Outside my window there's a Whole lot of trouble comin' The cartoon killers and the Rag cover clones Stack heels kickin' rhythm Of social circumcision Can't close the closet on Shoe box full of bones Kangaroo lady with her bourbon in a pouch Can't afford the rental on a bamboo couch Collecting back her favors 'cause her well is running dry I know her act is terminal, But she ain't gonna die Slim intoxicado drinkin' dime store hooch Is always in a circle with his part-time pooch Little creepy's playing dollies in the New York rain Thinkin' Bowie's just a knife Ooh the pain I ain't seen the sun since I don't know when The freaks come out at nine And it's twenty to ten What's this funk That you call junk To me it's just monkey business Blind man in the vox that will probably die The village kids laugh as they walk by A psycho is on the edge of this human garbage dump And the vultures in the sewers are telling Him to jump Into the fire from the frying pan Tripping on his tongue For a cool place to stand Where's this shade That you've got it made To me it's just monkey business Monkey business Slippin' on the track Monkey business Jungle in black Ain't your business if I got No monkey on my back Monkey business Slippin' on the track Monkey business Jungle in black Ain't your business if I got Monkey's on my back The vaseline gypsies and silicone souls Dressed to the society Hypocrite heartbeat and cheap alibis Can't get you by that monkey

You got me forced to crack my lids in two I'm still stuck inside this rubber room I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind I'm just another gear in the assembly line - oh no The noose gets tighter around my throat But I ain't at the end of my rope 'cause I won't be the one left behind Can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime Can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Get it? A routine injection, a lethal dose But my day in the sun ain't even close There's no need to waste your prayers on me You better mark my words 'cause I'm history Yes indeed You might beg for mercy to get by But I'd rather tear this thorn from my side I won't be the one left behind Can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime Can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick They tore my intentions apart brick by brick I'm sick of the jive You talk verbal insecticide They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick They tore my intentions apart brick by brick I'm sick of the jive You talk verbal insecticide I won't be the one left behind Can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime Can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind I said slave to the grind Slave to the grind Slave to the grind

I never wanted to be President 'Cause it's nothin' but an ego trip, yeah I didn't want your education 'Cause it's nothin' but a pile of shit You bore me to death, so shut up for God's sake Stop readin' me the riot act While my brains are still intact You say it's raining, but you're pissin' down my back So stop readin' me the riot act I couldn't listen to a word you said This goin' nowhere thing is wearin' thin When your sex, your drugs, and your valid vic' Is just the spit I wipe off my chin I'd rather go nowhere than not know where it's at Stop readin' me the riot act While my brains are still intact You say it's raining, but you're pissin' down my back So stop readin' me the riot act I never wanted to be President 'Cause it's nothin' but an ego trip, yeah I didn't want your education 'Cause it's nothin' but a pile of shit You bore me to death, so shut up for God's sake Stop readin' me the riot act While my brains are still intact You say it's raining, but you're pissin' down my back So stop readin' me the riot act Stop readin' me the riot act While my brains are still intact You say it's raining, but you're pissin' down my back So stop readin' me the riot act The riot act
