Monkey On My Back Lyrics

(Verse)
Have you ever been fucked up? (fucked up)
Down bad on yo luck
Lost some layers, now you stuck in the hood
While you know it's the streets
All you hear is police
Grind so hard, bitch your feet tired
I once celebrated my birthday when the heap died (rest in peace)
Found out in the worst way, now it's beef time
And my mama wasn't pretty when she heard I got hit, I heard how she cried
Fucked me up deep inside
If nowadays a nigga hustling the police know
A nigga told on 32 a zip down
Sweet melody, we sayin now when the streets cryin
But I'mma keep tryin

(Hook)
I'm just tryna keep that monkey off my back
Shit fucked up
You don't know how it feel when a nigga got that monkey on his back
Free all the real niggas man, real talk
Shit so real when a nigga got that monkey on his back
You don't know how it feel when a nigga got that monkey on his back
Can you shake it? Can you shake it?
You don't know how it feel…

(Verse)
And I remember this like it was yesterday
When lil daddy hella sinned, went to make that play
Now in the summer I had to kill him
Humble situation from the beginning
But how is you gon sell a nigga snootchie?
When you caught on camera trust me they don't need no weakness
I thought we had er on the steady before you sinners
I told you I was praying for you, ain't got nothing against you
Fuck those bitches, how the dice roll when it's how we livin
Gotta learn to keep them bitches out yo business
And her daddy may have gotta start payin attention
That's the reason I ain't friendly

(Hook)
I'm just tryna keep that monkey off my back
You don't know how it feel when a nigga got that monkey on his back
Shit so real when a nigga got that monkey on his back
You don't know how it feel when a nigga got that monkey on his back
You don't know how it feel…

(Verse)
And I did all of the story, I done did the whole night
I done made a couple movies, goes around, comes around
Caught up and my home to hell and I'm with a couple pounds
Shit's there, I found out, glad to be no longer around
And I just wish that she can see me now
I swear I'd do whatever just to see you smile
I've been hit by plenty niggas, they wanna see you down
Same niggas I swim with, they wanna see me down
The same niggas I love fuck me, same niggas I brought bread with
Them niggas cross me out for crumbs
But I ain't tryin to make em famous, bitch you'll forever remain nameless
There's a thin line between love and hatred, I don't hate you

(Hook)
I'm just tryna keep that monkey off my back
I 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 back
Hey, why you niggas out there preyin on me?
Shit so real when a nigga got that monkey on his back
I'm prayin for yall niggas man
You don't know how it feel when a nigga got that monkey on his back
Hey, forgive but don't forget
You don't know how it feel…

(Outro)
Rest in peace to everybody we lost
Free all the real niggas locked up
Like I said before, these the street scriptures
Baby Jesus, nigga
