Monkeys Uptown (Explicit)

I knew you well I know you best

A baby mouth and I the breast

A lazy bone an eagle eye

Circling a city that's higher than the sky

And it's looking like you better do what they say

Those monkeys uptown

They told you not to f**k around

Heavens the name and river is brown

With all the mud and the rain

It never settles down

It never settles down

Your baby left you unimpressed

But no one likes a beggar slightly overdressed

And trouble comes in funky clothes

You can always find a razor lying on the road

And it's looking like you better do what they say

Those monkeys uptown

They told you not to f**k around

Heavens the name and river is brown

With all the mud and the rain

It never settles down

It never settles down

I knew you well I know you best

Everybody owes something to everybody else

Gabrielle gave me some news to give to you:

"Never take him for granted

You've nothing better to do"

And it's looking like you better do what they say

Those monkeys uptown

They told you not to f**k around

Heavens the name and river is brown

With all the mud and the rain

It never settles down

It never settles down

End
