（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
