Yo mi heart cooler than Eskimo
Dem fi know

No going back to my former life
I told my mama I must get it right
She say my son don't give up the fight
From the ghetto to ah paradise
No going back to my former life
I told my mama I must get it right
She say my son don't give up the fight
From the ghetto to ah paradise

I'm a lion in the jungle
Lion in the jungle
I'm a lion in the jungle
Lion in the jungle

Where I come from there is no food and no water
No toilet and no gutter
Things are getting hotter
Mama pour me holy water
Papa too ah suffer
Confuse we sons and daughter
I don't wanna go back to that place no more

Fire burn the people weh try fi stop we nuh
See the fire coming yo dem can stop we nuh
No matter what dem do they can bring me down
Can bring me down ooo

No going back to my former life no no no
I told my mama I must get it right
She say my son don't give up the fight no no no
From the ghetto to ah paradise
No going back to my former life
I told my mama I must get it right
She say my son don't give up the fight
From the ghetto to ah paradise

I'm a lion in the jungle
Lion in the jungle
I'm a lion in the jungle
Lion in the jungle

I'm a lion in the jungle
Lion in the jungle
I'm a lion in the jungle
Lion in the jungle

Inna my world failure is not an option
Born as a king so it's ah must I function
My former life is my motivation
And I want success to be my caption

You know what I mean
Make mi mama clean
Give her everything
House and Limousine
Big chune pon the scene
Face pon magazine
Living everything weh I see inna mi dream

No going back to my former life no no no
I told my mama I must get it right
She say my son don't give up the fight no no no
From the ghetto to ah paradise
No going back to my former life
I told my mama I must get it right
She say my son don't give up the fight
From the ghetto to ah paradise

I'm a lion in the jungle
Lion in the jungle
I'm a lion in the jungle
Lion in the jungle
