The jungle's where it's at My natural habitat We eat bamboo all day And then we start to play. And if you have to wait For someone's five or eight Don't worry bout a thing Come on and join our song...and sing!

I’ve got the sun in my hand I’ve got the moon in my plans And in the meantime you’ll do fine  I’ve got my head in the sand I feel the beat of the land So if I find a way, the rest will fall in line.    The strictures, they come unwound From everything that we’ve bound The sticks and stones, they decay To sand and blow far away  I’ve got the diamond in view It’s got a hold on you And in the meantime adjust your sight  I am the one that you’d betray I synchronized night with day. I’ve got it all locked away. It’s hot, what I will convey  I took a mop to a mess And got some dirt off my chest I got a powerful hose And sprayed it right up your nose I saw the future so clear And it caused a tear I saw your smile was gone Saw my clothes on the lawn  In the meantime, adjust your sight I’ve got my foot in the door I’ve got a carpeted floor And if I find a way, I’ll work it just right If I find a way, I’ll work it all night  And your eyes will shine, all night all night long

Hey there Hiro so dark and worn Disguised as a lover, but so forlorn. You're cold as the ocean up to the north, Hiro what have you done. Fresher than a mountain lion lyin' at the summit Got her digits in my pocket rockin' on like Lyle Lovett. I'm never ever clever enough to sever squalor, but her number slumbers in my cell because I never called her. Well thinkin' this condition wishin' I could keep it hush. and its not valet service here we leave in a rush. We let the clientele propel the sell, I rock it well, until I'm gel Spend 'em, mend 'em, send 'em back cause Benzy never tells. Well someone has to be the one to drag you to the store and if its rainin' then we'll dodge the drops until it starts to pour. And then I'll save your life as I dual with the rain, as I try to attain a higher plane with my brain. And we'll see how many people admire the mantra of a couple of the illest of ill Cause you know you'll never find a better answer to your prayers Cause we're here in your ear to alleviate all of your fears.

Shoulda gone the other way One mistake But it happens everyday I can’t decide Whether I should go or stay Just outside The city walls of blue and gray I’ll say goodbye  Nice try Who’ll believe your alibi? I’m your samurai Always  I broke the common law Ran away In my rickshaw Find who to bribe With the silver panda paw Yushi guide Me to the one you saw From the roadside  Ahhhhh Yushi Through my arms again

Here I come fool, it’s about to get wild I’m fresh as the sun but with a nocturnal style Enough to go around for ladies smart enough to listen You’ll know what you’ve been missin once I get into your system The people cry out when I pass through the villa Chasin out Borilla cuz I’m still a rilla killa You know he knew about the dankest bamboo But I’ve been refining my technique, and now I’m bringin it to you In a little package labeled “handle with care” Inside you’ll find despair from a killer panda bear A human hunter, furious, chill, and all the while Still bustin out the beats of the elusive panda style I r-r-r-romp stomp and chomp with jaws as cold as ice Coolin down the spice before you burn your bowl of rice The Presidents of residence, I know Barack Obama He sipped on tea with me when we met the Dalai Lama  Above the golden canopy I called upon a star To come to me and cast me off to places where you are Bringin a new decree from the east sea The direction that you need is a possibility I’d come on land to save you but you can’t afford it And my sexual vessel says you couldn’t board it I ride waves with devil rays; they ain’t got nothin on me. If you say they rule the sea then I’m a Murder Tsunami This kind of liquid is a weapon that I savor No medication I’d prescribe to stop the effects of water vapor I get into your lungs like smoke; you start to choke You think I’m playin battleship but son this ain’t no joke I call out D-9 and fire a torpedo And don’t get mad at me for looking better in a Speedo  No matter where you go I’ll find out where you are No matter where you go I’ll find a shooting star  So many times I’d say, Wait for another day... Above the golden canopy I gaze upon the stars And wish aloud that you and I were closer than they are I saw above the trees, but only went so far And I could not believe that you had gone to join the stars

I can leave if you want to See the end of rant and rave And in the sea I would haunt you Til the waves evaporate And in the long run, I’d perform again To see the dawn break underneath the sand  Feel the undertoe  If it makes you happy, keeps you so low Feel the answers grow And maybe avoid the pain   I can’t see where you’ve gone to Seem available again And I can read into all you’ve Made a mess of in the end And in the long run I’d extend a hand To see the dawn break Out over the land  Don’t go to such trouble I’d go through anything  Can’t deny that I want you I resist but can’t contain All the moves that I go through Just to bring you back again And in the long run I’d extend a hand To see the dawn break underneath the sand

Welcome to the end, gotta view from the window sill The air is chill, perfect atmosphere to make my kill You laughin still? Nah, you’ve gone and went soft Leavin traces of your skill, I gotta hose to rinse it off Of my grill in Brazil, and my game is flaw-less Carr-dawg lost his mind 7 times when he saw this I’m lawless, you gotta know the cops’ll never get me My mind is like the Ledger and I’ll make this town a frenzy In my benzy, riding with my crew of high rollers Ya we laughin, double passin up your stroller Controller, power in my hands the size of Shaq’s Snatchin up your ladies when I’m layin down my mack On crack, these rocks are like the faces on Mount Rushmore I’ll break’m down but I feel the need to crush more I’m in the way, and always going down the drain I feel the same.... always going down the drain 
 I dig it.  Ya, I dig it Don’t you get it?  Tellin’  you I dig it Rollin’ when I kick it And then I feel it all unwind And I know you’re mine cuz it’ll never be the same...    So what would you desire, ‘fore I throw you in the fire? You know what I admire?  The finest weed in the shire Optimism feeds my delusions and deceit I’d been watching with my knife securely weighted in its sheath It’s a pressing situation knowing it won’t end in a win for you Full of frustration when the mind gives off a ripple to Some misconception spun like threads intertwined A redesign of your position that’s been disinclined But surely magnitude of my attitude controls the view So don’t be rude and brood about your feelings that are misconstrued It’s not the time, I really must insist Just feel the flow and know although you’re gone you won’t be missed I’ll re-adjust the way we think about the game I’ll put that mirror up so that I can show you who’s to blame It’s a haunting revelation putting uncertainty to shame But I guess I’d rather fuse the two and think it’s all the same It's comin down again, but I can't feel the rain 
and it makes me feel the same for you. 
Comin down again I know that I can't feel the rain 
and I think I’d go insane for you

Koala Tea 04:26
Don’t feel so troubled Get lost in the bubbles They float, light and free From my koala tea  I perk up all the more When I hear the sweet tender pour Of something just for me It’s called koala tea  Tea for me, tea for you Please enjoy the tea I brew  It softly simmers like a dream And goes very well with cream It’s quite plain to see I enjoy koala tea  Just as a lover you’ve kissed, There’s passion in the mist In time you’ll agree And drink koala tea  OOOoooo Shalala! OOOoooo Koala!
