LYRICS

Woke up this morning, I was all in my feelings
I had a monkey on my back selling me on the smack he was dealing
And I said, 'Hmm,' I'm picking up what you're putting down. What's the price?
He said it only cost a sample of your soul, so gone and roll the dice
So he kept tempting me, til I reached for the tree and apple fell in my hands
Then, after a couple bites, I started seeing flashing lights, and it blinded all of my plans
I was stuck with the illusion my pain had no conclusion. I was drowning in a black sand.
I was fixed on the Monkey; He was grinning kind of funky cause he had me in a dark trance

G*DD**MN
He said G*DD**MN yeah
I done caught me a modern slave
Watch me make this ni**a misbehave
He done caught a ride on the wave
For just a simple taste of the flava

Geppetto, tell me what is right now
Can I cut the strings right now?
Tell me what it is right now
Can I cut the strings?

What makes a drug so addictable?
Monkey see, Monkey do, you're predictable
What you need? OTCs or Prescriptables
Sh** You falling off the wagon, you done mixed 'em all.
Statistically, is a fix even fixable
If it's sex, it's kind of hard when you done d**cked 'em all
If it's dollars, It's even harder when you spent 'em all
And God forbid it's 'T', that make your d**k fall off.
And there's no regeneration from the sh*t we do that takes us on a swing
The Monkey's got your a*s, he's bought to fling
And you can't fly, your habits have no wings
And curiosity has got you by the strings
It's hard to admit when you're stuck, like white on rice
Get high on life cause everybody gets to buy one vice
So dance ni**a, Come and dance with me
Oh, and watch out for that tree (You get it?)

G*DD**MN
He said G*DD**MN yeah
I done caught me a modern slave
Watch me make this ni**a misbehave
He done caught a ride on the wave
For just a simple taste of the flava
(He just need a taste, oh. No no no. Oh, tell me what it is right now)
