Woah, it's me

But I've been dyin'

Got to get that monkey

Off my back

Fortune teller look into my eyeballs

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"

Well, I make 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 fuckin' monkey on my back

If you put it in a spoon then I won't do it

Some timbers made my house was just a shack

And then you draw the line

When all your friends are dyin'

You got to get that monkey off your back

Crystal ball is where you chase the dragons

She said now, "Bring me home his head inside a sack"

But now you're find your crystal balls are draggin'

Got to get that monkey off your back
