Monkey On My Back

(Woe is me, and I've been dyin'

Got to get that monkey off my back)

Yoooowwwwwww

The fortune teller looked into my eyeballs

The wrinkles on her face about to crack

She said, "You best believe it

You ain't goin' anywhere

Unless you get that monkey off your back"

[Ad-lib] whoo hoo yeah

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 fucking monkey on my back

Yow!

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, bring me home his head inside a sack"

But now you find your crystal balls are dragging

Uh, uh, uh, got to get that monkey off your back
