[Intro: Truth Ali]
(One, two, three, three, three)
Monday morning, motherfuckers gotta go to work and shit out here dealing with a crazy ass world, lotta different things going on and what not
[Verse 1: Truth Ali]
Now come into my place and you can see that I’m a warrior (warrior, warrior, warrior)
With just a little twist of love we bringing hope to free the rope from (from us, from us, from us, from us)
Yeah, man I had the proper metaphysics , from boy to a man, playing possum to the critics
Who said a kid from Bakersfield would never grow rappin’
They said I’m too lyrical, I’m too throwbackish
Fuck this shit, I took more L’s than the dmv
Tell me Lord what the fuck you see in me
Exposing me to leeches in the industry drinking me
Taking all my money, thirsty while I sink and bleed
Blood on my paper, forming into lyrics
I’m coming for they grill, yeah I’m foreman with the lyrics
Listen to the city, sirens honking horns
World is in a tizzy tryna silence all they horror
Hop on social media, it’s race war buzzin’
Cause Trump got elected, a disgrace for the country
Ice-frozen undocumented Mexicans again
Who search for opportunities and lessons for they kids, damn
[Hook: Shaleece & (Truth Ali)]
Manic Monday, ya too familiar
Back up, I’ma need me some space (yeah)
Got so much on my mind (on my mind), got so much on my mind
(Got so much on my mind)
Manic Monday, ya too familiar (yeah)
Back up, I’ma need me some space (yeah)
Got so much on my mind (on my mind), got so much on my mind
[Verse 2: Truth Ali]
Now come into my place and you can see that I’m a warrior (warrior, warrior, warrior)
With just a little twist of love we bringing hope to free the rope from ya
This for my Mexican potnas, they appreciate the border angels leaving water for him
God gave you wings a Red Bull rocking horns, charging at the system
I’m Jordan 23, Lebron rocking 6, I’m just torching with the heat
But I don’t mean pistol play, enough life’s creasing
Fold the black man against they self and they decreasing
Brainwash and bleach ‘em, make them feel they skins a disadvantage while they breathing
And they worth more deceased man
But that doesn’t mean that every white man is lynching
Some is like my kin, I’m talking about the system
I hear the neighbors argue then she smack him with her heels
Kids cry a broken home, the root of all our ills, yeah
[Hook: Shaleece & (Truth Ali)]
Manic Monday, ya too familiar
Back up, I’ma need me some space (yeah)
Got so much on my mind (on my mind), got so much on my mind
(Got so much on my mind)
Manic Monday, ya too familiar (yeah)
Back up, I’ma need me some space (yeah)
Got so much on my mind (on my mind), got so much on my mind
[Verse 3: Truth Ali]
Now come into my place and you can see that I’m a warrior (warrior, warrior, warrior)
With just a little twist of love we bringing hope to free the rope from us (from us, from us)
Yeah, we pissed because we gotta go to work and Uber later
Loan to go to college so work is something you pay for
So ass backward, like sellin’ ya car for gas, word
Going through life by the Instagram password
The people sayin I’m the rap game James Baldwin
Verses and sky hooks like Kareem when he bald
Kareem of the crop, yeah we rise like yeasts
Together we gon’ stand, we ain’t fallin to the beast
Operation get cheese, homie get it how you live
But in the rat race the karma wheel could just flip
Get thrown from the whip, called ya body for ya sins
I’m tryna make a dolla outta 33 cents, damn
[Hook: Shaleece]
Manic Monday, ya too familiar
Back up, I’ma need me some space
Got so much on my mind, got so much on my mind
Manic Monday, ya too familiar
Back up, I’ma need me some space
Got so much on my mind, got so much on my mind
[Outro]
Manic Monday, ya too familiar
Manic Monday, ya too familiar
Just woke up
