[Hook 1]
Monkey see, monkey do
Tu-tu-tu-tu
Imitate me, I'll imitate you
Monkey see, monkey do
When they make a move ya'll see 'em do it too
'Cause they think it's cool
Monkey see, monkey do
Tu-tu-tu-tu
Imitate me, I'll imitate you
Monkey see, monkey do
When I speak the truth ya'll see 'em do it too
What it do?
[Verse 1]
Born into a land of consumers
Who are influenced by rumors
Who are raddled by shooters
One in a billion pebbles chooses true love over rugers
We all slowly became the same
Only individuals would pave the way
But that's not how the game is played
Destined to fail 'cause we've been locked up in a cage
In a mental one
We set us borders in the form of norms
When really there are none
Descended from our mimikin ancestors
Fiddling ba*tards are the ones they finna run after
So they've been movin' backwards
They think they cap 'em when they wreck 'em
Think their lack is compelled when they stack up dollars
Wrap up their problems with facts of scholars
They are so hypocritical
Ridicule the realness 'cause it ain't political
They gon' belittle you if you speak truth when interviewed
That's 'cause they don't see the pinnacle
[Hook 2]
Monkey see, monkey do
Tu-tu-tu-tu
Imitate me, I'll imitate you
Monkey see, monkey do
When they make a move ya'll see 'em do it too
'Cause they think it's cool
Monkey see, monkey do
Tu-tu-tu-tu
Imitate me, I'll imitate you
Monkey see, monkey do
When I speak the truth ya'll see 'em do it too
What it do?
[Verse 2]
Sins cause sinners
k**ings cause k**ers
Drugs caus dealers
Thugs don't feel us
'Cause they about that hood sh**
Struggle everyday to make it outta the hood quick
Outta the bushes into the industry
Where even the closest are your enemies
Connect to you like centipedes
Just to watch you bleed when they cut you off viciously
Just to be hot for the moment
Rot in the next one, opt for bad omen
Disownin' their situation
How come it ain't different from NN to NY?
We get by with 9 to 5s, living at least two lives
Mesmerized by advertisment
Hypnotized to optimize our
Life standarts, feel abandoned by ourselves
Single-handedly tryin' to do well
This is all part of the plan that you can't understand
'Cause you've been too busy followin' 'em
[Hook 3]
Monkey see, monkey do
Tu-tu-tu-tu
Imitate me, I'll imitate you
Monkey see, monkey do
When they make a move ya'll see 'em do it too
'Cause they think it's cool
Monkey see, monkey do
Tu-tu-tu-tu
Imitate me, I'll imitate you
Monkey see, monkey do
When I speak the truth ya'll see 'em do it too
What it do?
Monkey see, monkey do
Tu-tu-tu-tu
Imitate me, I'll imitate you
Monkey see, monkey do
When they make a move ya'll see 'em do it too
'Cause they think it's cool
Monkey see, monkey do
Tu-tu-tu-tu
Imitate me, I'll imitate you
Monkey see, monkey do
When I speak the truth ya'll see 'em do it too
What it do?
