Zaytoven - Monkey On My Back lyrics

Doe B: sh** sh** f**ed up man My n***a can't win for losing out here He take 3 steps forward and take 4 steps backwards Damn! I can't shake this sh** man You don't know how it feel when a n***a got that monkey on his back I got that monkey on my back Uh! Hey! (Verse) Have you ever been f**ed up? (f**ed up) Down bad on your luck? Lost your last, now you stuck in the hood While you know it's the streets signs All you hear is police sirens Grind so hard, that your feet tired I was celebrated my birthday when Lil' Heat died. (rest in peace) Found out in the worst way, now it's beef time And my mama was in prison when she heard I got hit, I heard how she cried f**ed me up deep inside If nowadays a n***a hustling, they police now A n***a told on Fat and took Zeke down sh** will never be the same, that's why the streets crying But I'm a keep trying (Hook) I'm just trying 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. (Lawd! Damn!) You don't know how it feel when a n***a got that monkey on his back. (Can't shake it. Can't shake it) You don't know how it feel… (Verse) And I remember this like it was yesterday When lil' daddy and lil' sam went to make that play Damn i wish lil' sam ain't had to k** him Humble situation from the beginning But how is you going to say a n***a snitching for? When you caught on camera trust me they don't need no witness I thought we had understanding before your sentence? I told you I was praying for you, I ain't got nothing against you Sometimes that's just how the dice roll when that's how we living You got to learn to keep them b**hes out your business And lil' daddy mane you got to start paying attention That's the reason I ain't friendly (Hook) I'm just trying keep that monkey off my back You don't know how it feel when a n***a got that monkey on his back. (If anybody understand, I understand my n***a. For real.) sh** so real when a n***a got that monkey on his back. (That's how the dice roll sometime man. sh** be f**ed up. sh**.) You don't know how it feel when a n***a got that monkey on his back. (For the real n***as though. Stay the same) You don't know how it feel… (Verse) And I done robbed, and I done stole, and I done did the whole nine I done made a couple moves, what goes around comes around Coke up at my uncle house. Ran out with a couple pounds Next day, I found out, grandma would be no longer around. (Rest in Peace) And I just wish that she can see me now I miss you. I swear I'd do whatever just to see you smile I've been hurt by plenty n***as, they want to see me down Same n***as I swim with, they want to see me drown The same n***as I had love for. The same n***as I broke bread with Them n***as cross me out for crumbs But I ain't tryin to make em famous. They should forever remain nameless There's a thin line between love and hatred and I don't hate you (Hook) I'm just trying keep that monkey off my back. (I don't hate you my n***a, you know what I mean? I pray for ya.) You don't know how it feel when a n***a got that monkey on his back. (Hey, why you n***as out there preying on me?) sh** so real when a n***a got that monkey on his back. (I'm praying for y'all 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 n***a) You don't know how it feel… (Yea) (Outro) DJ Scream 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!
