Lyrics:
the day I was born
Got a flow so cold, I make the Arctic look warm
So watch me how I drip, so much ice you could slip
Man, I'm so fuckin' fresh, I got your
on to them
Or you'll find you might get caught
Caught up in the
Hey Monkey See and Monkey Do
Must I get brainwashed
By what's surrounding you
Didn't
business
Too much monkey business
For me to be in by ten
Someone talkin' to me
Tryin' to run me up a creek
Says you can buy it
C'mon try it
You can
Come and listen to the story of the monkey and the fish
It ain't very long and it goes like this
See, the monkey's walking down by the riverside
Sees
mumbling words like
Monkey work baboon chop
Fire in the jungle
Wata bang bang wata wata bang bang
Monkey work baboon chop
Fire in the jungle
Wata bang bang
This song is not racist, by the way
Just wait and see
J.P
Lately they been wildin'
I been on a island
Ask me why I'm smilin'
Cause this money pilin'
We took it on the chin
The numbers were so grim
Bossed around by pricks
Stiffen upper lips
Yeah
Pacing in the yard
You're trying to take
Never make my enemy public
I'm a private dancer
Dancing for money
(Let's get together, let's rock!)
D-d-d-d-dance Monkey
Dance you god damn Monkey
Do
on the river bridge using Tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the Monkey Man "I'm not fooled by Tweeter's curl
I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl"
I have been labeled by the people around me
For not acting like the person I claim to be
Cuz there's a monkey in my mind that is set free
And I
A long time ago, our point of view
Was broadcast by Mr. Bartholomew
And now the world is full of sorrow and pain
And it's time for us to speak up
A long time ago, our point of view
Was broadcast by Mr. Bartholomew
And now the world is full of sorrow and pain
And it's time for us to speak up
Taupe mouse, top hat on his head
Thinks he looks so good
Puce cat won't get off the bed
Even though she should
Indigo monkey's hiding underneath some
Arctic wintery worlds in mind
Possessed forever
By the chains of time
Beastly crafts comes with the snow
We bring the coming
Of our demonstorm
I got this monkey on my back
Dream of money when I nap
Can’t sleep comfy with no racks
The road get bumpy when u slack
Got this monkey on my back
yeah, just because
I'm afflicted by the wicked world
But my chair is just so comfortable
The monkey on my back
Has got me by the throat
(The monkey is
Take a minute
I know you need it
Breath in deep
Can you believe it?
By the time
You get this message
You'll be on the other side of all this pressure
thing all of you na jara
Step into your hood everybody halla
I'm so good na me dey even dash monkey banana
There's no need to vex there's no need to para
I went to the animal fair
The birds and the beasts were there
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair
The monkey fell out
In the jungle by the sea in
South America
There's a monkey on the beach
with the setting sun
Sometimes with his monkey friends,
often he's alone
In
But where is the trust...
Kole work ohh oh oh ohhh
If the energy dey drop
Kolework
If e don turn by force
How e go work
How e go work
The body go tire
the light o' day or under the peak-faced moon;
In cabin or dance-hall, camp or dive, mucklucks or patent shoon;
On velvet tundra or virgin peak, by glacier,
me, gonna tell it to you slow
Well pick up on what I'm sayin', "One monkey won't stop no show".
You can travel by bus
You can come by train
Travel
do the dishes
City on my back, Lithuanian weightlifters
Wolf in sheep cloth, chameleon, shape-shifter
Arctic monkey's and apes, nigga
Gorillas in
