Life is like Tarzan, swinging from a thin vine

from GZA (Ft. Ghostface Killah, Raekwon & U-God) – Investigative Reports Lyrics on Rap Genius

Tarzan was a wild child that lived in the African jungles by the Mangani “great apes”; he later came across civilization only to push it away and return to the wild as a adventurer.

He is basically saying that life is like swinging on a vine; sometimes you keep swinging and sometimes you break the vine and fail.
