Doe B - Monkey On My Back Lyrics
(Verse)Have you ever been *****ed up? (*****ed up)Down bad on yo luckLost some layers, now you stuck in the hoodWhile you know it’s the streetsAll you hear is policeGrind so hard, ***** your feet tiredI once celebrated my birthday when the heap died (rest in peace)Found out in the worst way, now it’s beef timeAnd my mama wasn’t pretty when she heard I got hit, I heard how she cried*****ed me up deep insideIf nowadays a nigga hustling the police knowA nigga told on 32 a zip downSweet melody, we sayin now when the streets cryinBut I’mma keep tryin(Hook)I’m just tryna keep that monkey off my backShit *****ed upYou don’t know how it feel when a nigga got that monkey on his backFree all the real niggas man, real talkShit so real when a nigga got that monkey on his backYou don’t know how it feel when a nigga got that monkey on his backCan you shake it? Can you shake it?You don’t know how it feel…(Verse)And I remember this like it was yesterdayWhen lil daddy hella sinned, went to make that playNow in the summer I had to kill himHumble situation from the beginningBut how is you gon sell a nigga snootchie?When you caught on camera trust me they don’t need no weaknessI thought we had er on the steady before you sinnersI told you I was praying for you, ain’t got nothing against you***** those *****es, how the dice roll when it’s how we livinGotta learn to keep them *****es out yo businessAnd her daddy may have gotta start payin attentionThat’s the reason I ain’t friendly(Hook)I’m just tryna keep that monkey off my backYou don’t know how it feel when a nigga got that monkey on his backShit so real when a nigga got that monkey on his backYou don’t know how it feel when a nigga got that monkey on his backYou don’t know how it feel…(Verse)And I did all of the story, I done did the whole nightI done made a couple movies, goes around, comes aroundCaught up and my home to hell and I’m with a couple poundsShit’s there, I found out, glad to be no longer aroundAnd I just wish that she can see me nowI swear I’d do whatever just to see you smileI’ve been hit by plenty niggas, they wanna see you downSame niggas I swim with, they wanna see me downThe same niggas I love ***** me, same niggas I brought bread withThem niggas cross me out for crumbsBut I ain’t tryin to make em famous, ***** you’ll forever remain namelessThere’s a thin line between love and hatred, I don’t hate you(Hook)I’m just tryna keep that monkey off my backI don’t hate you my nigga, you know what I mean?You don’t know how it feel when a nigga got that monkey on his backHey, why you niggas out there preyin on me?Shit so real when a nigga got that monkey on his backI’m prayin for yall niggas manYou don’t know how it feel when a nigga got that monkey on his backHey, forgive but don’t forgetYou don’t know how it feel…(Outro)Rest in peace to everybody we lostFree all the real niggas locked upLike I said before, these the street scripturesBaby Jesus, nigga
