Get That Monkey Off Your Back - The Coup

Get that monkey off your back

Get that monkey

Get that monkey off your back

Get that monkey

Get that monkey off your back

Get that monkey off your back boy

Get that monkey off your back girl

Get that monkey off your back

You know it ain’t for us

You know they thank we dangerous

Even with no thangs to bust

They wanna keep puttin chains to us

That’s why I constantly sang and cuss

And when I bring it it’s a gang of fuss

They tryin to send us out to bang for bucks

They must be off of that angeldust;

so check it out

I’m an instigator

Mashin out or in the scraper

And you can listen at me now or later

But stop givin them pimps your paper

Used to be caught up in them capers

Havin to hustle, rustle up my status

They beat my yellow ass purple like the Lakers

More like the Clippers cause they tryin to fade us;

now holla wit me

Aight we finally gots new momentum

Let’s fill the fridge up in the kitchen

It’s lotsa pots for cookin D-boy chicken

But we still ain’t got one to piss in

They say I’m always fittin the description

Of selling unprescribed prescriptions

But it’s them with the green addiction

Think we gon' have to shake 'em off and keep dippin;

so sing along

«Get your foot off my neck!»
