(Verse)
Have you ever been f**ed up? (f**ed 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, b**h 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
f**ed me up deep inside
If nowadays a n***a hustling the police know
A n***a 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
sh** f**ed up
You don’t know how it feel when a n***a got that monkey on his back
Free all the real n***as man, real talk
sh** so real when a n***a got that monkey on his back
You don’t know how it feel when a n***a 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 k** him
Humble situation from the beginning
But how is you gon sell a n***a 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
f** those b**hes, how the dice roll when it’s how we livin
Gotta learn to keep them b**hes 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 n***a got that monkey on his back
sh** so real when a n***a got that monkey on his back
You don’t know how it feel when a n***a got that monkey on his back
You don’t know how it feel…

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
sh**’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 n***as, they wanna see you down
Same n***as I swim with, they wanna see me down
The same n***as I love f** me, same n***as I brought bread with
Them n***as cross me out for crumbs
But I ain’t tryin to make em famous, b**h 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 n***a, you know what I mean?
You don’t know how it feel when a n***a got that monkey on his back
Hey, why you n***as out there preyin on me?
sh** so real when a n***a got that monkey on his back
I’m prayin for yall n***as man
You don’t know how it feel when a n***a 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 n***as locked up
Like I said before, these the street scriptures
Baby Jesus, n***a
