Lost in the Jungle

Those with connections, their AMAYATAS (spiritual guides) won't let them suffer (8 times)
The jungle is harsh, the hyenas are always ready to attack the weak
The youth have nothing, no inheritance to call their own
The world is full of injustice, where merit goes unrewarded
The religious leader with a full belly lets out a disdainful laugh
The poor wretch, his begging bowl gets kicked around
We're tired of struggling, but our determination is unwavering (100 times)
A child goes to the Quranic school with only a meager 500 Francs
Hey! But you're judging me, looking down on me.
You think my handicap is a weakness?
The rich kids, they treat us like animals
They exploit us just so
they can stay rich
But their wealth is tainted.
The one who denies his origins will regret it
We may be poor, but we are kings in our hearts
Those radicals, they don't scare us
We'll face any challenge, head-on
{Pre-Chorus}
I'm responsible for myself
I only look out for myself
I only look out for myself
You know I'm responsible for myself
I'm responsible for myself
This tough life is trying to push me to the edge
I'm constantly hustling, day and night, never giving up
The young ones who dropped out of school are just wandering around aimlessly
Yeah yeah
My father's name is Baay Guisseu, my mother's name is Yaay Booy
Guisseu's son, Yaay Booy's child
I'm the young man they call "Lost in the Jungle"
Lost in the Jungle
Lost in the Jungle
I'm Lost in the Jungle (Just let loose and go wild)
The young men and women are dancing, Lost in the Jungle
Oooh! The men are Lost in the Jungle
Yeah! The women are Lost in the Jungle (Just let loose and go wild)
The young girls are showing off their moves, Lost in the Jungle
From Fouki (8) to Diouram Bèn (16), everyone knows who I am
Because I'm not like the others
You know I hustle hard, I'm not lazy
The car owner gives me the keys, I drive like a pro
Supplies, bags,
School uniforms and notebooks, the kids have nothing
We can read but we have no jobs in the jungle
Those who wear fancy clothes, they're just putting on a show
We want a JOB, but all we have is PROBLEMS
The world is tough, you have to fight for yourself
Whether you're from Gueedju Koussoum or Pont Colobane
Wherever you are, you have to hustle, even if it means selling peanuts on the street
Some go to university, others travel by plane
We only know the struggle, all we see is jail
We're tired, we're all suffering in our own country
We're asking for help, but our leaders abandon us
{Pre-Chorus}
I'm responsible for myself
I only look out for myself
I only look out for myself
You know I'm responsible for myself
I'm responsible for myself
This tough life is trying to push me to the edge
I'm constantly hustling, day and night, never giving up
The young ones who dropped out of school are just wandering around aimlessly
Yeah yeah
My father's name is Baay Guisseu, my mother's name is Yaay Booy
Guisseu's son, Yaay Booy's child
I'm the young man they call "Lost in the Jungle"
Lost in the Jungle
Lost in the Jungle
I'm Lost in the Jungle (Just let loose and go wild)
The young men and women are dancing, Lost in the Jungle
Oooh! The men are Lost in the Jungle
Yeah! The women are Lost in the Jungle (Just let loose and go wild)
The young girls are showing off their moves, Lost in the Jungle
