Monkey Business Lyrics by ILL Harmonics

Monkey Business

2004

[Intro]

Ha, make this monkey business my all
Make this monkey business

[Verse 1: Krum f.k.a. Playdough]

Yo, I gotta rock flows and expose the fake crews
I paid dues and bruises over tape two's
I gotta pen, I'm calling my friend
But sometimes my wack rhymes make me think he pretend
I got a message to push, mush inside trouble
And vase trying the Devil
And erase every case
But my Ford still truckin'
Suckin' the last penny out my pocket
I'm blockin', electrocutin' the socket
For the prophet that I'm kempt for
No, I was sent for
More than some pants sta-store stacks I bled for
Note to sensor
Hope you get more
Out of my rhymin' than Simon saying drive a '64
That's why I lit more shots in the air
It's a flare
Ya gotta wake up and breathe air for the morning
This is a warning that seems right
Awakenin' your spirit so that you can see light

[Hook]

I gotta make music to burn your soul
I tried to pay dues but it took its toll
I gotta make rap fans out of Rock 'n' Roll
I gotta make this Monkey Business

[Pre-Verse Ad-Lib: Playdough]

I gotta make this Monkey Business
I gotta make this Monkey Business

[Verse 2: Blake Knight]

We gotta tour more
So that your is can get a morsel of the cream
Let's seen rising to the top like a spirit-a
Stay above jungle of trees and MC's
Gotta bait the primates to escape the fleas
I gotta stay on track, the rap journey is long
King Kong on my back weighin' down my song
Eatin' locusts while I'm focused on the biz at hand
Reprimand all the chimps grabbin' all my land
Get my suit pressed, boot-dressed, the guard of your tomb
Get your [?] made, cause I'm performin' at noon
Looking like baboon, with a cup and some chains
Tryin' to change the world, but I ain't dressin' the same
Maintain a rapport with a core of street vendors
Mentor the poor, strung out like offender [?]
Meanwhile, Execs equipped to sell sex
But I grade MC's and keep givin' 'em D's

[Hook]

I gotta make music to burn your soul
I tried to pay dues but it took its toll
I gotta make rap fans out of Rock 'n' Roll
I gotta make this Monkey Business

[Outro]

I gotta make this Monkey Business
I gotta make this Monkey Business
I gotta get the monkey off my back
And just make it funky on the track
