| Don’t think I’ve slept a wink in days
|
| My world just fades into a haze
|
| This lifes too much, I just can’t stand
|
| What can I do? |
| I’m just a man
|
| Sister says you’re a mess, what'
|
| Papa says discipline that’s what you lack
|
| Gotta monkey on your back
|
| Monkey on your back, monkey on your back, monkey
|
| Clarity’s the bottom of a glass
|
| Some pills and toke a little grass
|
| Ain’t no problem helps me cope
|
| Hey fool that’s why they call it dope
|
| Mama says lost your way, please come back
|
| Gotta monkey on your back
|
| Brother says attitudes way off tack
|
| Gotta monkey on your back
|
| Monkey on your back, monkey on your back, monkey
|
| Escape is just a state of mind
|
| Care what you wish in case you find
|
| Grace under pressure need a smoke
|
| Lose self control and you’re the joke
|
| Friends say what the hell, need you find
|
| Gotta monkey on your back
|
| Boss says times are hard take up the slack
|
| Gotta monkey on your back
|
| Monkey on your back, monkey on your back
|
| Monkey on your back, monkey on your back
|
| Monkey on your back, monkey on your back,
|
| Monkey on your back |
