Boots Riley - Get That Monkey Off Your Back lyrics

"I'm supposed to be draggin my foot, out your motherf**in a**" [Hook One] Get that monkey off your back {*2X*} Get that monkey {*2X*} Get that monkey off your back {*3X*} Get that monkey {*2X*} Get that monkey off your back [Hook Two: repeat 2X] Get that monkey off your back boy Get that monkey off your back girl Get that monkey off your back [Boots] 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 [Hook One] + [Hook Two] [Boots] 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 a** purple like the Lakers More like the Clippers cause they tryin to fade us; now holla wit me [Hook One] + [Hook Two] [Boots] 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 [Hook One] + [Hook Two] "Get your foot off my neck!" {*4X*}
