Woah, it's me
But I've been dyin'
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 aint goin nowhere, unless you get that
Monkey off your back
Well 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
Feedin that fuckin 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 draggin
Got to get that monkey off your back
