Stepping off the track, Amtrak, ya feel
The backpack's on, lookin for my first big city meal
Never was the plan A to Be in NYC
But now I'm here tho, so how bout a gyro?
Look at all the weirdos, they now my peers
Cuz I'm pretty weird too, and bringing up the rear
A bowl o' ramen noodles with my crew
In East Village woo!
Like Annie said, I think I'm gonna like it here
Here in the jungle
You be whoever you want to
It's like your choosing your fighter from the select screen
So come through
Join the fray, it's a melee
Whether you sock hop or you nae nae
This zoo got room for new challengers
Challenge your self to choose
Imma be a tech geek
Buildin apps for that down Little Twelfth Street
Ridin razors and writing on dry erasers
Making points
Choosin Stock over Time in the options
And gettin coin, coin
Goin' gone
Goin' long hours, ya burn out
If you don't get an outlet to let out
If you don't get your headset you will drown
If you don't sweat you won't get your true powers
So I'd sneak out
Started house dancing after dark
Sang at church choirs every Sunday
Found cyphers in park
And whoa, be still my artist heart
Stay chill and play your little part
And what happens when it's not enough?
Switch it up
Here in the jungle
You be whoever you want to
It's like your choosing your fighter from the select screen
So come through
Join the fray, it's a melee
Whether you sock hop or you nae nae
This zoo got room for new challengers
Challenge your self to choose
Fresh slate
Press play
I see my sister she's killing it on the Broadway
A light goes on in my head
"Yo, I can sing too
I can dance too
I can act too
That's a fact dude"
Doing musical theatre... that'd be taboo
But if I don't try, it'd be a snafu
Made up my mind, told my boss I resign
I'm tryna to make the Chorus Line
"Yo, Sis, I can do that too!"
All day with the jazz, tap, and the ballet
Belting 8-bar cuts, stapling headshots to resumes
Crashin ECCs and EPAs like they the buffet
From setbacks to callbacks to contracts to Equitay
Little success went a long way
Takin that test satisfied me
I was halfway up the ladder when I had a patented
Big Apple Pie, fresh baked
Epipha-nay
In this neighborhood they need a Spider-Man
Someone to steal back the shield from El Capitan
Someone to stand for the Nerds and the Fusions and Mutants—a hero
Yo, I think I know who can
Roll it in, last stage of the game
'Bout time the real players bust out their mains
I am the super secret weapon hittin' light of the day
My name S- to the M- to the A-C-K
I rock HP, MP, charisma, dexterity
Enough integrity to outlast your celebrity
And my chi powered by the belief
I'm the chief with the voice, it's my choice, who I'm gonna be
Here in the jungle
I be whoever I want to
Like I'm choosing my fighter from the select
Come through
Join the fray, let's melee
Sock hop or nae nae
I got room for new challengers
Challenge your self to choose (Show me your moves!)
Here in the jungle
I be whoever I want to
Like I'm choosing my fighter from the select
Come through
Join the fray, let's melee
Sock hop or nae nae
I got room for new challengers
