble,
Although it's kinda tough, I say.

Mek we mash down the system,
With a little bit of reggae.
Mek we tear up the system,
With a little bit of reggae, yah.

Born and raised in the jungle,
I won't forget I tell you.
Oh, now, now, now..
