It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under
I can't help it sometimes, I absorb the way people treat each other
I feel the beat of the rain and the hail and the rumble of the thunder
I'm very sorry the weight of the world makes it hard to be my lover
La da da da
I'm a strange jigsaw case
Baby, I don't fit no place
but I'm gonna fall together soon
It's like a jungle sometimes, it's got me wishin' I was built for competition
They say you must sell yourself. If you do, you get ten-percent commission
I'm gonna remake myself. Get ready for a brand new edition
Wait, no. I can't do it. Branding happens under slavery conditions
La da da da
I'm a strange jigsaw case
Baby, I don't fit no place
but I'm gonna fall together soon
It's not easy being free
It's not easy being me
Yes I know that I'm too soft
I watch them brush it all off
like nothing at all
La da da da
I'm a strange jigsaw case
Baby, I don't fit no place
but I'm gonna fall together soon
Everything this brother puts out is classic. Check out the label stuff, check out the independent. Check it all out. A giant you shouldn't sleep on. Brooks Long
Freewheeling songs that draw clear inspiration from Afrobeat, blending darting horn charts with warm vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 21, 2017
