Lyrics

0:04(Oh it's me and i've been down yeah
0:14Got to get that monkey off my back)
0:58The fortune teller looked into my eyballs
1:06The wrinkles on her face about to crack
1:12She said ' You best believe it
1:14You ain't goin' nowhere unless you get that
1:22Monkey Off your back'
1:32I made believe the devil made me do it
1:41I was the evil leader of the pack
1:48You best believe I had it all and then I blew it
1:56Feelin' that f**kin' Monkey On My Back
2:15If you put it a spoon man I would boot it
2:18Some king whose mental house was just a shack
2:23Where do you draw the line when all your friends are dyin'
2:26You got to get that monkey off your back
2:29Uh uh uh
2:48Your crystal ball is where you chase the dragon
2:55She said 'now' I bring me home his head inside a sack
3:04But now you find your crystal balls are dragin'
3:11Got to get that monkey off your back
(Oh it's me and i've been down yeah
Got to get that monkey off my back)
The fortune teller looked into my eyballs
The wrinkles on her face about to crack
She said ' You best believe it
You ain't goin' nowhere  unless you get that
Monkey Off your back'
I made believe the devil made me do it
I was the evil leader of the pack
You best believe I had it all and then I blew it
Feelin' that f**kin' Monkey On My Back
If you put it a spoon man I would boot it
Some king whose mental house was just a shack
Where do you draw the line when all your friends are dyin'
You got to get that monkey off your back
Uh  uh  uh
Your crystal ball is where you chase the dragon
She said  'now' I bring me home his head inside a sack
But now you find your crystal balls are dragin'
Got to get that monkey off your back
